A study on the stagnation of heat and depression of heart
"Stagnation"is a state of stagnation and obstruction.Stagnation of heat is a state of heat,which means the heat is closed in the body.Based on the theoretical origin and significance of"stagnation of heat",this paper discusses the relationship between"stagnation of heat"and"heart depression".In the traditional theory of traditional Chinese medicine,the heart,blood and spirit are interrelated.The heart governs the blood production and circulation,and blood can nourish the spirit.According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,"The heart controls spirit",and blood is the offer of the spirit,which is the main material basis of the body's mental activities;and the spirit can also regulate the generation and circulation of blood around the body.The connection between the heart and the fire-heat-evil is very close.Heart disease can be caused by the fire-heat-evil,and the fire-heat-evil can also disturb the heart.Depression is in the heart.When the abnormal rise and fall of Qi(气)leads to the tendency of stagnation of heat,the clinical condition of patients with heart diseases changes significantly.Stagnation of heat can be caused by the excessiveness or failure of the five movements and six Qi,or the external attack of wind and cold,resulting in uncomfortable heart and Qi,and the evil heat is depressed inside,affecting the heart,blood,and spirit,thus causing disease;emotional internal injury,diet bias,loss of balance between work and rest,and various pathological products are also the causes of the heart disease of"depressive heat".The poor operation of Qi and blood leads to the heat in the body.The situation is the basic pathological mechanism of the"depressive fever"of the heart disease,and its manifestations are the peculiarities of the loss of"thoroughfare",the loss of"brightness",and the loss of"descending".Combined with the eti-ology and pathogenesis of the heart disease"depressive fever",and the characteristics and typical cases of the representative prescriptions of"de-pression and fever",such as Shengjiang San(升降散),Zhizichi decoction(栀子豉汤),and Sini San(四逆散),it is explained that the heart disease caused by"heart depression"needs to"diverge"its"depression"and disperse its evil Qi,it is necessary to examine the causes and give treatment,treat it according to the situation,take advantage of the situation,and obtain the harmony of Qi smoothly,so as to restore the body to the physiological state of"stagnation is relieved and Qi functions normally".
