In recent years, both beauty parlors, massage and health food have advertised the theme of detoxification and health preservation, and developed the slogan of promoting lymphatic detoxification, which is simple and easy to understand. What is detoxification? What kind of poison is discharged? What is the method of detoxification in Chinese medicine? And how to detox safely?
The substances after the human body’s metabolism are mainly excreted through the urethra, anus and skin. Therefore, the method of detoxification in traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses medicine or acupuncture to heal acupoints, and adjusts qi and blood to increase urine and urine, sweat and vomiting to achieve the purpose of detoxification; the sweat method has the effect of relieving the exterior and expelling evil spirits. Sweat holes are used to excrete the body; while vomiting directly discharges harmful substances from the stomach through the esophagus and throat. Commonly used detoxification drugs include rhubarb, Yuanming powder, Alisma, psyllium, poria cocos, ephedra, and salt.
After physical therapy, in addition to the change in the color of the water surface, other revelations may appear on the body on the day, including:
- Sleep Improvement: poor metabolism of liver function
- Insomnia: pay attention to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (can go for detection)
- Weak Legs and Limbs: high blood sugar or blood pressure, poor spleen and stomach
- Itching on the Body, Itching All over the Body: a lot of blood garbage, high humidity
- Poor Appetite: potential hidden damage to the gastric mucosa
- White Spots on the Skin: high uric acid, gout tendency
- Itchy Feet: slow peripheral nerve circulation and slow blood return (more in winter)
- No Taste: heart fire, spleen and stomach deficiency, soaked for a period of time and relieved
- Armpit Pain: pay attention to the breast
Modern Chinese medicine uses this principle of electrolytic detoxification as a purging method other than medicine. The concept of balance and health preservation is to detoxify first and then replenish the body, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting human health. Only by expelling toxins from the body first can it be beneficial to the absorption of nutrition and health care products and achieve twice the result with half the effort. The detoxification process does not involve the use of any drugs, so there is no risk of liver and kidney damage. It is relatively safe for those who take Chinese and Western medicines for a long time. Before undergoing electrolytic detoxification therapy, it is best to consult a physician to see if the physique at that time is suitable.
