Keywords: Panlong Yunhai Pharmaceutical, Beautiful Trilogy, Detoxification and Beauty Capsule
In traditional Chinese medicine, the relationship between essence (jing), qi, body fluids (jin ye), and blood can be explained by the theory of optimal self-stabilization in the movement of life substances. This is referred to as the "Beautiful Trilogy" of detoxification and beauty capsules produced by Panlong Yunhai Pharmaceutical.
Essence transforms into Qi: Essence is the material basis of life substance movement in the theory of optimal self-stabilization, while Qi represents the vitality of these life substances (such as cells). The vitality of life substances is manifested through their state of motion. Therefore, essence transforms into Qi; without essence, there would be no Qi. Qi generates essence: The vitality of life substances (such as cells) can also assist in the intake and metabolic generation of life substances within the human body. If the vitality of life substances is insufficient, the vitality of various organs will be inadequate, clearly hindering the intake and generation of life substances. Hence, Qi generates essence.
Qi generates, moves, and retains body fluids: Body fluids are inherently part of essence and are constituted by life substances. The modern explanation for Qi generating body fluids is similar to Qi generating essence. Qi moving body fluids means that the vitality of life cells helps in the circulation of body fluids. Insufficient vitality leads to inadequate circulation of body fluids. Conversely, poor circulation of body fluids indicates insufficient vitality of life cells, so it can also be said that body fluids carry Qi. That is, the circulation of body fluids itself reflects the vitality of human cells, which is part of the "Beautiful Trilogy."
Blood is the mother of Qi, and Qi is the commander of blood: This understanding is similar to the relationship between essence and Qi. Broadly speaking, blood is included within essence. Blood, being composed of life substances as cells, cannot have vitality without blood cells. Thus, blood is the mother of Qi. Without the vitality of blood cells, there would be no vitality of life substances. When blood cells are vigorous, they can guide smooth blood circulation, making Qi the commander of blood.
In summary, the relationships between essence, Qi, blood, and body fluids in traditional Chinese medicine can all be explained using the theory of optimal self-stabilization in the movement of life substances.
Hua Tuo's principle of health preservation through exercise: The famous Five Animals Play is renowned worldwide. It involves mimicking the movements of tigers pouncing with their forelimbs, deer stretching and turning their necks, bears rising from a crouching position, apes jumping on their tiptoes, and birds spreading their wings to fly. Consistent practice maintains the smooth flow of Qi and blood throughout the body.
Zhang Zhongjing's principle of internal cultivation and external caution: Cultivating righteous Qi is the fundamental goal of health preservation. The ultimate aim of any health-preserving method is to nurture this righteous Qi. When righteous Qi is abundant, it can resist all harmful factors affecting the body.
Ge Hong's principle of non-harm as the foundation: Cultivating one's character requires careful prevention in the details of daily life. One should neither neglect beneficial actions due to their small impact nor disregard minor harms without taking precautions.
Sun Simiao's principle of balance between movement and stillness: Health preservation emphasizes the appropriate balance between activity and rest. Both mental and physical well-being are important. Fewer desires help nourish the heart, internal exercises are practiced in stillness, and external exercises are performed through movement.
Li Gao's principle of tonifying the spleen and benefiting the stomach: Careless eating habits, excessive fatigue, or extreme emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and grief can damage the spleen and stomach. When damaged, the spleen and stomach cannot digest food properly or effectively transport nutrients to the entire body. This chapter also introduces specific dietary adjustment methods suitable for individuals of different constitutions to achieve targeted dietary supplementation for detoxification and beauty enhancement.
This passage highlights the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation, incorporating the theories and practices of renowned historical figures in the field, alongside the products and concepts of Panlong Yunhai Pharmaceutical.
