Use the Five Elements Theory to Change Your Life with COPD
You must be familiar with the Chinese Five Elements "Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water". If you have had fortune telling, you will definitely know more - the fortune teller analyzes your birth date and horoscope to check the distribution of the five elements in your horoscope, as well as what is missing from the five elements in your horoscope, and what the gods of the five elements in your horoscope are.
Today we are not going to talk about fortune telling. What I want to talk to you about is how to use the theory of the five elements to change your fate of COPD.
What is the Five Elements Theory
The Five Elements Theory is the application of the Five Elements thought in medicine and has been developed into an academic theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
It is mainly centered on the five elements and the five internal organs: liver-wood, heart-fire, spleen-earth, lung-metal, kidney-water.
The treatment methods determined based on the mutual restraint of the five elements include the method of suppressing wood and supporting soil, cultivating soil and producing water, assisting metal and leveling wood, purging the south and nourishing the north, cultivating soil and producing metal, etc.
To cure your COPD, the last method is the "cultivation of soil to generate metal method".
Why the "Cultivate the Earth to Generate Metal Method" is effective in treating COPD
The "Cultivate the Earth to Generate Metal Method" means to replenish lung qi and nourish the spleen and lungs simultaneously by tonifying the spleen and qi. The purpose is to achieve the effect of treating lung disease. Therefore, it is also clinically known as "the method of nourishing the spleen and benefiting the lungs". Its theoretical basis is the principle of the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine. According to the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, the philosophical basis of traditional Chinese medicine, the origin of the world is qi.
The five elements are the five basic elements that make up the world, namely wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, which correspond to the five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
The lesions of COPD are in the lungs and are closely related to the spleen and stomach.
According to the principle of "earth generates metal" in the theory of the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs belong to the metal of the five elements, and the spleen belongs to the earth of the five elements. The spleen, stomach and lungs have a physiological relationship of mother and child, and the normal physiological functions of the lungs are essential. Exertion depends on the water and grain essence provided by the spleen for transportation and transformation. A strong spleen is a prerequisite for the lungs to transport food.
Pathologically, there is a mutual transformation relationship between the diseases of the spleen, stomach and lungs, that is, the relationship of "the mother's disease affects the child" or "the child's disease affects the mother". The mutual development relationship in the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine is " The theoretical basis of treating lung diseases by “cultivating soil to generate metal”.
Therefore, there is a method of nourishing the spleen and stomach to treat COPD.
The prescription I created based on this theory
Based on the theory of "cultivating soil to generate metal", we use Jianpi Huatan Decoction to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with lung and spleen deficiency, and have achieved extraordinary results. Good curative effect.
Jianpihuatan Decoction is composed of Sijunzi Decoction and Sanzi Yangqin Decoction, which is composed of Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, licorice, white mustard seeds, perilla seeds, rapeseed seeds, etc. Sijunzi Decoction is the basic formula in this prescription. It replenishes qi and strengthens the spleen. It treats the syndrome of spleen and stomach qi deficiency, which is the root cause. It is combined with Sanzi Yangqin Decoction, which lowers qi and quickens the diaphragm, resolves phlegm and eliminates food. It treats the symptoms of phlegm and Yongqi stagnation.
For cough with phlegm, add Pinellia ternata, Magnolia officinalis, and dried tangerine peel to dry out dampness and resolve phlegm; for yellow and sticky phlegm accompanied by body heat, add Scutellaria baicalensis and Gypsum mulberry bark to clear and purge lung heat; for irritability and lethargy, add Acorus, Polygala, and Yujin to resuscitate the mind. For reducing phlegm and oliguria and edema, add aconite and cinnamon twig to warm the kidney and stimulate yang.
This prescription replenishes deficiency and eliminates evil, treats both the symptoms and root causes, and is in line with the treatment principles of stable COPD.
The clinical verification results of this prescription are gratifying
Mr. Wei, 68, has been coughing and wheezing for four years. He is particularly prone to catching colds. When he catches a cold, his coughing and wheezing worsens. At that time, I had a cough with thin and frothy phlegm, weak vomiting, full chest and epigastrium, shortness of breath, low voice, cold appearance, easy sweating, dizziness, sallow complexion, tired look, edema of lower limbs, Lack of alum in the stomach; loose stools, once or twice a day.
He came to me for consultation on December 19, 2018. Observe the tongue coating and pulse condition: the tongue is light and moist, the coating is thin and white, and the pulse is thin and weak. Therefore, the syndrome differentiation is that drinking stops in Zhongzhou and shoots up to the lungs. Treatment method: Warm the foot Taiyin spleen, and participate in the treatment of the hand Taiyin lung.
The recipe chooses the spleen-strengthening and phlegm-removing decoction composed of Sijunzi Decoction and Sanzi Yangqin Decoction. It consists of Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, licorice, white mustard seeds, perilla seeds, rapeseed seeds, etc., 14 doses, decoction and taken in the usual way.
After taking only 6 doses of the medicine, the cough has been reduced by half, the edema has also disappeared by half, and the appetite has gradually increased, and I am noisy and hungry when it is time to eat. The original prescription was continued for 14 doses.
During the third diagnosis, this prescription is added with Fangfeng and made into pills (Yupingfeng Powder) for regular consumption to replenish qi, consolidate the surface, and prevent external infections. After such consolidation treatment for about four to five months, Mr. Wei's symptoms basically disappeared.
You can also be like Mr. Wei
Mr. Wei has been suffering from COPD for more than four years. When he has a severe cough and asthma attack, he feels like he can't inhale or exhale. Holding your breath is like being half buried in the soil. The resulting physical and mental exhaustion makes your life a mess.
However, after just four or five months of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Mr. Wei’s symptoms were basically all gone.
Through this medical record, what I want to tell you is, don’t be afraid of the torture of various symptoms of COPD. As long as you meet a doctor who is good at syndrome differentiation and medication, it won’t take long for you to have the disease. Like Mr. Wei, you can come out of the COPD dilemma of "being half buried in the soil" and enjoy a normal life with smooth breathing.
