Foreword

This guide is intended for those interested in traditional Chinese medicine. Without pretending to be comprehensive and covering the material of traditional Chinese medicine even on such a small topic as the treatment of kidney diseases, it provides an opportunity to create an idea of ​​the principles and tactics of treatment used by Chinese doctors. While working on this guide, the author, on the one hand, tried to preserve and convey to the Russian-speaking reader the philosophy and terminology of Chinese medicine as much as possible, and on the other hand, to make the text understandable and understandable for doctors of Western medicine. For objective reasons, within the framework of this project, it is impossible to give detailed comments and explanations to all specific oriental categories and terms that are mentioned in the manual. If necessary, you can use the relevant educational literature on Chinese medicine.

The author will be grateful for all critical comments and suggestions on the content of the manual. Comments can be sent to the author at [email protected] or to SINOPHARM Company at .

The kidneys are an organ concept in Chinese medicine.

kidneys (shen, 肾): located in the lumbar region, which is called the “abode of the Kidneys” ( shen chi fu, 肾之府), on the sides of the spinal column, one on the left and one on the right, have a bean-shaped shape. They belong to the element Water. The kidneys store the quintessence ching, control water, manage the perception of Qi. The kidney channel is called foot canal minor kidney yin. Paired organ - bladder, paired channel - foot canal great yang bladder. Of the five organs, Zang Kidneys are called Yin to Yin.

The Kidney Orifice opens at the ears and two Yin orifices (the urethral orifice and the anus), among the tissues they correspond to the bones, their splendor is seen in the hair, among the emotions the kidneys correspond to fear, among the liquids liquid saliva. The kidneys store the will zhi.

In the human body, the kidneys perform the following functions:

1. Keep the quintessence- ching (cang ching, 藏精):

The kidneys store Jing, which is the force that supports the birth, growth, development, reproduction of a person, ensuring the vital activity of all organs and systems.

Kidney Jing consists of two parts: preheavenly and postheavenly (congenital and acquired). The pre-heaven is inherited from the parents, the post-heaven is formed from nutrients processed by the spleen and stomach. The post-heavenly beginning nurtures and supports the pre-heavenly.

Jing of the Kidneys ensures the growth, development, reproduction of the human body. IN " Huang di nei jing. Su wen"("Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. Simple Questions", "黄帝内经.素问") says: “A woman at the age of 7 has abundant Kidney qi, her teeth are replaced, her hair grows. At the age of 2 times 7 years, the celestial sign gui is reached, the ren-mai vessel becomes passable, the chun-mai vessel becomes full, regular menstruation begins, and she gains the ability to have children. At the age of 3 times 7 years, the energy of the Kidneys is balanced, wisdom teeth grow, the growth of the body reaches its limit. At the age of 4 times 7 years, the ligaments and bones are strong, hair growth reaches its limit, the body reaches a period of maturity and prosperity. At the age of 5 times 7 years old, the light Yang channel is depleted, the face begins to fade, the hair begins to fall out. At the age of 6 times 7 years, the three yang channels are depleted at the top, the face completely fades, the hair begins to turn gray. At the age of 7 times 7 years, the ren-mai vessel becomes empty, the chun-mai vessel is depleted and weakened, the celestial sign gui becomes impoverished, earth path becomes impassable, the body deteriorates and the woman is unable to have children.

At the age of 8, a man has full Kidney energy, hair grows, teeth are replaced. At the age of 2 times 8 years, the energy of the Kidneys is abundant, the heavenly sign gui is reached, the seed is able to ejaculate, Yin and Yang are harmonious, the man is able to have children. At the age of 3 times 8 years, Kidney energy is balanced, ligaments and bones are strong, wisdom teeth grow, body growth reaches its limit. At the age of 4 times 8 years, the ligaments and bones reach their peak, the muscles are filled with strength. At the age of 5 times 8 years, the energy of the Kidneys is depleted, the hair falls out, the teeth deteriorate. At the age of 6 times 8 years, the yang energy is depleted at the top, the face fades, the hair on the head and temples turns gray. At the age of 7 times 8 years, the energy of the liver is depleted, the ligaments are not able to move, the heavenly sign gui becomes impoverished, the seed becomes small, the kidneys weaken, the development of the body reaches its limit. At the age of 8 times 8 years, teeth and hair fall out.

The Kidney Jing determines the course of a person's entire life. With the birth and growth of the organism, it becomes more and more abundant. In time, the Kidney Jing reaches a heavenly sign gui (tian gui, 天癸), which corresponds to the element Water, which implies the achievement of puberty. Then the Jing of the Kidneys begins to deplete, the body ages, sexual activity fades over time.

Birth, growth, maturity, old age, death are determined by the Kidney Jing. The state of teeth, bones, hair reflects the state of the kidney Jing.

With a deficiency of Kidney Jing in children, there is a lag in growth and development, in adults sexual activity decreases, the body becomes prematurely decrepit, and old age sets in quickly.

Jing of the Kidneys activates and regulates the vital activity of the human body, all its organs and systems. This is achieved through the yin and yang energies contained in the quintessence jing. Yin and Yang of the Kidneys are the basis of the Yin and Yang of the whole organism. If the balance of Yin and Yang of the Kidneys is disturbed, the harmony of the whole organism is disturbed, which leads to the development of diseases.

Jan Pochek ( shen yang, 肾阳) - provides warming, movement, excitement, metamorphosis, is the basis of Yang of the whole organism. To emphasize the importance of kidney yang, it is also called true yang ( zhen yang, 真阳), primordial Yang ( yuan yang, 元阳) or true Fire ( zhen ho, 真火). Zhang Jingyue in Lei Jing Tu Yi (Wing Schemes for the Canon of Categories, 类经图翼) wrote: “The great jewel of heaven is the red sun; the great jewel of man is the true Yang.”

With a lack of Kidney Yang, the intensity of metabolism decreases, the production of heat and energy decreases, and vital activity decreases. internal organs. Such a person has a pale face, chilliness, cold extremities, a weak, rare pulse, slow reactions, decreased libido, impotence, infertility, back pain, weakness in the legs, asthenia.

Yin Kidney ( shen yin, 肾阴) - provides hydration, nutrition, peace, shapes, controls and balances yang heat, is the basis of the yin of the whole body. To emphasize the importance of kidney yin, it is also called true yin ( zhen yin, 真阴), primordial Yin ( yuan yang, 元阴) or true Water ( zhen ho, 真水). Zhu Danxi in "Additional Reasoning on the Correct Classification" (" Ge zhi yu lun”, “格致余论”) wrote: “When true Yin evaporates, if Yin is emptied, then disease develops, if Yin is interrupted, then death occurs.”

With a deficiency of Kidney Yin, the secretion of fluids decreases, peace is lost, and a relative excess of Yang develops. Such a person has hot flashes, restlessness, dry mouth, night sweats, fever in the five centers, the pulse is thin and frequent, the tongue is red, dry, pain in the lower back, weakness in the legs, increased sexual excitability, wet dreams, premature ejaculation are also possible.

2. Manage water ( zhu shui, 主水): The kidneys are the main organ that maintains and regulates the exchange of body fluids and water throughout the body.

Yin and Yang of the Kidneys regulate the activity of all links of water metabolism, regulate the work of the Stomach, Small and Large Intestines, Spleen, Lungs, Triple Warmer, Bladder and, finally, the Kidneys themselves. Yang stimulates the formation, distribution, excretion of fluids; Yin slows down these processes.

The water that comes to the kidneys from the whole body, under the influence of the Yang of this organ, evaporates, and its pure part returns back and is distributed throughout the body. The cloudy part goes to the bladder and is excreted in the urine. Kidney yin and yang govern the opening and closing of the urinary tract.

If this function of the kidneys is disturbed, a pathology of water metabolism develops, edema and urination disorders occur.

3. Manage the perception of energy ( zhu on qi, 主纳气):

The kidneys help the lungs to inhale, make it deep. Due to this function of the Kidneys, the inhaled Qi descends and is conducted down to the lower cinnabar field ( xia dan tian, 下丹田), to the original outpost ( guan yuan, 关元), where it accumulates and participates in maintaining the vital activity of the human body.

The pathology of this function is manifested by shortness of breath, shallow breathing.

In the Wu Xing system, the Kidneys are connected by a certain system of correspondences, which can also be considered as the functions of this organ:

1. Manage the bones ( zhu gu, 主骨):

The Kidney Jing provides nourishment to the bones. If the Kidney Ching is abundant, then the bones are strong and healthy, have the correct shape.

The emptiness of the Kidneys can be manifested by aching and weakness in the lower back and knees, brittleness, atrophy of the bones, and a violation of their development.

Teeth are an excess of bones ( chi wei gu zhi yu, 齿为骨之余). With normal kidney function, the teeth are strong; if the Kidneys are exhausted, then the teeth become weak, stagger and fall out.

2. Generate bone marrow, fill the brain ( sheng sui, chun nao; 生髓, 充脑):

The bone marrow is located inside the bones, providing their nutrition. It should be noted that in Chinese medicine, the brain- Sui denotes not only the bone, but also the spinal cord, which is also located inside the bones, in the spinal canal.

The brain is a sea of ​​bone (spinal) marrow ( nao wei sui zhi hai, 脑为髓之海). Kidney Jing is involved in filling and supporting the functioning of the brain.

With weakness of the kidneys, depletion of the bone (spinal) and brain can develop, which is manifested by a decrease in memory, attention, mental retardation, and senile insanity.

3. Their (kidney) splendor is manifested in the hair ( qi hua zai fa, 其华在发):

The Kidney Jing nourishes the hair on the head. In youth, when the Kidneys are filled with Jing, the hair is strong, shiny, black (or has a different color); in old age, as the Kidneys are depleted, the hair becomes dull, brittle, turns gray and falls out.

4. Kidney Hole - ears and two Yin holes ( kai qiao yu er he er yin, 开窍于耳和二阴):

Jing and Kidney Qi fill and support the function of the hearing organ. With weakness of the Kidneys and insufficient nutrition of the ears, hearing is reduced, there is noise, ringing in the ears. Small, thin Auricle also serves as a sign of the emptiness of the Kidneys.

Under two yin holes ( er yin, 二阴) refer to the opening of the urethra and the anus.

Kidney Qi governs the activity of the two Yin holes; The storage action of the Kidney keeps these natural openings closed and also ensures that they open and close in time.

Weakness of the kidneys can be manifested by a violation of the activity of the opening of the urethra - increased urination, urinary incontinence, enuresis, and pollution, prospermia can also be attributed here; and disruption anus – prolonged diarrhea, fecal incontinence, habitual constipation.

5. Fluid (Kidney) - saliva- That (zai e wei to, 在液为唾):

Due to the activity of the Kidneys, liquids rise upward to the jin-jin (金津) and yu-e (玉液) points and are excreted in the form of saliva- That. Saliva- That it is a very thin, frothy saliva that is secreted outside of meals and moistens the oral cavity. Since in ancient times, adherents of the doctrine of nurturing life considered saliva- That Kidney fluid, they paid special attention to the fact that it should be swallowed and carried down to the lower cinnabar field, returned to the original outpost and thus strengthen the Kidneys.

6. Emotion (Kidney) - fear ( zai zhi wei kong, 在志为恐):

Fear hurts the Kidneys, with fear Qi rushes down, which is manifested by incontinence of urine and stool.

Storage is the main physiological function of the Kidneys

The main physiological feature of the Kidneys can be summarized in one word - STORAGE. The kidneys are in charge closing and storage (闭藏, bi tsang). The kidneys are the pre-heavenly basis of the human body, the root of life, they store the original Yang and the original Yin, store fire and water in themselves. The kidneys store Jing; The Kidney Jing must be preserved within and must not be lost. Kidneys are in charge of fire ming-men, it should be hidden and should not be overly exposed.

If the preserving properties of the Kidneys are violated, then this leads to the loss of Yin and Yang Qi, loss of Jing, weakness of the lower gate, incontinence of urine, stool, semen, and fetus.

For greater clarity, we present the functions of the Kidneys, as well as their pathological changes in the form of a table:

The Kidneys are characterized by the development of empty syndromes, which are based on Yang Kidney Emptiness Syndrome And Empty Kidney Yin Syndrome.

Void Yang Kidney

Void Yang Kidney (shen yang xu, 肾阳虚), also called Yang Kidney Deficiency (shen yang bu zu, 肾阳不足) is a type of empty cold syndrome that develops as a result of exhaustion, lack of Kidney Yang, a decrease in the warming and Qi-transforming function of Kidney Yang.

The main causes of the syndrome Emptiness Yang Kidney:

• congenital, constitutional emptiness Yang
• Yang depletion, fire depletion ming-men with age
• long-term debilitating disease leading to yang emptiness
• prolonged sexual fatigue

Clinical manifestations: pale or dark face, aches and weakness in the lower back and knees, cold pains in the lower back and knees, chilliness, cold extremities, especially legs, weakness; impotence, premature ejaculation, infertility in men; infertility, decreased libido in women; morning diarrhea, loose stools with undigested food residues; increased urination, light urine, increased nocturnal diuresis, decreased urine output, swelling; pale tongue with white coating; deep, thin and weak pulse, especially at the point chi.

• decreased sexual function
• urinary disorders, stool
• aches and weakness, cold pains in the lower back and knees
• chilliness, cold extremities

gui fu di huang wan (jin gui shen qi wan) - a remedy for the treatment of emptiness Jan Kidney

For the first time, these pills called shen qi wan(Kidney Qi Pills) are described in the treatise "Important Information from the Golden Casket" (" jin gui yao lue”, “金匮要略”), written by Zhang Zhongjing (150-219) during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Thus, their history goes back almost 2000 years.

Subsequently, they were also called Ba wei shen qi wan(Eight Component Kidney Qi Pills, 八味肾气丸), jin gui shen qi wan(Kidney Qi Pills from the Golden Chest, 金匮肾气丸) and gui fu di huang wan(Pills with cinnamon, aconite and rehmannia, 桂附地黄丸).

The various names of the pills reflect their composition and action, as well as the treatise in which they were first described:

• shen qi wan(Kidney Qi Pills) - replenish Qi, strengthen Kidney Yang.
• Ba wei shen qi wan(Kidney Qi pills of eight components) - the composition of the pills includes eight medicinal substances.
• gui fu shen qi wan(Kidney Qi Pills with Cinnamon and Aconite) gui fu ba wei wan(Pills of eight components with cinnamon and aconite) - the main components of the remedy are aconite and cinnamon, which warm and replenish Kidney Yang.
• jin gui shen qi wan(Kidney Qi Pills from the Golden Casket) - Pills are first mentioned in the treatise "Important Information from the Golden Casket".

These pills are mentioned in " important information from the golden casket" in five chapters:

• Zhong feng li jie bing mai zheng bing zhi(中风历节病脉证并治) - Pulses, syndromes and treatment of "wind blow" and "joint joint" diseases.
• xue bi xu lao bing mai zheng bing zhi(血痹虚劳病脉证并治)) - Pulses, syndromes and treatment of "blood stasis-bi" and "empty exhaustion" diseases.
• Tan yin ke sow bing mai zheng bing zhi(痰饮咳嗽病脉证并治)) - Pulses, syndromes and treatment of diseases "cough with sputum-tan and sputum-yin".
• Xiao ke xiao bian bu li lin bing mai zheng bing zhi(消渴小便不利淋病病脉证并治)) - Pulses, syndromes and treatment of diseases "wasting thirst", "difficulty urinating" and "dysuria".
• fu ren za bing mai zheng zhong zhi(妇人杂病脉证并治)) - Pulses, syndromes and treatment of "various female diseases".

This indicates the extraordinary breadth of application of this tool. Since then, throughout the history of Chinese medicine, pills have gained more and more recognition, and the scope of their use has become more and more widespread. It can be said that the creation Jin gui shen qi wan (Gui fu di huang wan) served as the source of the treatment of emptiness of the Kidneys, stimulated the process of deeper study and analysis of this syndrome by subsequent generations of doctors. With the correct syndromal application of this remedy in clinical practice, outstanding results can be achieved in the treatment of internal, female, children's and other diseases.

In "Important Information from the Golden Casket" the composition of the pills is described as follows:

“Rehmania roots 8 liang; pulp of dogwood fruits, rhizome of Dioscorea 4 lyana each; Chastukha tubers, poria sclerotium, 3 liana each, cinnamon sprigs, Carmichel aconite roots (processed) 1 lian each.

Crush the above eight components, roll up with heated honey pills the size of a utuna fruit. Take 15 pills with wine. Dosage can be increased up to 20 pills. You can take one more time per day.

In the Treatise of Sun Simiao (581-682) "A Thousand Golden Recipes" (" Qian jin fan”, “千金方”), cinnamon sprigs were replaced with cinnamon bark and since then the recipe has been used in this form until the present.

Currently, according to the standards of the State Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, this ancient medicine is produced under the official name gui fu di huang wan, while the composition and ratio of components exactly correspond to the ancient recipes.

Compound:

Recipe scheme:

Yang Kidney deficiency	replenish Jan Kidney	ruler		nourish kidney yin
		dignitaries	Chinese cinnamon bark	sharp and hot; make up the fire ming-men, warm Yang and generate Qi, slightly promote the formation of fire
				replenish the Liver and Spleen, nourish Jing and Blood
		assistants	peony root bark	brings fire out of the liver
			sclerotium of poria cocos	remove water, decant dampness, remove turbidity, contribute to the manifestation of the action of warming replenishing components
			tubers of the chastukha orientalis

Mechanism of action and indications for use:

They warm and replenish Yang Kidney. Used for Kidney Yang deficiency, aching and chilliness in the lower back and knees, swelling of the extremities, urinary retention or profuse urination, shortness of breath and cough with thick and thin sputum, debilitating thirst.

The pills are the earliest prescription for replenishing the Kidneys. Another famous remedy liu wei di huang wan(Rhehmania Six Ingredient Pills) discussed below and its many modifications have all evolved from gui fu di huang wan and, in fact, are derivatives of this drug.

The purpose of the application gui fu di huang wan is warming and replenishing (wen bu, 温补) fire in the water (Shui zhong ji ho, 水中之火), strengthening true bud yang (shen zhong zhen yang, 肾中真阳). As it is written in ancient Chinese treatises - "to nourish the source of fire to eliminate the barrier of yin" (益火之源,以消阴翳).

Kidney it pre-heavenly base, the source of energy for the vital activity of the entire human body.

With the emptiness of Kidney Yang, there is a lack of Yang in the lower heater, the warming function of Yang is disturbed, chilliness, coldness of the lower extremities, pain in the lower back, weakness in the legs, and cramps in the lower abdomen appear.

With the emptiness of Jan Kidneys, their functional activity, water management is disrupted.

The kidneys move poorly and convert water, this is manifested by fluid retention in the body, impaired urine excretion, and difficulty urinating.

The kidneys do not control, do not retain water, and then there is frequent urination, urinary incontinence.

When Yang Kidney is empty, the physiological transformation and transformation of water is disturbed, it spills over the body and turns into pathological dampness, phlegm, etc., the patient swells, the feet become wet.

The Kidney system does not rise and transform water into body fluids, debilitating thirst develops.

The main plants of the recipe are aconite and cinnamon, they strengthen Yang and fuel the fire. Yin and Yang are rooted in each other, give birth to each other. With a mono-replenishment of Yang, on the one hand, the Yin beginning of a person can be damaged, and on the other hand, with such a replenishment, there is no support for replenishing the Yang of the Kidneys. The pundits of ancient China used to say: “Those who are skilled in replenishing Yang should look for Yang in Yin” (善补阳者,必于阴中求阳).

Therefore, Yang-replenishing medicinal plants are combined in gui fu di huang wan with plants that moisturize and nourish Yin: rehmannia roots, dogwood fruit pulp.

Also, when strengthening the body, one should not forget about the removal of pathogenic factors. To do this, the pills contain the bark of the roots of peony, poria, ditty, which remove pathological muddy dampness from the Kidneys.

Thanks to this, Yin and Yang come into harmony, Kidney Qi is replenished, and the function is normalized.

As the famous Qing physician Fei Boxiong wrote: “There is rhemania with fatty properties to replenish the water of the Kidneys, and there is also a chastukha with spreading properties to remove turbidity from the Kidneys to help it. There is dogwood with warming and binding properties of the liver channel, and there is also peony with cleansing and fire-removing properties of the liver to support it. There is Dioscorea with properties that collect and hold the spleen canal, and there is also poria with insipid and decanting properties of the spleen in harmony with it..

If we analyze the composition gui fu di huang wan, then we will see that the medicine simultaneously uses components that replenish Yang and components that nourish Yin; while the number and dosage of the second is much greater than the first. From here you can see the deepest philosophical and practical meaning laid down by Zhang Zhongjing when creating this medicine. It does not consist in warming and replenishing the Kidneys with a lack of Yang, but in replenishing Jing and restoring the Qi metamorphoses in the kidneys. This recipe moisturizes Yin to nurture Yang, thereby replenishing the true Yang Qi of the Kidneys, restoring their function. That is why they are called Pills Jan Pochek, A Kidney Qi Pills. Rehmannia, Dioscorea, Dogwood, which make up most of the recipe, are plants that nourish Yin; they replenish the Jing of the Kidneys. A small amount of cinnamon and aconite are added to this block, which have a warming and moving effect; they strengthen Yang and activate Kidney Qi. Such a composition of pills is based on one of the main postulates of the “Canon of the Yellow Emperor on the internal” (“ huang di nei jing”, “黄帝内经”), which reads: small fire generates qi(少火生气). Especially clearly, and at the same time figuratively, this is described by the Qing Wu Qian, who in the treatise “The Golden Mirror of Medicine” (“ And zong ching jian"", "医宗金鉴") quoted another famous doctor Ke Qin: In Shen qi wan pills, cinnamon and aconite make up one tenth of the moisturizing substances of yin. The meaning of this is not to replenish the fire, but to gradually generate fire. This is the creation of Kidney Qi».

The original recipe used cinnamon sprigs, but they were later replaced with cinnamon bark. Although both the twigs and the bark of Chinese cinnamon are able to warm and replenish yang, their properties are somewhat different from each other. Cinnamon sprigs to a greater extent restore the permeability of Yang, their property of mobility, therefore they are used mainly in the formation of liquid phlegm-yin, spilling water and dampness, stagnation of Qi and Blood. The bark promotes the perception of Qi, returns the fire to its sources, its property is gathering, not movement. Therefore, when the fire is exhausted ming-men, the ascent of an empty fire to the top, insufficient perception of Qi by the kidneys, the emptiness and coldness of the lower heater, it is more preferable to use cinnamon bark.

Ever since Zhang Zhongjing suggested using gui fu di huang wan (jin gui shen qi wan), numerous generations of doctors in China, based on their clinical research, have significantly expanded the scope of their application. Summing up this vast experience and knowledge, we can summarize the action of the remedy as follows:

1. Warm and replenish the lower primordial (wen bu xia yuan, 温补下元): The kidneys store primordial yin (yuan yin, 元阴) and primordial yang (yuan yang, 元阳). Yang Kidney warms the lower heater, warms the human body. gui fu di huang wan They warm and replenish Kidney Qi, they are used for the emptiness of Yang Kidney Qi, weakness of the warming function, which are manifested by cold pains in the lower abdomen, aching and pain in the lower back and knees, increased urination, constipation, impotence, menstrual irregularities and infertility, etc.

1. warm yang and remove water (wen yang li shui, 温阳利水): Kidney is a water organ-zang, Kidney Qi warms the bladder, supports its Qi-transforming function. The pills warm the original Yang Qi in the kidneys, restore their weakened function. They are used for edema, urinary retention, tan-yin phlegm in the body due to the emptiness of Kidney Yang and the weakness of the Qi-transforming function.

1. Warm and gain empty Yang (wen she xu yang, 温摄虚阳): Kidney is the seat of dragon-thunder-like fire ( long lei chi ho, 龙雷之火). When the Kidneys are empty, their storing function is violated, an empty fire floats to the surface. Pills replenish the Kidneys and improve their storage, can be used for headaches, toothaches, palpitations, insomnia with emptiness in violation of the storage of Yang Qi in the kidneys and the emergence of empty fire.

1. Replenish the quintessence-Jing and bone marrow- Sui (tian jing bu sui, 填精补髓): The kidneys govern the bones and brain- Sui. With a lack of Kidney Qi, there is not enough energy to generate the brain- Sui, which is manifested by softness and weakness of bones in children, lag in physical and speech development; dementia in the elderly. In this case, you can also use gui fu di huang wan.

pills gui fu di huang wan can also be used as a means of correcting the constitutional emptiness of the Kidneys manifested insufficiency of Qi, Yang, Jing.

The following signs are characteristic of the constitutional emptiness of the Kidneys:

1. Inspection data:

• dark circles around the eyes
• loose teeth the color of dead bone
• pale atrophied gums
• small, thin, dark ears
• weak, atrophied limbs
• developmental delay in children
• weakness
• drooping head

Data of linguodiagnostics:

• when Jan Kidney is empty, the tongue is pale or pale edematous, the coating is white or white slippery
• when the Jing of the Kidneys is empty, the tongue is pale pink, atrophic, sluggish, small
• when the Kidney Qi is empty, the tongue is pale, the coating is thin white
• with yang emptiness and excess cold, the coating is black or slippery wet
• in true cold and false heat, the tongue is pale, tender, the coating is black, needle-like, dry, but when thirsty, the patient drinks a little

Listening data:

• cough with copious sputum
• shortness of breath, shortness of breath, or mouth open, shoulders raised, patient unable to lie down

Palpation data:

• for the emptiness of the kidneys is characterized by a deep ( Chen), thin ( si), tiny ( wei), weak ( jo) and other types of empty weakened pulse
• when Kidney Qi is empty, the pulse is deep, thin, weakened
• with emptiness of Kidney Yang, the pulse is deep sparse, or thin sparse, or weak sparse, or tiny thin weak
• when Kidney Jing is empty, the pulse is thin, empty or thin, weak

Antioxidant Properties gui fu di huang wan

Without oxygen, a person cannot live, but at the same time, under certain conditions, it turns into a formidable danger to health. Every day we breathe polluted air, smoke, eat food with chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, drink water containing a lot of harmful substances, overwork, lead a stressful life. Under the influence of these factors in the body, the formation or formation of the so-called " free radicals».

Free radicals are molecules that have an unpaired electron. They are formed due to the fact that one electron is torn off or added to the molecule. In an effort to acquire a normal number of electrons, they are ready to take the missing particle from any molecule they meet, causing chain reaction destruction. First of all, cell membranes, DNA, proteins, and enzymes suffer from free radicals. This process, known as oxidative stress, is thought to be responsible for a host of diseases, from Alzheimer's disease and cataracts to asthma and cancer. Specialists who study this problem number more than 60 diseases in the genesis of which free radical damage to body cells plays an active role.

According to scientists, about 1 trillion free radicals are formed per day in one cell of the body as by-products of normal life processes. But wise nature has put into the body a special antioxidant system that neutralizes free radicals and prevents them from exerting their destructive effect. An important component of this system is a special enzyme - superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Unfortunately, with age, the reparative capacity of this system decreases, and as we age, more free radicals form in it, and damage begins to accumulate. The process of formation of free radicals also spurs more and more changing for the worse state of the environment.

The destructive effect of excessive concentrations of free radicals is manifested in accelerating the aging process of the body, provoking inflammatory processes in muscle, connective and other tissues, and improper functioning of the cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems. Free radicals can damage DNA and disrupt the transmission of hereditary information. Many scientists argue that the accumulation of free radicals and a decrease in the activity of the antioxidant system is one of the main mechanisms of aging in the human body.

Traditional Chinese medicine gui fu di huang wan increases the content of SOD in tissues, increases its activity, protects cells from harmful effects free radicals, slows down the aging process of the body and promotes healthy longevity.

Influence gui fu di huang wan on various organs and systems of the human body

Effect on the nervous system:

pills gui fu di huang wan increase the ability to learn and remember, which decrease with age.

The pills resist an increase in the level of lipid peroxidation in the nervous tissue.

The pills have a protective effect against the ototoxic and nephrotoxic effects of gentamicin. When you receive gui fu di huang wan better test results with evoked brainstem potentials, as well as a lower increase in blood urea nitrogen. This is also supported by histological studies of renal nephrons and auditory cells.

Effect on the immune system:

Studies have shown that pills have a complex stimulating and normalizing effect on the immunity of the human body.

In an experimental model of kidney yang emptiness caused by exposure to hydrocortisone, it was found that the level of cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) in the spleen and thymus decreases, and the level of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) increases. gui fu di huang wan not only reduce the signs of the manifestation of the emptiness of Kidney Yang, but also normalize the ratio of the above nucleotides.

In patients with kidney Yang emptiness, the ratio of lymphocyte subpopulations is disturbed; gui fu di huang wan restore the normal ratio of CD3, CD4, CD8 and T-lymphocytes.

gui fu di huang wan increase complement activity, increase the level of complement fractions C 3 and C 4.

Wang Yu et al. did a very interesting experiment. They used pregnant laboratory mice that were frightened by a cat as a model of "fear hurts the kidneys". As a result, an increased level of interleukin-2 was determined in newborn mice. However, if pregnant mice were treated with gui fu di huang wan, then the level of interleukin-2 in mice was normal.

Similar results were obtained by Wang Miqiu et al. The activity of natural killers in the daughter generation of frightened mice is significantly higher compared to the control group. pills gui fu di huang van return this indicator to normal, but do not affect the next generation in the case of a normal pregnancy.

The destructive effect of radiation and chemotherapy is often the reason for the ineffectiveness of these types of treatment and forcing to interrupt the course of treatment. gui fu di huang wan protect the body from their harmful effects and promote speedy recovery immunity and hematopoietic function in the bone marrow.

Influence on the endocrine system:

Studies by Chinese scientists have shown that Yang emptiness syndrome is accompanied by disorders in the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system. When using pills gui fu di huang wan these changes are reduced or completely disappear.

Usage gui fu di huang wan when taking hydrocortisone, it reduces its harmful side effects, and also prevents the suppression of the function of the adrenal cortex, followed by their atrophy.

Prolong life under hypoxic conditions

Improve the condition in acute myocardial hypoxia

Reduce the incidence of ventricular fibrillation when exposed to chloroform

Delay the onset of arrhythmia when exposed to aconitine

Reduce platelet aggregation

Reduce the decrease in erythrocyte plasticity

Normalize the surface potential of erythrocytes

Influence on lipid and amino acid metabolism:

gui fu di huang wan lower cholesterol and triglycerides, increase the content of high-density lipoproteins.

With cataracts, the content of glutathione in the lens decreases. When you receive gui fu di huang wan the content of glutathione in the lens and blood plasma increased significantly, which indicates the prophylactic effect of the agent against cataracts.

Effect on bones:

gui fu di huang wan accelerate the healing of fractures and the formation of a full bone tissue, and also improve the condition of bone tissue and prevent the development of osteoporosis, which is confirmed by the data of two-element x-ray absorptiometry.

Antimutagenic action:

gui fu di huang wan have an antimutagenic effect and reduce the development of micronucleosis and the exchange of sister chromatids in bone marrow cells caused by exposure to cyclophosphamide.

The strength of the antimutagenic action gui fu di huang wan can be estimated from the following data:

Influencegui fu di huang wan on the mutagenic effect of cyclophosphamide on mouse bone marrow cells:

Pills can be used as a means of preventing cancer.

Slow down the aging process:

gui fu di huang wan(and its components: rhemania, dogwood, cinnamon, peony) significantly increase the activity of superoxide dismutase and reduce the formation of malonaldehyde, while the effect of the pills is stronger than that of rhemania alone.

pills gui fu di huang wan outperform others in this medicines TCM. In support of this, the following data, carried out on laboratory animals, can be cited.

liu wei di huang wan– treatment for kidney yin emptiness

liu wei di huang wan(Rehmannia six-ingredient pill, 六味地黄丸), also called di huang wan(Rehmania Pills, 地黄丸) - described in Qian Yi's treatise "Correct Verses on Medicines and Syndromes in Children" (" Xiao er yao zheng zhi jue, "小儿药证直决") of the Song Dynasty. Qian Yi created these pills based on Zhang Zhongjing jin gui shen qi wan by eliminating cinnamon and aconite from the composition, as well as replacing rhemania roots with processed rhemania roots. He suggested using liu wei di huang wan with “five types of lag” in development in children with timidity and weakness of the Kidneys, loss of voice, non-closure of fontanelles, lack of spirit; shen, pale face and other symptoms. However, the use of this remedy is not limited to the field of pediatrics, gradually the range of use of the medicine expanded, and the pills became the main basic tool of Chinese medicine for the treatment of Kidney Yin deficiency, as well as the emptiness of Kidney and Liver Yin.

Here is how the classic composition is described liu wei di huang wan.

“Processed rhemania roots (crushed with cardamom wine, steamed and dried nine times) 8 liang, dogwood (soaked in wine and fried), dioscorea roots (fried) 4 liang each, peony root bark (washed with wine and lightly fried), white poria ( processed with human milk), chastukha tubers (mixed with lightly salted wine and fried) 3 liana each.

Grind into a fine powder, add rhemania and honey, make pills the size of a utuna fruit. Take 70-80 pills on an empty stomach, drink lightly salted water.

Currently, the remedy is available in the form of honey pills, water concentrated pills, tablets, oral liquid, capsules, granular extract.

Compound:

Recipe scheme:

Action and indications for use:

Hydrates and replenishes Kidney (and Liver) Yin. Used when Kidney (and Liver) Yin is empty, empty fire rising up; aching and weakness in the lower back and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, stuffy ears and hearing loss, night sweats, prospermia, heat emanating from the bones, flushes of heat, heat in the centers of the hands and feet, exhausting thirst, toothache due to empty fire, dry tongue and sore throat, red tongue with little coating, thin rapid pulse.

Scope of the pills liu wei di huang wan extraordinarily wide:

• neurasthenia
• hypertonic disease
• atherosclerosis
• coronary heart disease
• subacute or chronic hepatitis
• cirrhosis of the liver
• pulmonary tuberculosis
• chronic nephritis
• hyperthyroidism
• diabetes
• diabetes insipidus
• functional uterine bleeding
• developmental disorders and retardation in children
• central retinitis
• neuritis of the facial nerve
• early stage of senile cataract
• chronic glaucoma
• climacteric syndrome

Principles and features of the recipe liu wei di huang wan.

1. Three replenishments - three withdrawals ( san bu san se, 三补三泻).

The pills use a large amount of processed rhemania, it is sweet with a rich taste, replenishes Kidney Yin and nourishes Jing and the brain. Sui is the ruler. Dogwood is sour and warm, nourishes the Blood of the Liver, binds the Jing of the Kidneys; Dioscorea replenishes the Spleen and strengthens the Jing - these are dignitaries. Blood is able to turn into Jing, the post-heavenly Qi can nourish the pre-heavenly; these plants help rehmannia moisturize the Kidneys and replenish Jing. Together, these components of the recipe replenish the Liver, Spleen and Kidneys, with the replenishment of the Kidneys being predominant.

Chastukha removes turbidity from the Kidneys, balances and neutralizes the sticky properties of rhemania. Peony is slightly cold and draws excess fire from the Liver. Poriya pumps and removes the dampness of the Spleen, helps Dioscorea to heal the Spleen.

Thus, the pills consist of three replenishing and three excretory components. In general, the replenishing action of the recipe is the main one, and the excretory one is auxiliary. "Three withdrawals" neutralize the sticky, oily properties of the "three replacements", prevent the development of stagnation with a replenishing treatment method. These three output components in the recipe are helpers.

Three replenishing and three withdrawing components liu wei di huang wan:

processed roots of rehania glutinous	replenish kidney yin	removes cloudy dampness, neutralizes the fatty properties of rhenania	tubers of the chastukha orientalis
dogwood fruit pulp (processed)	replenishes liver yin	removes fire-minister from the Liver, balances the warming and astringent action of dogwood	peony root bark
rhizome of Dioscorea opposite	replenishes spleen yin	pumps out the dampness of the Spleen, enhances the healing effect of Dioscorea	sclerotium of poria cocos

2. Combination of replenishment and withdrawal ( bu xie jian shi, 补泻兼施).

As Fei Boxiong wrote in his Discourse on Medical Prescriptions (" And fan lun”, “医方论”): “This recipe not only cures Liver and Kidney deficiency, but also fills and heals the three Yin...”. Rehmannia, dogwood and dioscorea compensate for the Yin deficiency of the three organs - Liver, Spleen and Kidneys, and act on the root of the disease. Chastukha, peony, poria bring empty fire and muddy dampness out of these three organs, affect the top of the disease. Thus, the recipe of pills combines the simultaneous treatment of the root and top, combines replenishment and elimination. There is a withdrawal in the completion, the withdrawal is hidden in the completion. At the same time, “triple replenishment” prevails over “triple elimination”, due to this, replenishment does not create stagnation, and elimination does not damage true Qi; and ultimately the pills have a void-replenishing effect.

2. Mutual help Yin and Yang ( yin yang hu chi, 阴阳互济).

Yin and Yang symbolize opposites. Jing belongs to the category of Yin, with a lack of Jing, Yang is not formed. If Yang is not formed, then pathogenic water spreads throughout the body. Therefore, in the recipe, rhemania protects the storage base ( feng zhe zhi ben, 封蛰之本), and the chastukha eliminates stagnation in waterways and removes pathogenic water. Dioscorea provides a cool replenishment of the upper source of water of the cyclic sign strike, and fresh-tasting poria drains and improves the conductive properties of the upper source of water of the cyclic sign jen. Sour and warm dogwood gathers fire shao yang, moisturizes fluids jue-yin; and the sharp and cold peony purifies the fire shao yang and supports Shaoyang Qi. Thus, the recipe combines stillness and movement, Yin and Yang.

4. Moisturizing and replenishing Kidney yin, a combination of warming replenishment and heat removal ( zi bu shen yin, wen bu yu xie zhe tong shi; 滋补肾阴,温补与泄热同施):

The emptiness of Kidney Yin often leads to the formation of empty heat inside the body, in a severe case, an upward rise of empty heat develops. Therefore, along with rehmannia, dioscorea and dogwood, which carry out a warming replenishment, the composition of the recipe includes a peony, which removes fire from the Liver, and poria with a ditty, which remove water and help remove heat.

5. Simultaneous treatment of several organs - tsang ( do zang jian zhi, (多脏兼治):

The Kidneys store the Jing, the Liver stores the Blood, both organs are in the lower heater. Jing can turn into Blood, Blood can turn into Jing. Such a close relationship between these organs is called in Chinese medicine "the common source of the Liver and Kidneys" ( gan shen tong yuan, 肝肾同源), "common source of jing and blood" ( jing xue tong yuan, 精血同源). Main action liu wei di huang wan is directed to the Kidneys, but at the same time, the rhemania that replenishes the Kidneys is combined with dogwood, which nurtures the Blood of the Liver, due to this, the Blood, which is in abundance, is able to transform into jing.

The kidneys are the pre-heavenly basis, the Spleen is the post-heavenly. The pills contain Dioscorea, which heals the Spleen, which creates an after-heavenly basis for nurturing and strengthening the Kidneys.

Thus, the pills take care of three zang organs at once: replenish the Yin and Jing of the Kidneys, nurture the Liver and heal the Spleen. “This recipe greatly replenishes the three Zang organs – the Liver, Spleen and Kidneys... At the same time, it is neither drying nor cold, and this is precisely the recipe for the Way of Rulers.” (" Cheng fan bian du”, “Simple readings on ready-made recipes”, “成方便读”).

6. A combination of substances that replenish yin, and substances that decant and remove water and dampness; prevention of stagnation and accumulation of water and dampness ( bu yin yao yu shen li shui shi yao tong yong, fang shui shi yong zhi; 补阴药与渗利水湿药同用,防水湿壅滞).

The management of the body's water metabolism by the kidneys is mainly based on the transformation and transformation of Qi occurring in this organ, on the rise of the light and the fall of the cloudy. When replenishing the Kidneys, one should prevent the violation of the lowering of muddy water. If muddy water does not descend, then true water will not rise, the harmony of the rise and fall of this important organ will be disturbed, and the goal of replenishing the Kidneys will not be achieved.

Therefore, when replenishing the Yin of the Kidneys, the addition of a small amount of plants that remove water and decant dampness allows, on the one hand, to take into account the physiological features of the functioning of this water organ-zang, and on the other hand, it allows to have a therapeutic effect on the pathological symptoms caused by the emptiness of the Kidneys. Due to this, the replenishing effect of the entire remedy on the Kidneys can be more fully manifested. These views of the doctors of ancient China are very similar to the concept of glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption of modern Western medicine.

7. Harmony of Yin and Yang ( yin yang pingheng, 阴阳平衡):

The pills harmoniously combine the opposites of Yin and Yang. Replenishment and removal, binding and sliding, cold and heat, nurturing Yin and removing dampness - the combination of these opposite factors allows you to get a single clinical effect. The combination of opposites is not the goal of the recipe, the goal is their unity. The combination of these plants with opposite properties, which are part of the recipe, allows, on the one hand, to have a therapeutic effect on the disease, and on the other hand, eliminates the possible adverse effect of the drug components on the course of the disease. The opposite properties of the components of the recipe both balance each other and stimulate each other, which ultimately forms a single therapeutic effect. And it is precisely this that is the prerequisite for the unity of opposites. If this unity does not exist, then the recipe turns into a disorderly set of components that not only does not have medicinal properties, but on the contrary, it can only worsen the patient's condition.

Influence liu wei di huang wan on various organs and systems of the human body

Effect on the immune system:

The immune system is one of the most important systems of the human body. Decrease or disturbance of the harmony of immunity can cause many various diseases.

Kidney meridian (KD ) Kidney (足少陰腎經, zúshàoyīn shènjīng) - 27 acupuncture points, double, refers to the yin system, the element water. The movement of energy along the centro meridian is fast. Energy comes from the meridian of the bladder and is transferred to the meridian of the pericardium. The period of maximum activity of the meridian of the kidneys is from 17 to 19 hours.

The kidney meridian originates below the little toe, runs to the sole of the foot, and continues to the outer ankle, which it surrounds. Further, it passes along the inner side of the lower limb behind the liver meridian and the spleen meridian. From the back of the thigh, it comes to the lower end of the spine (the chang-qiang point, the 1st point of the ruler's vessel), passes along the spine to the kidneys, from where its branch departs, leading to the bladder.

The other branch originates from the kidney, ascends to the liver, passes through the diaphragm, enters the lungs, and meets the pericardial meridian. Inside the lungs, this branch branches into two parts. The first connects to the heart and spreads inside the chest. The second runs along the neck, ending at the root of the tongue.

The most important diseases: dizziness, tinnitus, spermatorrhea (in Chinese medicine, this means both the expiration of the seed and the violation of potency), shortness of breath, hemoptysis, dry mouth and dry tongue, swelling and pain in the throat, pain in the lower back, edema, constipation , diarrhea, flickering in the eyes, feeling of restlessness V heart. mental disorders(a state of anxiety, agitation), muscle weakness of the lower extremities, a feeling of heat on the foot, pain in the meridian zone, in the back and V lumbar region.

The most common symptoms in diseases corresponding to the meridian of the kidneys:

dizziness, tinnitus, spermatorrhea (in Chinese medicine, this means both the expiration of semen and a violation of potency), shortness of breath, hemoptysis, dry mouth and throat pain, lower back pain, swelling, constipation, diarrhea, flickering in the eyes, feeling restlessness in the heart, mental disorders (a state of anxiety, agitation), muscle weakness of the lower extremities, a feeling of heat on the foot, pain in the meridian zone, in the back and in the lumbar region.

Symptoms of excess kidney meridian energy (yang symptoms):

bloating, swelling, feeling of suffocation; urinating more often at night than during the day; dark brown urine (coffee-colored); unusual surge of energy, the need for vigorous activity.

Symptoms of a lack of energy in the kidney meridian (yin symptoms):

To say that acupuncture technique is correct or that it is incorrect means that correct technique is determined by the diagnosis. The pricking technique should be appropriate to the disease and to the general condition of the patient, consistent with the diagnostic findings. Not prescription points in itself is the ultimate answer to the medical problem. In order for the acupuncture points to provide the desired therapeutic effect, the correct pricking technique must be applied to them.

Renal colic is a severe, sharp pain along the urinary tract on the left and right, usually associated with the movement of stones.

In most cases, colic occurs suddenly and lasts for several minutes. It is barely tolerable and always spreads in the same way: from the kidney (this organ is located much higher than for some reason is commonly thought, under the ribs) goes down to the lumbar region and abdomen, and then passes into the genital area. Actually, this path corresponds to the ureter, through which urine moves from the kidneys to the bladder.

A person writhes in pain, trying in vain to find a position in which it will be easier for him - nothing helps.

Other troubles are added to this: with the intestines - indigestion, vomiting, gases - or more corresponding to the disease itself: a person always experiences the urge to urinate, although he squeezes out literally a few drops of urine, sometimes with an admixture of blood.

Forms and development

All renal colic are similar to each other. After hours of suffering, the patient calms down, only a painful sensation remains, as after a bruise. But, alas, most often the same severe pain begins again, the attack is replaced by an attack, until the culprit of what is happening - the stone - descends into the bladder, and from there it does not come out without causing so much suffering.

In spite of the monstrous pain, it is better to have an attack in its pure form, as a result of which the stone will pass, than a less severe one, when the ureter and upper urinary tract remain deformed, endangering the kidney.

Causes of renal colic and stones

We have already seen that in the vast majority of cases, renal colic owes its appearance to a stone.

Stones form in the renal pelvis, the reservoir of urine. The reasons for their occurrence are different and are not yet completely clear: the patient's urine is overloaded with mineral salts and forms a "scale", as too much hard water in pipes. At first, the stones are very small, more like sand or kidney mud, then the crystals gather together, and in the end, real stones are formed, of various shapes and sizes. Chemical composition stones varies, urolithiasis is calcium, magnesium types. And this is important from the point of view of the choice of treatment methods.

Traditional treatment

With renal colic, they rely mainly on drugs: it is necessary to relieve the pain and force the stone to pass.

The most powerful pain reliever is morphine, but it causes spasms, so that the stone runs the risk of lingering in the ureter due to its contraction. Therefore, it is better to turn to antispastic drugs in any form: tablets, suppositories, injections, especially intravenous ones. Sometimes, in order to stop a terrible, endless attack, the doctor is forced to resort to intravenous infusions.

Surgical intervention is necessary only when the stone is stuck in the ureter for a long time, which threatens the life of the kidney. First, they try to remove it with a probe - this, as a rule, is very difficult.

The use of acupuncture for the treatment of renal colic and stones

When renal colic acupuncture gives brilliant results. Experience shows that the stimulation of points is often much more effective than the most strong medicines. In the practice of many acupuncturists, there have been cases when intravenous infusions did not help the patient, and thanks to several needles, the pain disappeared almost instantly.

points

Two main, two auxiliary.

Main:

• The first is on the back, in three fingers on both sides of the spinal column, at the level of the iliac crest, it is necessary to stimulate from the side where it hurts.

• The second is on the outside of the calf, in the corner formed by the head and body of the tibia.

Auxiliary:

• The first is on the back of the calf, in its very center, in the middle of the calf muscle.

• The second is on the inside of the ankle, two fingers above the calcaneus.

How to influence points?

In an acute attack, the points should be acted upon very vigorously. In these cases, deep massage, needles, or electrical stimulation are used until the pain is completely gone. The Chinese also practice injecting painkillers into these points.

If the stone is “stuck”, it is good to work from the first of the listed points, pressing on it with a finger or a heavier object, such as a hammer to test reflexes, so that the stone comes out.

One of the ancient methods of treatment and healing of the body is acupressure. This practice has become widespread in such eastern countries as China, Korea, Japan, and Mongolia. Many centuries ago, healers of the East paid attention to special places on the body, the impact on which can significantly improve work. internal systems and organs. Later, ideas about them found their scientific confirmation in the studies of scientists. In the process of experimental research, acupuncture points located on the human body were identified, and the basics of their massage were developed.

Today, the treatment of various diseases based on massage effects on bioactive points on the body is a widespread practice in official and traditional medicine. It is based on the following principles:

• implementation of an integrated approach;
• thoroughness and slowness in treatment;
• individual approach to each person.

Knowing where the healing points are located on the human body, and the competent use of their healing properties, helps to get rid of both symptomatic pain (for example, toothache, menstrual pain) and overcome more serious problems. So, knowing how the massage points are located on the back, as a result of applying the course of acupressure, you can get rid of problems with the lower back that have tormented you for years.

The technique of acupressure is quite simple and does not require the use of special equipment and expensive materials. Massage can be used as an independent pre-hospital remedy. medical care and in combination with other treatments. Let us consider in more detail what is acupressure, what is its principle of action and features of application.

Chinese acupressure is one of the types of influence on acupuncture points on the human body.

Acupuncture is healing method, based on the impact on special points located in different areas, and associated with the work of internal organs and systems. It has been scientifically proven that the mechanical impact during the massage of active points helps to release endorphins. These are hormones, the effect of which on the body has a pronounced analgesic effect. Thus, by acting on active points on the body, we "start" the process of self-healing of the body.

Chinese medicine offers several ways to influence points on the body - it can be either a manual (acupressure) massage or the use of acupuncture.

However, in order to properly influence the points to get rid of various diseases, the application of the acupuncture method should be performed exclusively by a qualified specialist who is educated in the field of medicine and physiotherapy. But acupressure, or, as it is also called, is a type of reflexology that is quite affordable for use at home with a sufficient level of preparedness.

The influence on the healing points is carried out with the help of the fingers. This allows you to activate the work of neuroreceptors in the subcutaneous tissue, which, in turn, send an irritating signal to the brain. The reaction to such an irritant when exposed to Chinese points is either a complete cessation of the pain symptom, or its minimization.

An interesting fact: there are more than 750 acupuncture zones on the human body (in another way they are also called “health points”). Chinese medicine knows various points on the human body, or acupressure zones, through which you can overcome health problems and improve the general condition of the body. There are even so-called points of longevity, and it is quite possible that the possession of information about their location explains the secret of longevity of the inhabitants of the East. In addition to the “zone” of longevity, there is also a “point of youth” on the human body, as well as many others, the features of which we will consider below.

However, before trying the healing possibilities of reflexology, you should know that this method of influencing points on the body has a number of contraindications that you need to familiarize yourself with.

Contraindications to acupressure

Chinese point or acupuncture massage is a safe, however, rather serious method of influencing the body.

As a rule, the main indication for the procedure are pains of various kinds:, "female", back pain, as well as chronic diseases, general fatigue of the body. The energy points on the human body, located in different parts of the body, function in such a way that a rash impact on them can cause serious harm. Therefore, we note that the Chinese massage technique, acupuncture, is contraindicated in such conditions and symptoms as:

• tumors or suspected tumors;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• colds or other conditions accompanied by fever;
• cardiovascular diseases, as well as previous strokes or heart attacks;
• mental disorders;
• age younger than 1 or older than 70 years;
• second half of pregnancy in women.

Care should be taken when acting on, which led to a significant deterioration in well-being. In this case, you should not hesitate and self-medicate, but it is better to immediately seek medical help.

A doctor's consultation is also necessary regarding the use of this method in the first half of pregnancy and during menstruation in women.

How to find the right acupuncture points - location map

Chinese acupressure is based on the impact on special acupuncture points, which, as we have already found out, are located in large numbers almost throughout the body. It is thanks to this type of impact, such as pressing on a specific acupuncture, that this massage is called point (acupuncture).

In order to understand how to do acupressure, you need to know what is the scheme according to which the acupuncture of the human body is located.

In general, there are main places where acupuncture points are located on the human body. These include:

• on the back;
• on the fingers and toes;
• on hands;
• on the chest;
• on the neck;
• on the face.

This is interesting: many years of research experience has even made it possible to create a special atlas that clearly and in detail illustrates the places where acupuncture points are located on the human body.

A detailed layout of each acupuncture point on the body allows you to successfully use this method of oriental medicine, for example, during the acupuncture procedure, but for everyone who does not plan to use acupuncture, but simply wants to master the skills of self-massage, it will be enough to know how the main points are located. Therefore, before doing acupressure, you should remember the location desired channels impact, for example, by examining a photo or picture with their schematic layout.

Points for massage have features due to which there is a healing effect on the body:

• low level of electroskin resistance;
• high electrical potential;
• high skin temperature;
• increased level of pain sensitivity;
• high rate of metabolic processes due to accelerated absorption of oxygen.

All this provides high efficiency acupressure, but the types of this procedure may differ and depend on which places are affected. So, it can be, for example, acupressure of the chest, or a type of exposure in which active acupuncture points on the hands and feet are stimulated.

This is interesting: the impact on special zones on the arm allows you to activate the centers responsible for the internal organs, which makes this type of massage useful for complex therapy various diseases.

The points on the hands responsible for these organs are located on the hand, while such points can be found on all fingers, from the thumb to the little finger.

In addition to those discussed above, there are other active points on the body, the massage effect on which helps to improve well-being and the general condition of the body. These can be, for example, points of longevity, so named due to the fact that their stimulation has active influence to the work of many organs and systems at once.

Longevity points can be located on different places our body, for example, Tzu-san-li- the point of longevity on the knee, the impact on which is widely used in acupuncture.

The kidney channel is the channel that is responsible for the happiness of a person from birth to old age. Only if you want to improve the quality of life, you should train and strengthen the kidney channel. The condition of the kidneys is often determined by heredity, transmitted from previous generations.

If the inheritance is not very good, then it is all the more necessary to make an effort. Otherwise, having reached middle age, a person will quickly begin to lose health. The body needs physical exercise, even more hardening is needed for energy channels, as they restore damage done to internal organs and systems.

Internal organs, like parts of a machine that is constantly in use, can wear out. But if you constantly carry out preventive work, clean and lubricate, the life of the mechanism can be extended.

We need to pay attention to 3 active points of the kidney channel - tai si (Ki3), fu liu (Ki7) and yong quan (Ki1). Each of these points is very effective.

acupuncture points.

First, let's talk about tai si. It is located at the top of the inner surface of the ankle, slightly behind, between the Achilles tendon and the ankle. This point is effective in all ailments associated with impaired kidney function - aching in the lumbar region, dizziness, ringing in the ears, hair loss, loosening of teeth, shortness of breath, habitual miscarriages in women and a weakening of sexual function that is of particular concern to men.

I knew a young woman, in her early thirties, who was suffering severely from a condition you wouldn't tell everyone about - urinary incontinence. She could not run, laugh, even cough, because with any physical effort, this trouble occurred.

This woman worked in a foreign company as a manager, she was pretty, but the illness made her tough and withdrawn. She never went to corporate parties, she did not have a man. Colleagues considered her unsociable and preferred to stay away.

For three years she drank Chinese teas, but they were ineffective. I looked at the recipes for decoctions - everything is spelled out correctly, they should strengthen kidney function. But due to weakness and coldness in the spleen and stomach, medicinal substances were blocked in these organs and were not absorbed.

Ten days later, she called me and said that on the eighth day of the procedure, blisters appeared in the area of ​​Shen shu points. Therefore, she was afraid to continue to put cups, and now the Taishi points are so painful that it’s scary to even touch them.

I told her that all of this was evidence that kidney function had improved. Now you can take a short break, let the body harmonize the state itself. Another week has passed. She came to see me happy and inspired. She said that the situation with urinary incontinence has improved dramatically.

Stimulation of the Shen Shu and Tai Xi points is the best way to treat ailments caused by weakness in the kidneys. Especially when the lower back aches - here you will immediately feel the effect. Influencing the kidneys directly, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract, we quickly and directly stimulate the weakened organ.

Now let's move on to the Fu Liu point. Literally translated, this means the resumption of the flow - the flow of blood circulation. It is located 2 cm above the Taishi point. This point is most effective for the treatment of stagnation of blood and inflammation. Therefore, use it for inflammation of the bladder, vaginitis, prostatitis, and also for the treatment of inflammation after a miscarriage (abortion.

It is best to ask an acupuncturist to influence this point. In terms of effectiveness, this is not inferior to the use of luwei dihuangwan, so if you have dry mouth, you are afraid of the heat, you do not sleep well at night, be sure to pay attention to this point.

Yong Quan (Ki1) point on the foot. Since ancient times, it has been believed that if you press this point 100 times before going to bed, you can achieve longevity. Its effectiveness lies in the fact that it stimulates blood flow to the lower extremities, which helps fight hypertension, nosebleeds, headaches, asthma attacks and other manifestations of excessive accumulation of qi and blood in the upper body.

greatest therapeutic effect can be achieved by combining stimulation of this point with drug therapy. For example, when high blood pressure will it be effective to take Wuzhuyu medicinal plant? , Evodia officinalis fruits, grind it into powder, dilute it with vinegar to a slurry state and apply it to the yong quan points on both feet before going to bed, wrap your legs with gauze or a bandage. Approximately 20 hours later, the pressure will begin to decrease, and the effect will last for a long time. In severe cases, you can repeat the procedure several times.

In case of bleeding from the nose, you can apply garlic gruel to the yong quan point: in case of bleeding from the right nostril, apply to the right foot, from the left to the left. The bleeding will stop quickly. This method can also be used to treat chronic rhinitis.

Please note that experts do not recommend stimulating this point with acupuncture. When massaging the point, you should press on it hard enough, until you feel pain. Thus, if there is no obvious pain sensation, or the skin in this place is relaxed, when pressed, the dent remains for a long time, you should not massage the point (this will only weaken the kidneys even more), but you can apply the medicines described above to it.

Massaging Tai Xi and Fu Liu points is very effective, these points can be activated if necessary without any fear. The impact should be started from the point that is more painful, then move on to a less sensitive point.

Points can be used both for the treatment of diseases and for strengthening the body in the absence of diseases. If, simultaneously with the massage of the points, cups are placed on the points of Shen Shu (bladder channel), Guan Yuan (Rn4), Qi Hai (Rn6), then this can be considered as a safe and balanced way to strengthen the whole body. Everyone knows such means to strengthen the kidneys as puddle), gouqi? - Lycium Chinensis), Heche), dongchong xicao (cordyceps)), now you can add to these valuable medicinal herbs wonderful points of tai si (Ki3), fu liu (Ki7) and yong quan (Ki1.

The palms of a person are the entrance to his energy field. The knowledge that there are points on the hand that are responsible for the organs came to us from Ancient China: the inner side is responsible for the front of the body, the back is for the back, the right side of the palm reflects the right side of the body, the left - the left. Doctors have noticed a connection between exposure to them and a person's well-being. This is how acupuncture was born - an effective method of treatment by massaging biologically active points on the body. What are biologically active points These are special places on the hands that are responsible for the functioning of internal organs and the general condition of the body. Their location is chaotic: they are scattered over the entire area of ​​​​the hands at a distance independent of each other. It is simply impossible to see them with the naked eye, but if you start to slowly feel your palm, you will soon find small depressions on it. When you press these pits, as a rule, a person experiences pain or at least discomfort.

These areas are affected in three ways:

• massage;
• acupuncture;
• pressure.

When exposed to a specific biological point, a signal is sent to the brain, and it, in turn, redirects it to the desired organ. It is enough to memorize these places well once, and in the future you yourself will be able to regulate your physical and emotional condition, as well as shoot nervous tension and deal with stress.

According to experts, the main point on the human body responsible for organs and general health is the place located in the center of the palm. If, when you press it, you experience a sharp pain, this means that an energy imbalance has occurred in the body. This indicates possible diseases that are worth checking.

Organ projection

Thanks to the study of bioactive points, it is possible to cure a person from skin diseases, depression and neurosis. And also acupuncture has great success in the fight against various chemical addictions, for example, alcohol. So, the projection of organs in the palm of your hand looks like this:

thumb - heart, lungs, bronchi and liver;

• index - gastrointestinal tract. Massaging this finger can eliminate disorders in this system;
• the middle one is the circulatory system. For dizziness or nausea, massage this phalanx;
• nameless - nervous tension and frustration, stress;
• little finger - small intestine, kidneys.

The benefits of influencing reflex places have been proven by various sources. Doctors say that with the help of acupuncture, you can stop developing viral diseases. If a child has a delay in speech development, such a therapeutic massage will also be useful to him. Also, by applying various techniques in this area, it is possible to reduce weight, normalize hormonal background and metabolism, affecting the work of all internal organs.

Self-massage instructions

Of course, a Chinese massage specialist will bring more benefits, but self-massage can also be of help. positive influence. At home, you can independently massage active points on a person’s hand, the scheme is as follows:

First of all, prepare your hands by carefully rubbing your palms together: they will warm up and the right places will become active.

• After warming up, soften articular cartilage squeezing and unclenching the brushes 15-20 times.
• To stretch the joints, perform the following exercise: weave the fingers of both hands together into a lock and turn your palms away from you, pushing them as far as possible. This should be done slowly, as sudden movements can lead to pain or injury.
• Next, acupressure of each finger is carried out, paying special attention to the necessary places. If pain is felt at the point responsible for the disturbing organ, it is necessary to gently but thoroughly knead it with rubbing movements, gradually increasing the force of pressure.
• Energy palm massage is performed in three directions: from the center to the outside, from the outside to the center and from the center to the wrist.
• Then the wrists themselves are gently rubbed.
• A similar procedure must be performed several times a day for 10-15 minutes. It has no contraindications, so the number of sessions is unlimited. According to experts, it is best to knead the points in the palm of your hand that are responsible for the organs in the morning. This will help wake up dormant organs and improve blood circulation.

When doing a massage to yourself, you need to listen carefully to what you feel: sharp and severe pain when pressed indicates a failure in the organ corresponding to this place. A gentle but constant acupuncture effect on it can miraculously heal. It is important to make movements in a clockwise direction, since it is with such a massage that the energy resources of the body are activated and it enters the active phase.

It is possible that in the near future acupuncture will become the only way of treatment and medicines will disappear from the shelves as unnecessary.

Signs of diseases in the palm of your hand
By the appearance, color and general condition of the skin in the palm of your hand, you can tell about diseases of the internal organs of a person.

Red and yellow indicates liver problems. If only the fingertips are red, then it is possible that there are problems in the gastrointestinal tract. But similar spots at the base of the thumbs signal a malfunction of the reproductive system and its organs. Dark spots on back side talk about the need to pay attention to the gallbladder.

The autonomic nervous system is disturbed if the palms are marbled.

Peeling of the skin warns of beriberi, and specifically, of a lack of vitamins A and D in the body. Large scaly flakes are a sign of a fungal disease.

Ice brushes indicate a violation of peripheral circulation. Conversely, a too hot palm in winter and summer indicates that the liver simply cannot cope with toxins and needs help.

The feeling of goosebumps in the palms is a sign of a malfunction of the endocrine system. Moisture on the hands - hyperfunction of the thyroid gland, dryness and pallor - hypofunction. Even pale colored palms may indicate a lack of hemoglobin in the blood.

Are your fingertips numb, especially your little fingers? There is a problem in the cardiovascular system. The respiratory system is at risk, provided that only the thumbs are numb.

What does the shape of the hand say?

What can tell the shape of the brush itself, from the point of view of Chinese medicine? short fingers of a person indicate his tendency to hypertension and general circulatory disorders. And thin and long fingers betray the emotional sensitivity and weak nervous system of their owner.

Fleshy palms are mainly possessed by people prone to thyroid diseases and metabolic failures.

Miniature pens and fingers indicate that the human autonomic system is too receptive to the outside world. The most common diseases in such people are bronchial asthma, problems with the rectum and hypotension.

Acupuncture and acupuncture points on the arm can help a person get rid of various kinds pain, such as toothache, headache, heart, stomach pain, back pain and many others.

Meridian of the kidney, what is it, relationship and treatment

Taking into account the ancient treatises of Eastern medicine, the kidneys are the custodians of the purest energy, which contains two main elements: essential nutrients and pure energy, which acts as the basis for the growth and development of each individual. It is no secret that after long-term illnesses and serious surgical interventions, he develops a nervous breakdown, apathy, deviations in visual sensations, night sweats, sleep problems and so on. Based on the foundations of Chinese medicine, the missing net energy of the kidneys is believed to be the cause of such conditions. The kidneys exercise control over many systems, and therefore they cannot carry out the necessary processes without clean energy. The kidneys and other organs are very interconnected.

An elastic and at the same time elastic shell indicates that the kidneys are working normally and there is an excess of energy in them. The excess syndrome is also characterized by an unusual surge of energy, a high level of efficiency, determination, internal unrest, and sometimes pain in the sacral, lumbar, etc. Based on the treatises of Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the roots of life.

Some of the cases indicate that the points, which are the meridian of the kidney, are the key to successful treatment of hypertension and hypotension, disorders of the cardiac and vascular systems. It is also worth noting that many points are closely related to the sexual sphere and the adrenal glands. As for the organ orientation of the points, the maximum success was obtained from the so-called acupuncture with kidney failure, dysfunction of the gallbladder, uterus and its appendages, as well as the oral cavity. In addition, the meridian at the kidneys can be used during surgery on the above organs for pain relief through acupuncture. The kidney meridian consists of many BAPs:
