What is "qi stagnation"? After qi stagnation, the body often appears depressed, painful and bloated? How to adjust?

In traditional medicine, there are many descriptions about "Qi". For example, we often mention "qi deficiency", "atmospheric subsidence" and "qi stagnation" and so on.

Next, let's talk about it, whether it's young people or old people. A problem that everyone may encounter from time to time is "qi stagnation".

what is qi stagnation?

Qi, in the view of traditional medicine, is an energy of life. The reason why we can carry out all kinds of life activities normally is that all these energy substances are running endlessly. Therefore, when the flow and operation of these energy substances stagnate. So, to put it simply, it is qi stagnation. At this time, the body will show symptoms such as body pain, chest pain, fullness under the ribs, frequent discomfort in the stomach, and back pain.

however, if you go for a physical examination at this time. You will find that all the indicators are normal. In fact, the above manifestations are qi stagnation syndrome.

what will happen after qi stagnation?

if we understand it simply, we can sum it up into three words: depression, pain and bloating.

First of all, it is "depression":

The depression here refers to the depressed mood. For example, I am usually inexplicably unhappy, and I always think the worst of everything. When looking at anything, there are also some negative emotions. For example, pessimism, disgust, indifference and so on.

However, all these problems exist because of qi stagnation and liver depression. Because our liver controls emotions. If the liver qi is stagnant, it will directly lead to our unhappiness. Therefore, what is intuitively expressed is depression and unhappiness.

The second is "pain":

The pain here refers to the pain of limbs. That is to say, our body may have pain with uncertain pain at any time. For example, limb pain, low back pain, and rib pain and so on. Among them, especially the pain in the ribs and back is more obvious.

of course, this kind of pain is not severe, and the position will change at any time, and the degree of pain is sometimes light and sometimes heavy. In fact, this is the performance of obstruction after qi stagnation.

Finally, there is "bloating":

The bloating here refers to our body, which has a feeling of bloating. This kind of bloating sensation generally occurs in the chest bloating, epigastric bloating, intestinal bloating and hypochondriac bloating. If you are in a hurry to get angry, or when you are unhappy, your stomach will easily swell and ring. I always feel like there is gas running back and forth in my intestines, and I especially want to fart and exhaust. Moreover, after exhausting, I feel much better. At the same time, there may be continuous belching, bloating and burping. Others, even often sigh.

However, this kind of sigh is not a sad sigh. But sigh, and your body will feel much better. And these are almost all manifestations of stagnation of qi.

The above three manifestations are generally more common in patients with hepatobiliary diseases and digestive system diseases. Even if there is no organic disease, such as younger patients, it will be easy to do so when faced with many social, life pressures and worries; This is especially true for the elderly.

generally speaking, the above performances. Being in a bad mood is the main trigger of this symptom.

how to deal with such problems?

Before treatment, any symptoms should be differentiated in detail. Of course, you can also use some products that promote qi circulation and soothe the liver for daily conditioning. For example, take Bupleurum, fried Fructus Aurantii, prepared Rhizoma Cyperi, Radix Paeoniae Alba, dried tangerine peel, etc. Because it can promote qi circulation, soothe the liver, relieve depression and relieve pain.
