TCM constitution classification is mainly based on the basic theories of TCM, such as yin and yang, five elements, viscera, essence, qi, blood, body fluid and so on, to determine the differences of different constitutions in the population. Everyone's physical condition is different, but on the whole, it can be divided into nine different constitutions, and the corresponding regimen is provided. At the same time, people are very complex organisms, and the simple constitution is far less than the compound constitution, that is, a person may have two or more physical characteristics, and this compound constitution also needs a compound regimen < P > 1. Peaceful constitution < P > Peaceful constitution is the most stable and healthy constitution! Generally, the reason is good innate endowment and proper aftercare. Peaceful constitution is a state of TCM physical health preservation characterized by moderate posture, rosy complexion, full of energy and strong viscera function. The proportion of people who are peaceful is about 32.75%, which is about one third. There are more men than women, and the older they are, the fewer people have a peaceful constitution.
The common manifestations are moist complexion, dense and shiny hair, bright eyes, bright nose, smooth sense of smell, normal taste, rosy lips, energy, no fatigue, tolerance to cold and heat, peaceful sleep, good appetite, normal stools, reddish tongue, thin and white fur, and pulse and spirit.
health care
1. reasonable diet: the daily diet mainly includes grains, meat and eggs, dairy products, bean products, vegetables and fruits. Pay attention to the collocation of meat dishes and vegetarian dishes to avoid repeated collocation of the same kind of food. "Breakfast should be good, lunch should be full, and dinner should be little" is an ancient health motto. Modern nutritionists advocate that "breakfast accounts for 25% of the whole day, Chinese food accounts for 4%, and dinner accounts for 35%", which is the embodiment of modern people's health preservation.
2. Adequate sleep: One third of a person's life is spent in sleep. Medical research shows that in deep sleep, human cells can repair themselves, especially in the sleep between 1: pm and 3: am, which can eliminate toxins in the body and restore human functions.
Mental balance: Diseases not only affect our bodies, but also pose a threat to our psychology. In the face of diseases, we should treat them with a healthy mind, have confidence in scientific treatment and have confidence in our perseverance. Any depression and anxiety will affect our normal life and our work and rest and diet, so it is very important to face the disease with a healthy mind.
moderate exercise
moderate exercise plays an important role in the metabolism, operation and nutrient absorption of various organs of the body. Generally speaking, a person needs half an hour's exercise every day, and aerobic exercise is better. You can practice Tai Ji Chuan more. Another exercise is walking. Walking for half an hour a day is not tiring, but also can exercise. So now many office workers will get off one stop in advance and walk to the unit, which is very beneficial.
diet conditioning
for peaceful people, health care should be based on diet conditioning rather than medicine, because peaceful people are peaceful in yin and yang, and they don't need medicine to correct the imbalance of yin and yang, but it is easy to destroy the balance of yin and yang if they are supplemented with medicine. For diet conditioning, first of all, we must be "sincere and five flavors." Diet should be light, not partial. Because the five flavors are partial, it will destroy the balance of the body. For example, too much acid hurts the spleen, too salty and sad, too sweet hurts the kidney, too bitter hurts the liver, and too bitter hurts the lungs.
2. The constitution with yang deficiency
is similar to that with cold constitution, characterized by deficiency of yang, cold symptoms, such as fatigue and fear of cold, cold limbs, pale lips, lack of breath and laziness in speaking, weakness in blinking, nocturnal emission in men, loose leucorrhea in women, diarrhea, frequent urination, and sexual desire decline, especially at night. People with yang deficiency constitution are always afraid of cold, their hands and feet are not warm, and they are prone to sweating; Like hot food, lack of energy and more sleep; The urine is long and the stool is thin.
constitution with common manifestations of yang deficiency is characterized by frequent nocturia, frequent urination and clear urine. Water is passed through the intestine when it is drunk, and it is directly urinated out, lacking transpiration and gasification. But I urinate a lot during the day and get up two or three times at night. Nocturnal urine in the elderly is mostly normal aging of yang. If children wet the bed, middle-aged people and young people often urinate at night, it is yang deficiency. Attention should be paid not to eat more cold and frozen food, and to use antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials as little as possible to protect yang.
health care and conditioning
1. People with deficiency of yang often show bad mood, such as those with liver-yang deficiency who are afraid and those with heart-yang deficiency who are sad. Therefore, we should be good at adjusting our feelings and eliminating or reducing the influence of bad emotions. As the saying goes, medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, and food tonic is not as good as god tonic. Although it sounds a bit mysterious, it is not difficult to understand from the basis of "correspondence between form and spirit". "Spirit is to the skeleton, and the country of Judah has a monarch" means that spirit can command the body. In the bleak late autumn and early winter, people who are afraid of the cold and have insufficient yang are more likely to feel the heavy yin in late autumn and feel sad. The following points can help people with yang deficiency spend the cold autumn comfortably: watching comedies, basking in the sun, getting together with friends and family, tasting delicious food, going for an outing, saying good words and soaking in hot springs.
2. This kind of person has poor ability to adapt to the changes of cold and summer, and when it turns cold a little, it is unbearable to feel cold. Therefore, in the cold winter, we should "avoid the cold and warm it", and in the spring and summer, we should pay attention to nourishing the yang. "Never tired of the sun", it has been pointed out that if you can sunbathe 2 to 3 times in summer for 15 to 2 minutes each time, you can greatly improve your ability to adapt to the cold climate in winter. Because the human body yang tends to the body surface in summer, and the pores and pores are open and sparse, people with yang deficiency must not sleep outdoors, and don't let the electric fan blow directly during sleep; In air-conditioned rooms, attention should be paid to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, and at the same time, it should be avoided to stop for a long time under the shade of trees, in water kiosks and in corridors with strong ventilation. If you don't pay attention to the cold protection in summer, you will only try to be quick, which is more likely to cause so-called "wind arthralgia" diseases such as numbness of hands and feet or facial paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine.
3. Yang deficiency constitution is characterized by cold limbs, preferring warmth and fearing coldness, resisting spring and summer but not autumn and winter, and nourishing yang in spring and summer. Xia Tianyi should not be greedy for coolness, and the air conditioning temperature should not be too low, so keep warm. Pay special attention to protecting the back and front abdomen. Girls must pay attention to keep their waist and legs warm. It is best to wear stockings or long pants in air-conditioned rooms to avoid catching cold. Don't let the cool breeze blow directly in summer, and don't stay in the shade for too long. Exercise leads to yang, so it is necessary to strengthen exercise. Don't stay up late, don't stay up after 11 o'clock at night, and it is best to sleep after 1 o'clock in winter.
Moderate exercise
Because "exercise leads to yang", people with yang deficiency should strengthen physical exercise, and persist in it in spring, summer, autumn and winter, once or twice a day. Specific events depend on physical strength, such as yoga, walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, Wuqinxi, Baduanjin, internal exercises, break exercises, ball games and various dance activities, etc., and can also be often used for sunshine and air bath to strengthen Weiyang. In qigong, we insist on doing strength, standing on piles, health care and longevity. Nourishing yin in autumn and winter means not to sweat profusely, and it is most appropriate to keep the amount of exercise slightly sweating. If the hands and feet of yang deficiency are cold at this time, it means that there is less yang in the body, and the yang is not solid, so you can't warm your muscles to resist the invasion of foreign cold pathogens. These methods can be improved and persisted, otherwise it will be very sad in winter. 1. Every night before going to bed, mugwort leaves soak hands and feet. 2. The golden rooster is independent, close your eyes, stand on one foot, and practice slowly if you can't stand. You will feel your feet and calves warm up in 5 minutes. 3. Make up your mind to start jogging, yoga, and Tai Ji Chuan

3. Yin deficiency constitution
is slender, which is mainly manifested by hot hands and feet, dry mouth, dry throat and thirst for cold drinks, dry stool, or flushing when meeting, dry eyes and blurred vision. The adaptability to the external environment is manifested as intolerance to heat and evil, winter and summer, and intolerance to dryness and evil < P > The common manifestations are emaciation, dry mouth, reddish tongue, thready pulse, hot food or staying up late, easy to get angry, sore throat, sore mouth, insomnia, dizziness, irritability, bad temper, dull and dull skin, night sweats, sweating and fever on hands and feet. Yin deficiency constitution can be conditioned by drinking Longjing tea. Although it is not a serious illness or a serious illness, these symptoms have caused great trouble to people with yin deficiency constitution.
health care
1. Yin deficiency means that essence, blood and body fluid are insufficient. If Yin is insufficient, Yang will not be restrained, and Yang will be relatively strong, while Yang will accelerate metabolism and cause excessive consumption of body fluid, resulting in thirst, dryness, constipation and fever. Therefore, the principle of health preservation for people with yin deficiency constitution is mainly to nourish yin and reduce fire, nourish yin and moisten dryness. Always avoid staying up late and eat more light and nourishing food. People with yin deficiency constitution should avoid overwork, stay up late less, adapt to day and night changes and ensure normal sleep time. Avoid excessive mental stress, excessive emotions and dark consumption of yin and blood.
Chinese medicine says that yang should be nourished in spring and summer, and yin should be nourished in autumn and winter, when yin is relatively abundant. At this time, we should take advantage of the trend to nourish our bodies and seize the golden autumn season to nourish yin for ourselves.
2. Calm and nihilistic, mentally restrained, calm, and calm down. People with this constitution are impatient and often upset and irritable, which is the reason why yin deficiency and fire disturb the gods. Therefore, we should follow the methods of "calm and nihility" and "mentally restrained" in Huangdi Neijing. In normal work and life, we should not argue with others for non-principled issues, so as to reduce anger.
Moderate exercise
Only suitable for moderate and small intensity and intermittent physical exercise, you can choose Tai Ji Chuan, Taijijian, Qigong and other traditional fitness programs that combine static and dynamic. If the skin is dry, you can swim more.

4. Blood deficiency constitution
Blood deficiency syndrome refers to the syndrome of systemic weakness caused by insufficient blood in the body and the loss of nourishing limbs, viscera and five senses. However, it should be noted that blood deficiency in Chinese medicine is not the same concept as anemia in western medicine. Blood deficiency may not be anemia, but anemia must exist.
The common manifestations are dizziness, tinnitus, dry eyes, blurred vision, or even night blindness, and pale face. People often say that she looks pale, flustered, insomnia and dreaminess, restless sleep, numbness in her hands and feet, frequent backache, disdainful fingernails, no blood color, dry hair, easy hair loss, thin body, unable to gain weight after eating, and women with less menstrual flow will delay or amenorrhea.
Body-building and conditioning:
1. Spleen and stomach are the source of blood biochemistry. If the diet is moderate and the function of spleen and stomach transport and transformation is normal, blood production will naturally continue. Therefore, the spleen and stomach must be strengthened first to replenish blood, and the source of biochemistry is endless if the spleen and stomach are strong. Commonly used prescriptions include Sijunzi Decoction, Siwu Decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction.
(2) Supplementing qi and generating blood
The material basis of blood is essence, and the promotion of essence into blood is driven by qi. In the Qing Dynasty, Li Zhongzi's "Required Reading for Doctors" said: "Blood and gas are essential, and qi is before blood; Both yin and yang are needed, and nourishing yang is above nourishing yin. " "Treatise on Epidemic Febrile Diseases" said: "Those who are good at blood do not seek tangible blood, but seek intangible qi." "Jing Yue Quan Shu" said: "It is difficult for tangible blood to grow quickly, but intangible qi should be urgently solidified." In clinical medication, according to "qi can generate blood", it is often used in blood tonic drugs, accompanied by qi-invigorating products. Commonly used prescriptions include Guipi Decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction. Commonly used tonics include Astragalus membranaceus, Ginseng, Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Polygonatum sibiricum, Dioscorea opposita, Jujube, etc. Combined with blood-nourishing drugs, such as Angelica sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Colla Corii Asini and Radix Rehmanniae Preparata.
(3) Tonifying kidney and generating blood
Kidney is the innate basis, and it holds essence. Essence includes both innate essence and acquired essence of internal organs. Essence can produce marrow, and marrow can transform blood. At the same time, the vital gate in the kidney is the origin of the original qi, the root of the twelve meridians and the source of biochemistry, and it is also the driving force for warming the heart and promoting blood biochemistry. Therefore, Chinese medicine has the saying that "blood production lies in the kidney". Clinically, to treat blood deficiency, it is necessary to tonify the kidney to replenish essence, and the essence is sufficient, and the blood is flourishing. Commonly used prescriptions are Cuscuta Cuscuta Decoction and Erxiandan. Commonly used kidney tonics include cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, colla cornus Cervi, colla Corii Asini, Colla Plastri Testudinis, Radix Morindae Officinalis, Herba Cynomorii, Herba Epimedii, Fructus Psoraleae, Semen Cuscutae, Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, Cortex Cinnamomi, Polygoni Multiflori Radix, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Fructus Lycii and Placenta Hominis.
(4) Removing blood stasis and generating blood
No matter the nutrient blood transformed by the spleen and stomach or the blood transformed by the essence, it must be released and transmitted through meridians and medullary channels and circulated throughout the body. The essence turns into blood, which is inherent in the nature, but nourished in the day after tomorrow. The subtlety of the valley and the essence of the five zang-fu organs also depend on the transport of meridians, which meet with the blood sea of the chong pulse to nourish the kidney and nourish the bone marrow. If qi and blood stagnate and pulse channels are blocked, bone marrow will be starved and dried up, resulting in blood biochemistry without reason. Commonly used prescriptions include Taohong Siwu Decoction, Buyanghuanwu Decoction, Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction and so on. Commonly used drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Notoginseng Radix, Cortex Moutan, Rhizoma Cyperi, etc.
(5) Detoxification and blood production
Chinese medicine believes that stagnation for a long time can reduce fire regardless of internal injury of seven emotions or external infection of six evils, and fiery qi is the most likely to consume blood and hurt yin. Furthermore, chemical, physical, and biological pathogens sink into the liver and kidney, which can directly cause the lack of essence, resulting in passive blood production. Entrapment of pathogenic toxin or stagnation of fire in seven emotions can also block collaterals and cause blood stasis, so new blood is not born, so it is necessary to clear away heat and detoxify. Commonly used prescriptions include rhinoceros horn Dihuang decoction, Sanhuangshi ointment decoction, Yinchenhao decoction, Wuwei Xiaodu decoction, Qingying decoction, Qingwen Baidu decoction and so on. Commonly used antipyretic drugs include dandelion, honeysuckle, forsythia, Hedyotis diffusa, Radix Isatidis, Folium Isatidis, Rhizoma Coptidis, Scutellariae Radix, Cortex Phellodendri, Herba Violae, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Radix Arnebiae, Herba Artemisiae Scopariae, Herba Scutellariae Barbatae, etc. Clinically, it is mostly used for acute aplastic anemia, acute leukemia and hemolytic anemia.
moderate exercise: take an active part in sports activities, and let the excess yang go out. Swimming exercise is the first choice, in addition, running, martial arts, ball games, etc., can also be selected according to hobbies.

5. Qi-deficiency constitution
Qi-deficiency constitution and Yang-deficiency constitution are similar, and they belong to deficiency constitution in nature. The constitution of yang deficiency is mainly characterized by insufficient heat, deficiency of yang, lack of warmth, and fear of cold. Qi deficiency constitution also has these tendencies of Yang deficiency constitution, but it is mainly reflected in the low function of viscera. Compared with the five internal organs, a person with qi deficiency constitution has weaker lung function and spleen function < P > The common manifestations are dull complexion, hair loss, dry and easily broken hair, often feeling tired, too lazy to talk, often feeling that the qi is not enough, easily panting when taking part in sports, sweating, catching a cold, not easily recovering after illness, and weak menstruation and muscle in women.
health care and conditioning: the constitution of qi deficiency should be supplemented slowly, not steadily. People with qi deficiency constitution are sensitive to the cold and heat of food, so they should eat mild and warm food with tonic effect. Too cold and too warm food are not good for people with qi deficiency constitution, too cold hurts the spleen and stomach, and too hot is easy to get angry.
moderate exercise
people with qi deficiency have low physical fitness, and overwork is easy to consume gas, so it is not suitable for high-intensity exercise. We should adopt low-intensity and multi-frequency exercise methods, appropriately increase the number of exercises, step by step and persevere.
health guidance: invigorating qi and nourishing blood —— both qi and blood are supplemented, and qi circulation leads to blood reaching.
6. Phlegm-dampness constitution
Phlegm-dampness constitution is a common constitution type at present. When the viscera, yin and yang of the human body are out of balance, qi, blood, body fluid are out of balance, and phlegm-dampness is easy to form, it can be considered that this constitution state is phlegm-dampness constitution, which is more common in obese people, or people who are thin but fat now.
The common manifestations are obesity, fat and soft abdomen, greasy facial skin, sweating and sticky, chest tightness, excessive phlegm, pale yellow and dark complexion, slightly floating eyes, easy drowsiness, fat tongue, white greasy or sweet tongue coating, uncomfortable body weight, sweet and sticky appetite, normal or false stool and little or no urine.
