Chinese medicine fortune-telling visits fortune-teller.

Speaking of "hand consultation", some people naturally associate it with "fortune telling" in form. In fact, the purpose and method are completely different. The latter is to judge the essence and quality of things by observing their appearances, and this sense of "physiognomy" is an integral part of Chinese and western cultures, while the former is a method of diagnosing diseases developed on this basis.

As early as Huangdi Neijing, it was recorded that "knowing the five internal organs means knowing the disease". That is to say, by observing people's external manifestations, we can know which viscera is sick, and we can further judge what disease it is suffering from. This is because the changes of qi and blood in human organs are bound to be reflected on the body surface. Hand diagnosis is no exception. Hand diagnosis is a method that doctors use their own senses (vision, touch, etc.) for diagnosis. ) In the absence of other auxiliary devices, observe the signs on your hands purposefully, so as to understand the health status of the human body and draw the conclusion of TCM syndrome differentiation or western medicine diagnosis.

Humans know nature, and more than 80% of the information is obtained through vision. Whether it is "looking, touching, knocking, listening and smelling" in western medicine or "looking, smelling, asking and cutting" in traditional Chinese medicine, its "looking" and "looking" are in the first place. Even if modern instruments are used for inspection, most of them are converted into visual range to assist diagnosis by appropriate means. So now refers to the hand diagnosis mainly refers to the hand diagnosis.

After years of clinical observation, hand color diagnosis is established, which is a special diagnosis and treatment method for doctors to systematically and purposefully observe the gas, color and shape of one or both hands of patients with normal vision in order to understand the health status of the other side. This method combines the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine with modern medical knowledge, and has a unique diagnostic method and systematic dialectical cognitive theory. Hand diagnosis of color morphology has the characteristics of simple and intuitive observation, non-injury, economy and practicality, and advanced diagnosis. Knowing so many advantages, how should we collect palm information? Generally speaking, there are two aspects, namely "bit" and "phase", and there is an order between them. "Position" is the position, and the internal organs are in the reflex zone of the hand. After finding the right position, look at the "phase". The so-called "phase" is the change of color in position.

We specially selected the signs of hand diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, laryngitis, bronchitis and tuberculosis to explain.

bronchitis

The hand examination position of trachea and bronchus in the reflex zone is a line on the dividing line of ring finger and little finger of palm and above the emotional line.

Typical symptoms Acute bronchitis is acute inflammation of trachea and bronchus caused by virus, bacterial infection or physical and chemical stimulation, characterized by cough and retrosternal pain. When chronic bronchitis attacks, the symptoms of ordinary patients are not serious, mainly cough, expectoration and other symptoms, especially in the morning. Phlegm is white mucus foam, sticky and difficult to cough up.

Hand diagnosis signs of specific diseases Acute bronchitis: There are floating, pale white spots on the hand diagnosis parts of trachea and bronchus, which are light in color and empty. Patients with severe symptoms may have thick white spots, bright spots, red and white spots, reddish spots or flushing in their trachea and bronchus. The hand sign of acute bronchitis often appears at the same time as the superficial leukoplakia of the nose, mouth and pharynx. Chronic bronchitis: The skin texture in the hand examination area of trachea and bronchus becomes coarse, thick and yellow, with dark brown and protruding spots, and the protruding area is relatively large, sometimes even the whole bronchial area is protruding. Acute attack of chronic bronchitis, the above-mentioned hand signs, occasionally white or flush red, but not too heavy, easy to be covered by yellow.

Examination items People who have signs of inflammation in the hand-examined parts of trachea and bronchus should go to the hospital for routine blood examination and chest X-ray fluoroscopy.

pharyngolaryngitis

The throat reflex area of hand diagnosis is above the intersection of the middle finger perpendicular bisector and the palm emotional line.

Typical symptoms pharyngitis and laryngitis often occur at the same time. The patients mainly have symptoms such as dry throat, itching, foreign body sensation and pain.

Hand signs of specific diseases There are white or gray spots on the throat of patients with acute pharyngitis and laryngitis, which are relatively scattered; Patients with chronic pharyngitis and laryngitis have raised yellow or dark red spots on the throat by hand examination; Acute attack of chronic pharyngitis, the patient's throat is yellow with white or red spots in the middle.

allergic rhinitis

The hand detection part of the nose in the hand detection reflection area is slightly lower than the midpoint of the boundary line between the middle finger and the palm.

The typical symptom of allergic rhinitis is allergic inflammation of the nose. The patient has a sudden onset due to contact with allergens and can quickly return to normal. Its typical symptoms are itchy nose, sneezing, runny nose and stuffy nose.

The hand sign of allergic rhinitis with specific symptoms is the blue spot on the nose hand sign. Seasonal allergic rhinitis is above blue with white or red spots; Perennial allergic rhinitis is dark blue.

tuberculosis

Hand-examination of the lung in the reflex zone is on both sides of the hand-examination site of trachea and bronchus, that is, on both sides of the boundary line between the ring finger and the little finger, above the emotional line.

The typical symptoms of tuberculosis are usually asymptomatic in the early stage or mild lesions. Patients with high activity or severe lesions mainly show symptoms such as fever, night sweats, fatigue, loss of appetite, expectoration and chest pain.

Signs of hand examination of specific diseases There are one or more white round or oval spots with clear edges in the hand examination part of the lung, which is generally the early stage of tuberculosis; The spots are gray or red and white, generally active tuberculosis; If there is a gray round area in the stain, it means that the tuberculosis has formed a cavity; There are old, orange, calluses, round or oval protrusions, suggesting tuberculosis calcification.

People with signs of tuberculosis in the hand-examined part of the lung should go to the hospital for sputum, blood routine, ESR, old tuberculin test and chest X-ray. What needs to be said is that watching hands is only part of seeing a doctor. If TCM syndrome differentiation can be carried out, it is necessary to combine other contents of seeing a doctor with the contents of "smell", "question" and "pulse", so that the accuracy will be higher.
