I. Vision Problems and Physical Conditioning: The Importance of a Holistic Perspective

In Chinese medicine theory, vision problems are not just a localized problem of the eyes, but are closely related to the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body and the function of the internal organs. In particular, the function of the spleen and stomach, the posterior occipital region, the upper and lower orbits, and the smoothness of the Ren and Dudu veins all have a profound effect on vision.

1. Spleen and Stomach: Source of Qi and Blood Generation

The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the later day, the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Only when the spleen and stomach function properly can food be transformed into nutrients and delivered to all parts of the body, including the eyes. Therefore, the first thing you need to do to regulate your eyesight is to regulate your spleen and stomach to ensure that you have enough qi and blood to nourish your eyes.

2. Posterior occipital region: Essence flows up to the eyes

Chinese medicine believes that the essence of the five viscera and six bowels are injected into the eye, and "the pulse and for the system, belonging to the brain, and out of the item in the". Therefore, the back of the occipital region of the meridians smooth or not, directly affecting the blood supply to the eyes. Toning the posterior occipital region can promote the circulation of blood and qi in the eyes and improve eyesight.

3. Upper and lower orbits: channels for the movement of qi and blood

The upper and lower orbits are channels for the input of the human gastric system, and unblocking them can promote the rhythmic operation of the eye meridians and promote the operation of yang qi and the qi and blood of the five viscera, thus improving the blood supply and nutritional status of the eyes.

4. The two chakras: the governor of yin and yang, qi and blood

The Ren and Dudu Chakras are the governors of yin and yang of the human body, and govern the meridian system of the whole body. Clearing the Ren and Duke Chakras, especially the Duke Chakra, can promote the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body and provide sufficient qi and blood support for the eyes.

5. Advantages of vision care for adolescents

For teenagers under the age of 16, their body and eye structure is in the development stage, the internal organs function is more active, meridians and blood run relatively smooth. At this time, if you can use the right techniques to regulate, often in three months to six months to achieve significant results, physical and visual acuity can be significantly improved.

II. Tongue diagnosis and identification: a key link in vision regulation

In the process of vision adjustment, identification is a crucial part of the process, and tongue diagnosis is the core means of identification. By observing the tongue, one can understand the changes in the body's qi and blood, the functions of the internal organs, as well as the prevalence of yin and yang, so as to formulate a more accurate conditioning program.

1. The concept of the triple jiao: a basis for understanding tongue diagnosis

To learn tongue diagnosis, you first need to grasp the concept of "San Jiao":☆☆☆Sanjiao meridian: one of the twelve meridians in the human body, distributed in the chest, abdomen, upper limbs, and the head and face, the main division of the human body's qi in and out.☆☆☆Sanjiao viscera: one of the six viscera, covering the upper, middle and lower parts of the human body, is the human body qi, blood and fluid operation of the channel.

2. Correspondence between the San Jiao and the tongue image

• Upper Jiao: Mainly responsible for Qi propagation, corresponding to the head and chest of the body. The tip of the tongue reflects the condition of the Upper Jiao.
  • ☆☆☆Red tongue tip: There is heat in the upper Jiao, and symptoms such as excessive heart fire, cough, throat inflammation and rhinitis may occur.☆☆☆Tongue bulge: Upper jiao qi is not smooth, may have dizziness in the head, memory loss and other problems.
• Middle Jiao: Belongs to the Spleen and Stomach and is responsible for digestion and absorption. The tongue reflects the middle jiao.
  • ☆☆☆Drum in the tongue: Dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, indigestion and bloating may occur.☆☆☆Depression in the tongue: Weakness of the spleen and stomach, with possible loss of appetite and fatigue.
• Lower Jiao: Mainly excretory, corresponding to the abdomen and lower limbs of the body. The root of the tongue reflects the condition of the lower jiao.
  • ☆☆☆Drum at the base of the tongue: Lower jiao qi is not smooth, and symptoms such as constipation and frequent urination may occur.☆☆☆White and greasy tongue: Cold-dampness is present in the lower Jiao, and symptoms such as fear of cold and coldness, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees may occur.

3. Tongue texture and tongue coating: an important basis for the identification of evidence

• Tongue quality: Refers to the muscle and vein organization of the tongue, reflecting the body's qi and blood and the function of internal organs.
  • ☆Normal tongue texture: light red and moist, soft and flexible.☆Red tongue: The body is hot and may be on fire.☆Pale white tongue: Insufficient qi and blood, symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness may occur.
• Tongue Moss: Refers to the mossy substance attached to the tongue, reflecting the function of the spleen and stomach and the metabolism of water and fluid.
  • ☆Normal tongue coating: thin, white and moist.☆White greasy moss: There is cold and dampness in the body, and symptoms such as indigestion and diarrhea may occur.☆Yellow greasy moss: There is dampness and heat in the body, and symptoms such as bitter mouth, bad breath and constipation may occur.

III. Specific applications of tongue diagnosis and vision regulation

1. Key points of tongue observation

• Time and Pose:☆Avoid observing the tongue just after waking up and just after eating; it is recommended to do it one hour after waking up or eating.☆Observe it with your tongue sticking out naturally and take a picture of it to view with your cell phone camera to make sure it is in its natural state.
• Observations:☆Whether the tip of the tongue is red and bulging: to determine whether there is heat in the upper Jiao or whether the Qi is not flowing well.☆Whether there is a bulge in the tongue: to determine whether the spleen and stomach are functioning normally.

2. Tongue image and the method of regulation

• Red or bulging tongue:☆Conditioning focus: To clear Qi and blood in the upper jiao.☆Specific techniques: Rub the cervical spine and loose bladder meridian for three to five minutes each.
• Drum in the tongue:☆Conditioning focus: Conditioning the spleen and stomach.☆Specific techniques: abdominal kneading, moxibustion in the mid-epigastric region.
• No tongue redness, bulge or mid-tongue bulge:☆Conditioning Focus: Direct spleen and stomach conditioning.☆Specific techniques: abdominal kneading, moxibustion in the mid-epigastric region.
• Open four passes:☆The on/off operation can be performed regardless of the presence or absence of the above tongue problems.☆Specific techniques: Twisting the towel on the limbs and rubbing the large tendons behind the ears to promote the flow of qi and blood throughout the body.

3. Other conditioning considerations

• Back sparing:☆Manipulations such as rubbing the cervical vertebrae, loosening the bladder meridian, and loosening the huatuo pinch spine can unblock qi and blood in the upper and middle jiao and improve vision.☆With the right technique, you can see a significant improvement in your tongue and vision in one session.
• Chiropractic:☆It can deal with the accumulation of food, generate Yang Qi, support the positive and drive away the evil, and is beneficial for regulating the function of internal organs and promoting growth and development.☆However, not all children are suitable for chiropractic care. Some children experience discomfort such as constipation after chiropractic care, and need to be adjusted according to the specific situation.
• Special Physique:☆Certain children may have a special constitution, such as heart meridian points that cannot be stimulated at will, etc. They need to be adjusted under the guidance of a medical professional.

IV. Case study: association of tongue image with vision problems

Case one:☆Tongue: Red and bulging tongue, depression in the middle of the tongue, transverse bulging at the base of the tongue.☆ANALYSIS: There is heat in the Upper Jiao and the Qi is not flowing well, the Spleen and Stomach are weak, and the Qi in the Lower Jiao is not flowing well.☆Recommendations: focus on dredging the lower jiao, can be used to wring the towel technique; regulating the spleen and stomach, avoid moxibustion.

Case two:☆Tongue: Slightly red but bulging tongue.☆Analysis: There is a severe dysfunction of the upper jiao qi, and there may be emotional problems.☆Recommendations: Focus on unblocking the Upper Jiao, by rubbing the cervical vertebrae and loosening the bladder meridian; focus on emotional management.

Case Three:☆Tongue: Red tongue, bulging in the middle of the tongue, white and greasy at the base of the tongue.☆Analysis: There is heat in the upper Jiao, dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and cold and dampness in the lower Jiao.☆Suggestions: dredge the upper jiao, regulate the spleen and stomach, avoid moxibustion; consider dispelling dampness and warming the yang.

Case 4: Some children's tongues are missing a little at the tip of the tongue, and this is related to their constitution. Among the children I have seen, the lack of tongue tip is obviously a deficiency of heart qi, and the depression in the middle of the tongue is also a sign of deficiency. In some cases, the tongue is crooked in the middle, which is related to scoliosis, which may cause difficulty in concentrating on a daily basis, or scoliosis, which may lead to different heights and short and long feet. If the child has scoliosis and has vision problems, it may be better to work with muscle building. If the tongue is bulging in the middle, work with muscle groups as well.

V、Summarize

Tongue diagnosis is an important means of vision management in Chinese medicine. By observing the tongue, one can understand the changes in the body's qi and blood, the functions of the internal organs, and the prevalence of yin and yang, so as to formulate a more accurate management plan. The combination of tongue diagnosis and the correct treatment techniques can effectively improve vision problems and promote general health.
