The production of body fluid
The production of body fluid originates from food and water. After being received, decomposed and digested by the stomach, the subtle parts are transmitted down to the small intestine. Through the small intestine, the clear and turbid parts are separated, and some of them are absorbed. The nutritious water and grain essence is transported upward to the spleen, and the residue is transmitted down to the large intestine. The large intestine absorbs the residual water in the residue and forms feces, which is excreted from the anus. The distribution of body fluid is mainly completed by the spleen, lungs, kidneys and triple burner. The spleen transports body fluids from the gastrointestinal tract to the lungs. The lungs, through the function of promoting, expelling and descending, transport the body fluids throughout the body through the triple burner channels, reaching the skin outwards and injecting internal organs to moisturize and nourish various tissues, organs, limbs and bones. . The metabolic wastes return to the bladder. After being vaporized by the kidneys, the clear part with nutritional value in the metabolic wastes rises to the lungs and is distributed throughout the body. The turbid part with no nutritional value in the metabolic wastes is transferred from the bladder to urine. Sweat pores are used to expel sweat from the body, remove the old and absorb the new, and maintain the relative balance of human body fluids. The metabolic process of body fluid is completed through the cooperation of the lungs, spleen, kidneys, bladder, triple burner and other internal organs. As stated in "Suwen·Meridians": "Drinking enters the stomach, overflows the essence, and flows upward to the spleen and spleen." The essence is dispersed, returns to the lungs at the top, regulates the water channels, and is transported to the bladder at the bottom. The water essence is distributed in four directions, and the five meridians travel in parallel." This briefly summarizes the entire metabolic process of the generation, distribution, and excretion of body fluids.
Physiological functions of body fluid
Body fluid has the functions of moisturizing and nourishing. Body fluid is mainly water and has a strong moisturizing effect; it contains a variety of nutrients and has nutritional functions. Jin is relatively clear and thin, containing more water, and its moisturizing effect is greater than liquid; liquid is thicker, rich in nutrients, and its nutritional effect is greater than that of body fluid. The body fluid distributed on the body surface nourishes the skin, warms and nourishes the muscles, making the muscles plump and the hair shiny; the body fluid in the body nourishes the internal organs and maintains the normal functions of each organ; the body fluid injected into the orifices moisturizes the mouth, eyes, nose and other nine orifices ; The body fluid that flows into the joints can smooth the joints; the body fluid that penetrates into the bone marrow can nourish the bone marrow and brain marrow; the body fluid that enters the blood vessels becomes an important part of the blood, making the blood sufficient and circulating continuously. Under normal circumstances, the human body's yin and yang are in relative balance. Body fluid, as part of yin essence, has the function of regulating the balance of yin and yang. Whether the yin of the internal organs is normal or not is inseparable from the rise and fall of body fluids. According to changes in the body and the environment, the human body maintains a normal state through self-stabilizing regulation of body fluids to adapt to changes in the outside world. For example, when it is cold, the sweat pores of the skin close and sweat cannot come out, which causes the bladder to descend and increase urination; in summer and hot seasons, when sweating is excessive, body fluids decrease and descend, and urination also decreases. When the body loses water, drink water to increase the body fluid. This regulates body fluids and maintains normal life activities of the human body.
Main Symptoms
Insufficient body fluid is also called body fluid deficiency and body fluid injury. It refers to a syndrome characterized by dryness that occurs due to a lack of body fluid and the whole body or certain organs and tissues lose their moistening and nourishing effects. Since insufficient body fluid often results in dryness, it also belongs to the category of internal dryness syndrome. The formation of body fluid deficiency is caused by both insufficient production and excessive loss. Weakness of the spleen and stomach, inability to transport and transform body fluids, may result in reduced production of body fluids, or may be caused by drinking too little water, deficiency of internal organs, and insufficient production of body fluids; or may be caused by burning of body fluids due to dryness and heat, or may be caused by sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, and blood loss. symptoms.
Main clinical manifestations: thirsty throat, burnt and cracked lips, dry and dull skin, dry stool, red tongue with little fluid, and thready pulse.
