Multi pronged approach to fight against sub-health

lying in bed with no sense of sleep

I felt sleepy again when I got up.

Recently, a survey conducted by the Ministry of health of China on office workers in ten major cities showed that 49% of the office workers were in a “sub-health” state. “Sub-health” refers to the marginal state of the human body between health and disease. It is caused by the intersection of physiological, psychological and social factors, such as low back and leg pain, heavy psychological pressure, insomnia and other uncomfortable symptoms. The resulting “chronic fatigue syndrome” is the most obvious. There are also other diseases such as neck and leg pain, obesity and elderly diseases.

CEN is an editor of a famous media in Guangzhou. Her daily work can only be described as “nervous”. Although I am responsible for the collection and editing planning of a department every day, the workload is not very large, but I need to do topic selection planning, editing, and even the operation of the whole department. She said that going to work is not an eight hour or ten hour day, but a 24-hour day. In addition to sleeping, even eating and even watching TV seem like going to work. I recognize that the work is hard, and Ms. Cen still has to face family problems. “I’m tired at work, and even more tired after work.”

She often gets up the next morning after a night’s sleep, and still feels pain in her limbs. People are always drowsy, but when she lies in bed, she has no sleep at all. On the bus to work in the community, there are many people like her who are drowsy and nodding to fish while sitting in the bus. When you get to the office, you have to take an elevator. When you climb several flights of stairs, your heart beats faster and your feet become soft.

Doing everything makes Ms. Cen feel that no minute can make her relaxed. All kinds of pressures accumulate on her, which makes her eat poorly, wake up in the middle of the night, and lose weight day by day.

the limbs are sound, and no disease can be detected.

I feel uncomfortable all over the body.

In fact, in the first “sub-health” clinic in Guangzhou beside the Guangzhou racecourse, white-collar workers like Ms. Cen are not uncommon. The reporter had a close contact with Miss Cen, who came to consult. She was not too haggard in her late 30s. She could not see any anxiety and anxiety at all, but her hair was dry and lusterless, and her eyes showed that she was worried. She told the doctor that the biggest trouble now was that she no longer had a dreamless night’s sleep. The situation of waking up and often having nightmares in more than a year’s sleep made her miserable. She had no choice but to eat as much as she could with the help of dietary conditioning. She didn’t like to drink milk in the past. Now she forces herself to drink 500ml every day. In the past, she pursued simplicity with three meals a day. Now she tries to eat meat, vegetables and cereals every day in accordance with the amount and proportion recommended by the nutrition society. But after more than a month of persistence, there was no improvement in my extremely tired state. After eating American ginseng soup recommended by my friend, which can calm my nerves, I had allergic reactions all over my body. Later, I changed to drinking royal jelly, but endocrine disorders led to menstrual disorders. Now I don’t know what to do.

Miss Cen suffers from the typical “chronic fatigue syndrome”, which is a manifestation of “sub-health”. At present, many white-collar workers suffer from this disease due to work pressure and other reasons. On the surface, this group of people have healthy limbs, and some of them can’t find any serious diseases even after physical examination, but they feel tired every day even if they feel uncomfortable all over the body.

Many people have a misunderstanding that once people feel tired, they should eat something to make up for it. In fact, toning for symptoms like Ms. Cen can not solve the fundamental problem. Dr. Lin said that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, her chronic fatigue syndrome is mainly caused by stagnation of liver qi, and to improve it, it is necessary to soothe the liver. Because mental tension will affect the functional operation of the liver, the liver belongs to “wood” in the five elements, and the spleen and stomach belong to “Earth”. If the liver Qi is too rich, the liver wood blocks the spleen and earth, it will affect the gastrointestinal function of people. At this time, drinking more milk is not easy to absorb, but will increase the burden of the intestines and stomach. Because Qi is accumulated in the liver, when the function of the spleen and stomach is blocked, the biochemical deficiency of Qi and blood will easily make people feel tired, Therefore, the treatment must first relieve liver Qi before strengthening the Constitution by regulating and supplementing.

different people use different packages

traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture medicinal diet health preservation are carried out at the same time

The treatment plan includes taking Chinese patent medicine, medicated diet formula (food treatment formula), acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine, plus common sense of life and other plans. For example, Xiaoyao Powder is prescribed for internal use to soothe the liver; It is recommended to use floating wheat and jujube to cook porridge or fresh Bergamot melon to cook soup. These two recipes are good dietary remedies, which can soothe the liver and stomach. If you don’t sleep well, you can soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, and then land your heels on the ground several times before going to bed. When you go to bed, you should pay attention to the warmth of your feet, because sleep should be “cool in the head and warm in the feet”, which can improve the quality of sleep; At the same time, Shenmen point and Daling point are selected to coordinate with acupuncture and moxibustion to regulate qi and help sleep; It is also suggested to cooperate with appropriate sports and interest tourism, and to carry out treatment from the above aspects at the same time.

Experts stress that traditional Chinese medicine pays great attention to the treatment of symptoms. People with different constitutions must be treated with different methods. It is also the same to deal with sub-health symptoms. For the same disease, doctors may design different schemes for different people. Even if it is the same acupuncture, it may not choose the same points. This is very normal. But only by conditioning and treating from many aspects and adhering to it, can this state of chronic fatigue be fundamentally improved.
