Traditional Chinese medicine believes that controlling emotions is controlling diseases

　　In our lives, there are very few people who can control their emotions well. Controlling our emotions not only prevents us from doing wrong things due to impulse, but also controlling our personal emotions has great benefits for our bodies. Many times, the reason why people get sick is not because of bacterial invasion. The calmer we are in our lives, the better our physical and mental health will be, and we will almost never get sick. This shows that emotional control is very important.

　　1. The mind should be calm and the body should move.

　　Quietness can produce wisdom. Use wisdom to deal with everything instead of using emotions to deal with things, so your health will not be affected. Kinetic energy generates yang, the yang qi is accessible, metabolism is smooth, and the body will be healthy. Although the residents of Changshou Village may not meet modern health standards, they fully meet the requirements of keeping their minds calm and their bodies moving - growing and eating their own food, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

　　2. If you don’t get angry, you won’t get sick.

　　 What is emotion? It is commonly known as "qi". Including self-blame, guilt, entanglement, shame, jealousy, resentment, complaints, etc. You see a lot of people, they complain everywhere, and you don’t like everything you see. Why is the country like this, society like this, and work units like this? When I get home, I complain about how my family is like this. Complaining is a negative emotion.

　　There are nothing more than three mechanisms of human disease:

　　1. The disease occurs due to external wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, and contagious epidemics and diseases. This is called external cause;

　　2. The disease occurs due to endogenous emotions such as joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear, etc. or negative emotions that last for too long. This is called internal cause;

　　3. The disease occurs due to improper diet, disorders, injuries from falls, car accidents, and insects. This is not called internal or external causes.

　　With the affluence of life and the advancement of human science and technology, infectious diseases can be prevented. With the improvement of cultural knowledge, our eating disorders can be prevented. However, there are more and more diseases caused by emotions.

　　People's emotional instability and frequent occurrence of negative emotions are related to physical conditions. If your body itself is somewhat imbalanced, the functions of your organs are somewhat disordered, and the circulation of qi and blood is not good, it will easily produce various negative emotions. When you have emotional problems, sometimes you don't realize it. Therefore, if you want to prevent the slightest signs of illness and avoid getting sick, you must start with your emotions. As the saying goes, if you don't get angry, you won't get sick.

　　3. Don’t go against nature

　　People often say that "covering in spring and freezing in autumn will prevent all diseases." This actually means that in spring and in the morning, insulation is conducive to protecting and promoting the development of Yang Qi. Even clothes are required to be worn appropriately. You should cover them early in spring. If you drink cold water and take a shower with cold water during this period, what is the difference between this and a sudden frost in spring when the seedlings have just been unearthed?

　　In nature, if a plant goes against the laws of nature, it must sprout and grow in winter, and what awaits it is death.

　　4. Only by controlling your emotions can you control your destiny.

　　If you learn to control your emotions, you can control your own destiny. However, if you lack emotional control, there will be constant friction between family members, making going home a hell. Colleagues will be vindictive with each other, making going to work a hell. Not only will you have difficulties in your career and interpersonal relationships, but it will also cause endless troubles to your physical and mental health. It is instinct for people to have emotions, and it is their ability to control emotions.

　　Everyone must understand their instincts and constantly improve their ability to control their emotions. The real doctor is not in the hospital, but in our body; the precious panacea is not in the pharmacy, but also in our body. It just depends on whether we can take advantage of it.

　　5. The real doctor is yourself

　　When people are thirsty, they look for water, and when they are hungry, they look for food. This is the body's self-regulation function at work, and it is also an instinctive reaction for life to exist and continue. The human body's self-regulatory function is the protector of health. This function is innate, given by nature, and is automated and optimally regulated. When a person becomes ill, in the process of treating the disease, doctors usually achieve the therapeutic effect by promoting the recovery and repair of the autoregulatory function.

　　This is not only the thought of traditional Chinese medicine that I relayed, but also the thought of modern medicine. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said 2,500 years ago: "The recovery of disease is through one's own self-healing power, and doctors only assist." This self-healing power is one aspect of what I call autoregulation. So I often remind everyone that the truly brilliant doctor is not in the hospital, but in your body; the most precious panacea is not in the pharmacy, but in your body, it depends on whether you can use it. This is why I emphasize the importance of self-adjusting function.

　　Doctors are not omnipotent, so diseases cannot be treated solely by doctors. Our body itself also has a very good regulating effect. In life, we must be calm and do not lose our temper easily. Being impatient is also very conducive to the occurrence of diseases.
