阳气不足时现代人的通病

阳气就是人的生命之气,即元气。黄帝内经中对阳气的描述,称人体中的阳气就像天上的太阳,世界上万物生长皆靠太阳;人若没有了阳气,机体的新陈代谢就会停止,生命就会结束。

人体的一切活动正是依靠这股阳气的推动和温熙,蒸腾于生发功能,才得以让体内的血液流通和运行全身,营养脏腑经络,四肢百骸,肌肉皮毛。正所谓,阳气在人在,阳气五人亡,中医称气血帅。

直观当前现代生活,阳气不足已经成为现代人的通病。空调的广泛使用,屏蔽了自然的温度; 爱美心理的驱使下,女性穿衣服越来越少,薄,透,露肚脐,超短裙纷纷登场。

在寒冷的冬天,吃反季节的清热解暑的西瓜,各种反季节的水果和蔬菜,喝着冰镇的饮料,使用大量性寒的海产品。这些习惯正侵蚀着身体的阳气,损害着身体的健康。

如果阳气得不到呵护,被任意耗损,不仅仅会诱发疾病,严重还会危及生命。

如果您有这些症状,就是阳气不足的表现,就需要把自己的阳气提升,这些不适的症状就会得到缓解并消失。比如容易疲劳,冻肩,经痛,频繁小便,大便经常溏泄,腰酸,抑郁,肥胖,阳痿等等。

中国的传统疗法中的艾灸疗法就是针对于这样的病痛而产生的。

古人发现艾叶可以帮助缓解甚至治愈以上的不适症状。艾叶是生长在光照较为强烈,山峦朝南的阳坡面,又是在每年阳气正处于上升阶段的端午节前后采摘的,是纯阳之品,具有起死回生,温经通络的神奇功效。

古书记载,艾叶苦辛,生温熟热,纯阳之性,能回垂危之阳,通十二经,走三阴,理气血,逐寒湿,暖子宫,以之灸火,能透诸经而除百病。正是由于艾叶主要生长于光照较为强烈,山峦朝南的阳坡面,又是在每年阳气正处于上升阶段的端午节前后采摘收取,所以是纯阳之品,具有起死回生,温经通络的神效。

应该尝试艾灸的10类人

  1. 上班族每天走在电脑前超过八小时,不经常活动,经常腰酸腿困,四肢乏力。这是气滞血瘀的表现,艾灸能疏通血气。
  2. 经常加班熬夜,晚上不睡觉,白天晕沉沉,注意力不集中,脾气也变得糟糕。这是气机壅滞的表现,艾灸可调理气机。
  3. 检查没病,但常感到身体不舒服,心情郁闷。这是气血阻滞,不畅通的表现,艾灸能理气调血,愉悦身心。
  4. 穿着单薄,又暴露在办公室的空调下,最易手脚冰冷,增加患风湿,关节炎等病的可能性。这是寒湿侵体的表现,艾灸可去除寒湿。
  5. 易长青春痘,皱纹,雀斑的人,艾灸可以解决99%的面子问题。
  6. 经常手脚冰凉,习惯性痛经,月经不调等。这是寒,气, 虚皆有的体质。艾灸可以滋阴护阳,呵护女人的身心健康。
  7. 生活压力大的男性,频繁饮酒抽烟,经常腿困腰酸,性生活不和谐,伴有阳痿,早泄。这是肾气虚弱的表现,艾灸可以培补肾气。
  8. 走路吃力,腿抽筋,爬楼梯费劲儿。这是年老体虚,元气不足的表现,艾灸可以填补阳气,使老人身强力壮。
  9. 经常爱生病,时常受感冒,咳嗽,消化不良困扰,这是体质虚弱的表现。艾灸可以提高孩子的免疫力,增强体质。
  10. 没有疾病困扰的人,经常艾灸可以保健养身,达到放未病的养生功效。

每个人都应该做自己健康的主人。世间的疾病千奇百怪,常见病就有几百种,病因却不离其宗。中国传统疗法,找到疾病的本源,从根源治疗。

其中艾灸就是通过给身体的体表一定部位强制性的输入热能,临时提高人体局部温度,从而使身体局部阻滞的部位疏通,从而达到增强免疫力和加速新陈代谢,达到疗养局部,拔出病根,延年益寿的作用。

艾灸是如何达到治病的功效的?

  1. 艾灸在特定的穴位或疼痛部位的体表皮肤,在短时间内提高艾灸点周边及体表的深层温度。可杀灭局部病菌,使用局部堆积的垃圾在高温下发生形态变化,容易排出。如:癣症,脚气,毛囊炎,嘴角炎,中耳炎,青春痘等表皮病的艾灸治疗。艾灸经过燃烧后,高温产生的红外线的能量,杀灭致病菌,能量穿透身体表层,达到经络,并可以沿着经络疏通全身,症状慢慢就消除了,疗效稳定持久。
  2. 艾灸可以达到针所不及之处,艾灸燃烧时的热能由身体的局部穴位,通过经络传输到皮下深层或脏,促进血液循环,修复受损组织,达到治疗的目的。如膝关节的灸疗,在血海,梁丘,阴陵泉,膝阳关等穴位艾灸,热能通过穴位进入经络直达膝关节腔,临时提高长期阴冷的关节腔的温度,杀菌,促进血液循环,修复受损组织,达到治疗关节炎的目的。
  3. 人体组织器官除先天功能不足,外力损伤和老化外,本身一般不会功能衰竭,绝大多数疾病都是气血不足引起的。气血不足首先引起组织器官的代谢功能减缓,致使体内代谢废物的清理排出进程减缓。这些体内废物,也就是垃圾的逐渐积存堵塞经络,填充组织器官,反过来进一步恶化组织器官和经络的运行以及人体气血的生成,疾病即从小小的不适发展成癌症。

中国传统养生重在养气血,治未病,而治病重在清除体内垃圾。体内垃圾的清除靠心血管和经络,因而治病先养气血,再养心血管和肾,这是一个漫长的过程。

艾灸治病最直接,杀菌,消融体内淤积,通经络立竿见影,几乎无副作用。一年中有两个重要的时期可以使用艾灸保养身体,一是三伏期,二是三九天。

三伏期在夏季,在夏季最炎热的27天,此时使用的艾灸保养又称为三伏灸,点击此处了解更多的关于三伏灸的信息。

三九天指的是冬至后的27天里,一年中最寒冷的日子,点击这里了解更多三九灸的信息。

    I started seeing Shirley in September 2024 when I knew I needed to do more to support my health. Shirley is so knowledgeable and is able to pinpoint things that need attention. Things Western Medicine misses. I am happy to report my blood pressure is down and stabilizing from her treatments and tea. I highly recommend Shirley!

  • Shirley has helped me a great deal in improving my health. Being a Chinese from Hong Kong, I always trust TCM. Although I knew about moxa since I was a kid, I had never tried moxibustion before, until I met Shirley. I had encountered a medical issue in the past few years that none of my doctors and specialists could explain (or in their words "never heard of"). I had also tried cupping, Chinese massage and acupuncture. However, only after I started to have moxibustion and Shirley's five elements tea and herbal teas, I have experienced a huge improvement. As a matter of fact, many of the herbal teas that Shirley prescribes are actually very traditional recipes from the ancient Chinese medical records since thousands of years ago, which are commonly accessible online or on hard copies. However, to feel the pulse, check the body condition and then apply the right recipe for the treatment is utmost crucial and Shirley is proved to be able to do so. And I was told today that the official name of the clinic of "One More Cup of Tea" is "SLB Traditional Chinese Therapies" and there are a lot of information under that page. I am going to leave the exact same review under that name so nobody should miss it. Thank you Shirley.

    这是一种神奇的疗术,为我消除了身心的伤痛;一次偶然的机会,在纳耐莫认识了五行养生堂的梁女士,刚开始的一个疗程,是以抱着试试看的态度进行了以艾灸为主的理疗,使我消除了长期腰疼的苦痛;在我坚持做完第二个疗程后,两腋下出现了很多就像杂质的体液,同时全身变得有力,更大的是心情不断好了起来;我做完第三个疗程后,全身无比的轻松,让我真正感触到了身体机能的正常是多么开心的事情;本来我想连续做上几个疗程,但是,因为工作出差原因不得不暂停;我为遇到一种神奇的中国传统疗术而欣慰,我更为遇到梁女士的传统疗法而开心;希望中国传统疗法驱除民众的苦痛!愿此神奇的中国传统疗术康复更多的世间广众!

    Prior to treatment I had chronic pain from spinal stenosis however, after a couple weeks of taking the tea that was specifically made for me I was in far less pain and discomfort. The results of the treatment were far greater than expected. I highly recommend!!

    I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Shirley. I met with Shirley in September and on that day she was able to assess my pulse with precision and identify where improvements could be made to support balancing my body. During my initial consultation, Shirley designed a three month treatment plan for me. At each appointment Shirley thoroughly assessed my progress as we worked in partnership to bring my body into balance. Shirley excels at Moxibustion and Tui Na, two therapies that I experienced during my treatment plan and I also followed all of the “homework” that she assigned me. I am very happy with the positive results that I experienced and again I would highly recommended booking a consultation with Shirley.

  • The amazing Shirley Brown goes the extra mile to help you to heal. Her initial assessment and history taking is incredibly thorough. Not only does she assess your medical and surgical history but also goes into indepth assessment of your usual diet .eating .sleeping patterns and your exercise routines . Shirley then can treat and heal you so much more profoundly . My first treatment with Shirley was with Moxinustion . Shirley used this to heal imbalances and to restore my energy system and then could prescribe what was needed to make me heal. I went for my first appointment feeling that I could not be healed or would have to wait months if not years to see a specialist. After seeing Shirley I left feeling lighter stronger and with definitely less pain and actual optimism and knew that I had been really cared for . I have been going to see Shirley for special teas she makes depending on what organ in my body needs the most attention . Shirley is a truly gifted healer and her knowledge of Chinese medicine is profound . Shirley truly excels in her profession.

    My opinion is that the teas available at this store are the best natural medicine available in BC. I was amazed at the age of 75 how energized I felt after using Shirley's teas.
