Exploration of the improvement effect of abdominal breathing training on cognitive function from the perspective of qi, blood, and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine
Under the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) system
cognitive dysfunction can be categorized as a "mind" disease. The main pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction is the lack of nourishment in the brain
the most important principle of which is the regulation of the movement of qi and blood. In the TCM system
pectoral qi generated by breath could flow to the brain and elixir field in the lower abdomen to nourish the mind and original qi simultaneously and promote the flow of essence qi originated from the liver and kidney. Connected by the movement of qi
the meridians can be coupled in a ring
so the sufficient essence
blood
and qi can be continuously supplied to the brain and all over the body. Our previous research found that abdominal breathing training has a benign regulatory effect on the viscera
qi
and blood functions of the human body
and has a positive trend of promoting and regulating the operation of zang-fu qi and blood. Additionally
as an active training therapy
it is beneficial to enhance the activity of the cerebral cortex motor center
improve the excitation of nerve cells
and improve the blood flow of the brain. Starting from the theory of qi
blood
and meridians in TCM
and by considering the latest research progress in related fields
we discuss the improvement gained from abdominal breathing training on brain cognitive function. Our work opens up new research ideas for improving cognitive ability and preventing and treating cognitive impairment.
