Traditional Chinese medicine emotional health

Emotional changes can directly affect the changes of human viscera. "Su Wen? Yang's theory of liquid fermentation and acid pointed out that if the spirit does not advance, the will will will not be cured, so the disease cannot be cured. Famous doctors have repeatedly advocated it. A good doctor must cure his heart first and then his body? . Therefore, we must strengthen emotional nursing. This is not only helpful for clinical treatment, but also rich? Cause disease must seek its root? The profound meaning.

The method of keeping in good health with emotion in TCM

Empathy

Empathy is to shift attention. "Su Wen? Empathy changes qi theory points out:? In ancient times, the disease was caused by empathy, but it can be wished by you. ，? Wishing you? Therapy is a method to explain the cause of the disease and transfer the patient's spirit, so as to adjust the patient's qi and keep the spirit inside to treat the disease, so it is also called? Empathy becomes anger? . That is to say, through words, actions and other ways of blessing, the patient's enthusiasm can be mobilized, a good mental state can be formed, essence and qi can be transferred, qi and blood can be benefited, and the patient's own ability to remove pathogenic factors can be mobilized. After getting sick, some people tend to focus on the disease, thinking about the disease all day long, and fall into depression, worry and sorrow. For such patients, speech induction can be used to divert the patient's attention, relieve their ideological worries, turn internal pain into external pain, turn heart disease into leg disease, and treat the disease without treatment, which will often receive curative effects without medicine.

phase system is a kind of emotional nursing method to suppress another emotion with one emotion, to dilute or even eliminate bad emotions, so as to maintain a good mental state. Such as "Su Wen? The theory that yin and yang should be like human beings is put forward according to the relationship between the five elements; ? Anger hurts the liver, and sorrow is better than anger; Happiness is sad, fear is better than happiness; Thinking hurts the spleen, and anger overcomes thinking; Sad lungs, joy wins sorrow; Fear of hurting the kidney overcomes fear. Zhu Danxi further proposed; Anger, overcome with worry, and solve with fear; Happy, overcome with fear, and solve with anger; Worry, win with joy, and solve with thinking; Think, overcome it with anger, and solve it with joy; Fear, overcome it with thinking, and solve it with worry; Surprise, overcome it with worry, and solve it with fear; Sadness is overcome by fear and solved by anger. ? In clinical practice, Zhang Zihe created many effective methods and clearly advocated:? Sorrow can cure anger, and it is felt by the words of suffering; Happiness can cure sorrow, and it can be entertained by joking and insulting words; Fear can cure happiness, and the words of forced death are fearful; Anger can cure thinking and touch it with insulting words; Thinking can cure fear, so as to take away the words of his ambition? . The above-mentioned five-element model of winning by emotion is a unique emotional treatment and nursing method in traditional Chinese medicine. Using these methods well will effectively improve the quality of emotional nursing.

Reasoning and enlightening

Through positive reasoning and enlightening, the patient can realize the emotional imbalance of emotion and anger, right? Is life not solid? One of the important factors, and? And its emotions? ，? Have a degree of anger? , is the foundation of longevity, so as to enlighten and guide patients to consciously get rid of anger and reconcile their emotions, but reasoning and enlightenment should also vary from person to person, so as to be targeted, lively, patient and meticulous, analyze the patient's condition with a realistic method, inspire patients to analyze themselves to relieve or alleviate their psychological pressure and adjust their emotions, so as to achieve the purpose of curing emotional diseases. To reason and enlighten, nurses must gain the trust of patients, be sincere and enthusiastic, be sympathetic and responsible to patients, and pay attention to confidentiality of patients' privacy. In this way, they can achieve the goal of reasoning and enlightening, moving with emotion, understanding with reason, taking it as an example and making it clear. So as to change the mental and physical condition of patients.

persuasion and persuasion

through heart-to-heart talk with patients, we should first gain the trust of patients, get close to patients, and find out the real cause of the disease. Empathy changes qi theory points out:? Anyone who wants to see a doctor must ask where he lives and how he feels, so as to follow his wishes? . There are many reasons for emotional illness, and it must be closely related to the patient. Once the cause is removed and the stimulus disappears, the viscera and qi will be coordinated. Therefore, nurses should get along with patients to:? The questioner is not bored, and the patient is not bored? Only in this way can we know in detail the root cause of the disease, the evolution process of the disease development, the emotional state of patients before and after the disease, especially the sharp changes in thoughts and emotions after the disease, and further understand whether the patient's attitude towards the disease is nervous, afraid, fearful or optimistic. Do you have a strong will to overcome the disease, and you can understand the mental state of the patient's family members and their practical difficulties. Only in this way can you effectively do a good job of ideological guidance for the patient, eliminate all kinds of negative factors, establish a good emotional state, and thus receive better treatment results.

Follow the feelings and desires

Obey the patient's will and emotions, and meet their psychosomatic needs. That's it? Do what you want? . In the process of illness, patients often have abnormal emotions. In this regard, it is helpful for their physical and mental health to let their feelings go first and follow their intentions. Therefore, patients' psychological desires should be treated analytically in nursing. If they are reasonable and conditions permit, they should try their best to satisfy their desires or evils, such as creating conditions to change their environment, or expressing sympathy, understanding and support for their ideas. For those false and unrealistic desires, such as thinking, lust, evil thoughts, indulgence and absurdity, it is natural not to indulge them. Instead, it should be handled in good faith and sincerity by persuasion and education. Especially when you are worried about the disease, you can tell the patient about the relevant medical science knowledge, help him to eliminate doubts and lose his ideological burden, and give a warm reception to the newly admitted patients and introduce the environment and its related systems. For serious patients, we should explain to them patiently and try our best to relieve their psychological anxiety and pessimistic disappointment. Patients who have completely lost their ability to live are stressed and worried. Therefore, we should take care of them comprehensively and carefully in life, and at the same time, help them strengthen their confidence and courage in life.

Qigong to adjust their spirits

Qigong exercise is a valuable asset of traditional medicine, which has played an important role in the prevention and treatment of human diseases. In terms of the essence of Qigong, mental adjustment plays a leading role. It emphasizes? Quiet? It is the inhibition process that eliminates internal and external interference, reduces all kinds of stimulating reactions and feelings to the lowest stress, and makes the brain enter a special state. Relying on the protection of this inhibition, the dysfunction of the cerebral cortex caused by excessive excitement can be corrected. The specific method of qigong exercise is to adjust and control the physiological activities in the body with will, and to exercise the positive role of the body with mind, so as to resist the interference of emotional factors. Therefore, qigong exercise is essentially a self-exercise of mental and thinking activities. Therefore, in nursing, it will undoubtedly play an important role in emotional adjustment to guide patients to do qigong exercise according to their illness.

Pathogenesis and Treatment of Emotion

(I) Relationship between Emotion and Health

Emotional activity is generated from viscera essence, which is very close to normal human health.

1. Emotion is normal, and dirty qi is harmonious

Among the seven emotions, moderate happiness is very beneficial to human health. Happiness can adjust the spirit, forget the worries, circulate the camp and health, harmonize qi and blood, promote human life activities, and normal emotional activities can regulate dirty qi, help the healthy and fight evil, and enhance human disease resistance and prevent diseases.

Since emotions are generated from the qi of zang-fu organs, the changes of emotions will in turn have a corresponding influence on the dirty qi. Generally speaking; Harmonious emotions can reach the organs and promote their functional activities. Because:? Qi is expensive and comfortable, but not expensive and depressed. Shu is comfortable and the whole body is smooth, and depression is contrary to the pulse. ("The Red Furnace Litters Snow"), and when normal emotions occur, the dirty air will be cleared up in Shu Da. So as to strengthen the functional activities.

2. Abnormal emotion, internal injury to zang-fu organs

Abnormal emotional changes are extremely harmful to human body. It is not only the main factor that causes diseases, but also an important factor that aggravates diseases. Because emotional activities are generated from the activities of zang-fu organs, the seven emotions are abnormal, which goes beyond the scope of physiological regulation. It will cause dysfunction of zang-fu organs and qi and blood, leading to visceral diseases, such as anger hurting the liver, liking sadness, thinking about hurting the spleen, worrying about the lungs and fearing kidney injury. Therefore, excessive emotions often aggravate the condition. The process of disease is the process of imbalance of Yin, Yang, Qi and blood in human viscera. Because of excessive emotion, it can damage the spirit and qi of viscera, so the yin, Yang, Qi and blood of viscera have no owner. When qi is injured, the viscera, yin and yang, qi and blood will be out of balance. Therefore, in the course of the disease, if there are excessive emotional changes, it will aggravate the disorder of Yin, Yang, Qi and blood in the zang-fu organs and aggravate the condition.

(II) Methods to prevent the seven emotions from causing diseases

To prevent the seven emotions from causing diseases, we must be optimistic, reconcile emotional changes and avoid excessive emotions.

1. Being optimistic, mental optimism is one of the important factors of health and longevity. Optimism can promote human physiological functions and is beneficial to health, so we should use optimism to overcome other negative emotions that are not conducive to human health. People's personalities are different, but no matter what kind of personality, they can gradually cultivate optimistic personality and promote health and longevity through exercise and edification in life. In addition, we should be good at resolving worries and troubles. It is impossible for a person not to encounter worries and troubles in his life. The key is to treat such things correctly, handle them properly and get rid of them in time. The way to get rid of it is to take a step back and think about it, which is actually a method of self-comfort and has a positive effect on relieving troubles. The second is to confide in conversation and eliminate troubles. When your troubles can't be alleviated by retrogression, you should confide in conversation and listen to others' comfort in time to eliminate your troubles. Eliminating troubles and creating a peaceful state of mind is the premise of optimism, which is of great significance for maintaining an optimistic mood.

2. Avoid emotional excesses

Emotional activities are an integral part of human physiological functions. Harmonious emotions generally do not cause diseases, but are beneficial to human physiological activities. Emotions will only become pathogenic factors when they are excessive, which will harm the human body. Therefore, Chinese medicine attaches great importance to emotional changes, and believes that harmonizing emotions and avoiding emotional excesses can prevent and treat emotional diseases.

Happiness and anger are the first of the seven emotions. Happiness is more important than reconciliation, while anger is suitable for abstinence. However, excessive happiness will hurt the mind and consume gas, and moderate happiness will promote the physiological function of human body. Anger is the chief cause of disease, and people are filled with anger, while anger hurts the body. Therefore, predecessors summarized two basic methods to stop and control anger in the process of keeping fit and preventing diseases. One is to control emotions with reason, that is, to overcome emotional impulses with reason, so that anger is not born, and the other is to? Resistant? To cultivate one's nature means to have an open mind, noble sentiments, good self-cultivation, and be able to endure things without being impatient and angry. However, when anger is born and uncontrollable, it should also be vented and revealed in time to avoid depression and illness.

Melancholy and sadness are another kind of emotions harmful to human body. It can damage the spirit, weaken the body's disease resistance, and thus attract pathogenic factors, which should be overcome. In daily life and work, we should pay attention to training ourselves, so that they can acquire a cheerful personality and an optimistic spirit, and overcome the feelings of sadness with optimism.

thinking is one of the seven emotions and a major function of the heart. Moderate thinking can strengthen the heart and brain, which is beneficial and harmless to the human body; However, excessive and improper thinking often does harm to human body, which leads to exhaustion of mind and stagnation of temper, resulting in dizziness, palpitation, insomnia, dreaminess, anorexia, abdominal distension and other symptoms. Therefore, we should pay attention to being appropriate and not too much. Such as: "the key to class repair? What is the key to health care? Think less to support his spirit? That is to warn people to think hard and use their brains, they must be restrained and not excessive. The method of saving thoughts is mainly to pay attention to the use of brain science, to adjust the mind and brain with exercise, and to control the fatigue and brain time. Secondly, we should use reason to control thinking and effectively reduce some unnecessary thinking.

panic is harmful to human body. Panic leads to confusion of qi, while fear leads to depression of qi. Panic can lead to restless mind and unstable kidney qi, resulting in palpitation, coldness, insomnia, incontinence of defecation and even abnormal expression. People's fear of sudden death is even more harmful to human body, which can make human body's qi disorder, blood gas disorder, yin and yang failure, resulting in serious illness and even life-threatening. It can be seen that panic is one of the important factors of emotional illness, so we should pay attention to prevention and avoidance in health preservation and disease prevention. Ways to prevent panic and fear: First, consciously exercise yourself and cultivate a brave and strong character to prevent panic and illness. The second is to avoid contact with factors and environments that are easy to cause panic, so as to prevent panic.
