Belt vessel disorder 帶脈失調/帶脈病

「帶脈」為奇經八脈之一,是全身唯一一條橫向的經脈,行於腰際,形似腰帶。 帶脈起源於肝經循行身體側邊的章門穴,高度在臍上三指幅寬(2寸)、第11肋游離端下方。 帶脈位於上下半身之樞紐地帶,約束和聯繫所有縱向的經脈。 The belt vessel is one of the eight extra meridians. It is the only meridian that flows horizontally. The belt vessel originates from the lower part of hypochondrium, near the end of the 11th floating ribs, almost where the LR13 acupoints are, and passes around the waist like a belt. As the belt vessel lies in the pivotal area between the upper and lower body, its essential function is to restrain and connect all the longitudinal meridians. 男性腰圍超過90公分(約35吋;穿L的褲子有點緊,或必須穿XL以上)、女性腰圍超過80公分(約31吋;穿不太下XL的褲子),是帶脈失調的指標之一;可能是帶脈失調造成腰圍病態胖大,也可能腰圍失控使帶脈失去功能,兩者可以是互為因果。 A male waist circumference of more than 90 cm (about 35 inches; wearing L pants is a bit tight, or must wear XL or above) and a female waist circumference of more than 80 cm (about 31 inches; can not fit into XL pants) is one of the indicators of belt vessel disorder. It may be that the belt vessel disorder causes obesity, or it ma...

Addiction 成癮

  으 你是否想過,為何人無法憑靠堅強的意志力戒除上癮的東西?這是因為「成癮」並不是意志力不夠堅強,而是人為了活下去而產生的一種求生行為。有些成癮的習慣具有破壞性,會帶來不良後果,但每當人無法處理痛苦,又極力想找回安全感、找到安慰、取回掌控感,或只想變得麻木,就可能發展出成癮行為作為他的應對策略。 Have you ever wondered why willpower alone doesn’t stop addiction? Because addiction isn’t about weakness - it’s about survival. Some of the habits might be destructive and bring adverse consequences, but whenever an individual is struggling with unprocessed pain and is desperate to feel safe, soothed, regain a sense of control, or simply want to be numb, addiction can develop as his/her coping mechanism. 能讓人成癮的東西不只限於香菸、毒品或酒精,難以停止瀏覽社群媒體和短影音、情緒性進食、情緒性購物、過度工作、追求他人的認可、性成癮......這些都是上癮。 Addiction isn’t just cigarettes, drugs or alcohol. It can be endless scrolling on social media and reels, emotional eating, emotional shopping, overworking, chasing validation in relationships, and hypersexuality. 那你有想過,同樣都暴露在壓力之下,有的人很快就出現了成癮行為,有的人沒有,這是為什麼呢?有所謂「容易成癮」的體質或先決條件嗎? Have you ever thought about this: when exposed to the same pressure, some individ...
