At the same time, Qi and blood are two aspects of a whole, "Qi is the commander of blood; blood follows Qi. When Qi is regulated, blood is regulated; when Qi flows, blood flows."

The life of a person relies entirely on Qi and blood; when Qi and blood undergo significant changes, a multitude of diseases arise.

The patient's symptoms can belong to the Qi aspect or the blood aspect, but mainly pertain to the Qi aspect, specifically to the stagnation of Yang Qi. Stagnation leads to congestion, and blockage leads to obstruction. Various pathological states originate from this.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan suddenly realized.

Upon careful thought, isn't this indeed the case?

He had read the "Inner Canon Pain Theory" and remembered its contents, especially the phrase just mentioned by [Chuanqiong], "All diseases arise from Qi," which he remembered deeply.

Emotional harm affects the operation of the Qi of the internal organs, leading to abnormal ascension and descent of the organ Qi mechanism, resulting in corresponding clinical manifestations.

Thus the "Suwen·Ju Teng Lun" states: "All diseases arise from Qi. Anger causes Qi to rise, joy causes Qi to slow, sadness causes Qi to dissipate, fear causes Qi to descend... shock causes Qi to be chaotic... thought causes Qi to bind."

Among them:

Anger causes Qi to rise, referring to the pathological change where extreme anger causes liver Qi to counter flow, to the extent that blood follows Qi in counter flow.

Joy causes Qi to slow, referring to the pathological change where excessive joy results in the dispersion of heart Qi or the scattering of spirit.

Sadness causes Qi to dissipate, referring to the pathological change where excessive sorrow depletes lung Qi or disrupts its regulation.

Fear causes Qi to descend, referring to the pathological change where excessive fear destabilizes kidney Qi, causing Qi to sink downward.

Shock causes Qi to be chaotic, referring to the pathological change where sudden shock unsettles the spirit, causing chaotic Qi mechanisms.

Thought causes Qi to bind, referring to the pathological change where excessive pondering leads to stagnation of the heart and spleen Qi mechanisms, disrupting function.

In simple terms, Qi has a significant impact on the human body.

Bao Yixia was slightly nervous, especially seeing that Lu Xuan had been silent for a long time, feeling utterly disheartened, thinking that even someone as reputed as Dr. Lu might be powerless against her condition. For a moment, she felt a complex mix of emotions:

"Dr. Lu, is my illness incurable? If there truly is no solution, just tell me directly. I can understand; I don't blame you. Also, don't worry; I'm not unreasonable. I won't speak poorly of you outside just because you can't find a solution."

In a way, Bao Yixia is somewhat reasonable.

The reason she easily gets angry is simply due to her uncontrolled physical ailments.

After hearing Bao Yixia's words, Lu Xuan snapped back to reality and looked at her, saying, "Auntie, I thought carefully about your illness. It mainly stems from having too many childbirths in your youth, harming your vital Qi, and then experiencing severe mental trauma, leading to a lack of Yang Qi's motivating power. This has caused a series of subsequent symptoms.

If treated properly, there is still a possibility of cure.

However, treating an illness isn't just the doctor's responsibility. You must cooperate, Auntie."

"Can it really be cured?"

Bao Yixia obviously couldn't believe what she had heard.

However, in the next moment, she reverted to normal.

Doctors she had seen in the past all said the same, but the end result was nothing more than repeated disappointment, making her afraid to easily believe what doctors said now.

It's not distrust; it's not wanting to be disappointed again.

Repeated disappointment only exacerbates her symptoms.

"Dr. Lu, is what you said true? Can my mother's illness really be cured?"

Unlike Bao Yixia, her daughter Zhang Runping evidently believed Lu Xuan's words, becoming excited.

"Chinese medicine can regulate and, with your cooperation, the possibility of cure is high."

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Additionally, vegetative dysfunction isn't an overly severe condition. The reason Western medicine struggles to cure it permanently is mainly due to the inability to motivate the heart's Yang Qi. Without Qi motivation, no amount of medication can treat the root cause, only the symptoms.

Moreover, many Western medicines have significant side effects. Overuse easily leads to drug resistance, making subsequent medication ineffective.

Also, many incurable conditions have a high chance of relapse once medication stops.

On the other hand, Chinese medicine not only treats symptoms but also strengthens the foundation and nourishes the essence, solving the fundamental issue, thus eliminating the condition."

"Can Qi really have such a significant impact?" Ji Xiuwen opened his mouth in surprise.

"Indeed."

Lu Xuan glanced at him and explained, "You should recall that phrase from the 'Inner Scripture of the Yellow Emperor': 'All diseases arise from Qi. Anger causes Qi to rise, joy causes Qi to slow, sadness causes Qi to bind, shock causes Qi to be chaotic, labor causes Qi to deplete.'

This clearly shows how vital and influential Qi is to the human body.

In simple terms, the various functional organs of a person's living organism are useful to the organism, striving to maintain its normal functioning.

These organ functions are relatively independent yet cooperate, completing the organism's life functions together.

Thus, the human organism should be considered an independent and complete advanced balance system.

In the natural world, it too comprises a large balanced cycle system.

When a particular species undergoes change, it inevitably affects a series of related species, forming a chain reaction.

The human organism, consisting of flesh and blood, is even more of a tightly integrated, high-level organic balance system.

For example, if your small finger is severed, there would be some functional imbalance in the body.

If you're malnourished and lack vital nutritional elements, specific corresponding symptoms are sure to arise.
