How do Chinese medicine practitioners recognize the location of internal organs when identifying illnesses?

Light identification without pulse there know the visceral disease location.

The eight guidelines of "look, smell, ask and treat", rationale, method, prescription and medicine are indispensable.

What is inside must be outside.

It means that the disease inside the human body, will be outside the human body to reveal the characteristic performance, for example, you have a toothache, you cover the cheeks, you have a foot pain, you suffer from foot will not dare to force, walking is not flat, these are all very obvious performance. Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years, and the people have passed down their experiences, and the doctors have summarized and passed down their experiences.

For example, experienced melon farmers, according to the external performance of the watermelon, by looking, touching, patting, you can analyze the watermelon, whether it is raw or ripe, sand or no sand, and even how ripe the watermelon. In fact, this is also the performance of the internal must be shaped in the external.



Visceral system

Chinese medicine is based on the five elements of yin and yang, which are gold, wood, water, fire, earth

The five organs with the five elements are the lungs mastering gold, the liver mastering wood, the heart mastering fire, the spleen mastering earth, and the kidneys mastering water.

Chinese medicine also connects all parts of the body, as well as the natural and five viscera

For example, the Liver is the main wood, in the body it is but, in the will it is anger, the Liver opens the orifices to the eyes, the Liver and the gallbladder are mutually exclusive, in the fluids it is tears, in the five flavors it is acid, in the five directions it is east, in the five colors it is green, in the morbidity it is shock, in the five animals it is the chickens, in the five grains it is the wheat, in the four seasons it is spring, in the wood it is the yearly star, in the five tones it is the main character, in the numbers it is the eights, in the claws it is the flowers, in the smell it is the shame.

This is the wood system, or the liver system, if there is a problem with the liver, there will be a reaction in the above parts, or time, such as sleeping, waking up at about one o'clock in the middle of the night, and after three o'clock you can go to sleep again, why? We check, midnight one to three o'clock is the ugly time, is the liver duty time, so that is the liver has a problem, if the treatment of insomnia in the liver to start.

For example, because of anger, so can not eat, Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main anger, the main wood, the spleen and stomach, the main earth, the five elements of mutual restraint, wood and earth, so a angry, liver and wood, spleen and earth, so the patient can not eat, diagnosis and positioning of the treatment came out, the disease in the spleen and stomach, the cause of the liver qi uncomfortable, the treatment is to soothe the liver and qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, help digestion.


The system of the five viscera takes the body through the meridians, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, all strung together, meeting from point to point, and finally reacting to the nature of the viscera.

This is Chinese medicine, you say Chinese medicine science is not scientific? In fact, Western medicine also has a diagnosis, diagnosis, and Chinese medicine, but with the increasingly developed high-tech, people are used to the machine, headaches caused by colds also want to do an MRI, because the machine can create more benefits ah, but if you look at the diagnosis are forgotten, when the conditions do not allow the absence of these machines, you are still considered a doctor? Can't you walk without a crutch?

No more vernacular, feel free to like and add to it

Determination of the location of internal organs is based on the combination of the four diagnostic methods of looking, smelling, questioning and cutting. Looking at the surface to know the inside, to determine the location of the disease by the color of the face, smell, pulse and so on.

For example, the liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys correspond to the five colors green, red, yellow, white and black, and to the five flavors sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty ....... The inches off the feet in the pulse, the left hand corresponds to the heart, liver and kidneys, and the right hand corresponds to the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and so on.

The Spiritual Pivot - Ben Zang says: "If you look at its external response to know its internal organs, you will know what is wrong."

Chinese medicine believes that the human body is an organic whole centered on the five organs and linked by meridians, so the occurrence of disease is often a reflection of the overall lesions in the local.

There are many ways to confirm the location of internal organs, but of course, the accuracy is not the same.

For example, in the "Direct Record of Pediatric Medicines", it is said that "children often have "three deficiencies (lung, spleen and kidney) and two surpluses (heart and liver)", so for pediatric diseases, the lungs, the spleen and the kidneys can be considered for deficiency cases, while the heart and the liver can be considered for solid cases;

Further, according to the main symptomatic manifestations, such as cough and wheezing are not far from the lungs, vomiting and eructation are not far from the stomach, palpitation lies in the heart, and leakage lies in the spleen. Plus the specific manifestations, such as in the chest mostly involving the heart and lungs, the ribcage mostly involving the liver and gallbladder, the epigastric region mostly involving the spleen and stomach, the waist mostly involving the kidneys, and so on;

However, in this case, the connection between the organs must be taken into account, and there are many signs and symptoms that are secondary, such as the Discriminatory Record, which says: "Although the wounds of the husband are in the position of the liver, the liver must be overriding the spleen, and when the spleen is overridden by the liver, the spleen is also able to follow the liver and cause pain." This is the connection between the Liver and the Spleen. The clinical diagnosis should also take this situation into account.

Finally, it is based on the external combination. For example, if you see sores on the tongue, redness and redness of the tongue tip, etc., it is mostly related to the heart; if your eyes are red, swollen and painful, or your vision is dim, it is mostly related to the liver; if your hair is lost and your teeth are shaken, it is mostly related to the kidneys, and so on.

Of course, it may also be used to identify the location of the meridian, such as the foot syncope yin meridian around the yin apparatus, through the abdomen, up the chest and hypochondrium, and thus these parts of the distension and pain, that is certainly to have contact with the foot syncope yin liver meridian. For example, because the Chong, Ren and Du veins start from the uterus and meet with the Belt Vein, which in turn connects to the twelve meridians, the common gynecological disorders of the menstruation, the belt, the fetus, and childbirth are mostly related to the four veins, such as leakage of pregnancy or fetus, or due to the lack of solidity of the Chong Ren, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, or due to the obstruction of the Chong Ren, the premenstrual phase of the menstrual period and epistaxis, or due to the heat of the Chong Ren, the late phase of menstruation and the menstrual period, and the lack of menstruation, and abnormalities of the Belt Vein, and the abortion of the fetus or the damage and constraint of the Belt Vein, and so on. Damage to the Belt Vessel, weakness of constraint, etc.

In short, different disease locations lead to different clinical manifestations. Based on these manifestations, it is possible to confirm the exact location of the disease.

If only one of these methods of recognizing the location of the disease is used, the accuracy of the examination of the evidence will be relatively low. That is why Chinese medicine practitioners have to use the four diagnostic methods and combine multiple information to recognize the specific situation of the patient.

The main means of identification in Chinese medicine is to look, smell, ask and cut, take pulse diagnosis, the mainstream view is that the left inches off the feet on behalf of the heart, liver and kidney water, and the right inches off the feet on behalf of the lungs, spleen, life door fire. According to the pulse, you can probably understand the nature of the disease, i.e., the location of the disease, the nature of the disease. Then according to other diagnosis can accurately determine the surface of the cold, heat and solidity, so as to dispense prescriptions and medicines.

Mon's.

To put it simply, it is to look and smell, and to put it more complexly, it is to look and smell combined with the strength of the nodes of the five elements of the patient's changes.

From the pulse diagnosis, tongue diagnosis, diagnosis, diagnosis can be dialectical internal organs diseases, pulse diagnosis from the inch off the feet of the meridian pulse and determine the tongue diagnosis from the changes in its division, diagnosis to the face of the division of the changes in the situation depends on, and diagnosis by the disease reflected in the situation depends on the question. This is the basic principles of Chinese medicine diagnosis in the Division of external speculation, see the micro-knowledge, to always balance the specific use of change.

The simplest way to identify the five organs: a fat tongue is a qi deficiency, manifested as shortness of breath, the disease in the lungs; a fat tongue with teeth marks is a yang deficiency, manifested as fear of cold, the disease in the spleen, fear of cold, a serious disease in the kidneys; a thin tongue or a thin tongue or a tongue of red tongue is a yin deficiency, manifested as hot flashes in the five hearts, the disease in the kidneys; a tongue that is not fat but pale white, eyelids lips are also white, is a blood deficiency, manifested as weakness, palpitations and other, the disease in the heart; a tongue with localized convexity and unevenness at the two sides of the tongue is a qi stagnation, manifested as swelling and pain in the chest at the two ribs. Qi stagnation, manifesting as fullness and pain in the chest at both ribs, with the liver as the locus of the disease.
