Chinese medicine health care

Five diseases can be treated with the following method

When external evil qi invades the human body's internal organs and interferes with their functions, resulting in tangible pathological substances such as phlegm, dampness, pus and dry feces; when it accumulates in the body or the body's own internal organs are dysfunctional and the circulation of qi and blood is blocked, resulting in the retention of waste in the intestines or the production of tangible pathological substances such as blood stasis, dampness, phlegm, etc., stagnation will form and a "feeling of being held back" situation will occur.

There are five types of stagnation: heat stagnation, cold stagnation, water stagnation, blood stagnation, and dryness stagnation. Among them, heat accumulation, cold accumulation and water accumulation are all caused by the invasion of corresponding evil qi. For example, water will freeze into ice when it is exposed to cold. When the stomach and intestines are exposed to cold, the undigested food in the intestines will also condense together, causing constipation, stomach pain, and chills.

In addition to the cold-purgative method, there are also hot-purgative method, water-expelling method, blood-stasis-expelling method and moistening-purgative method according to different types of stagnation. Rhubarb often appears in the prescriptions of these four methods. It can be said that it is the most widely used important medicine in the purgative method. This is because rhubarb has the effect of "cleansing the intestines and stomach, and bringing in the old and the new", just like a brave and powerful general who can eliminate all kinds of "enemies" in the intestines.

The precautions when using the laxative method are similar to those of the vomiting method and the sweating method. You should stop taking the medicine after defecation to avoid damaging the stomach qi, and avoid greasy and indigestible foods.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Preservation

Let it be

Going with the flow embodies the idea of ​​"harmony between man and nature" and emphasizes that in the process of health preservation, one must conform to the laws of nature and not violate them. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the unity and coordination between people and society. As the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine advocates: "Knowing astronomy, geography, and human affairs can lead to longevity."

Cultivating both body and spirit

In the process of health preservation, we should pay attention to both physical care and mental and psychological regulation, the so-called nourishing both body and spirit, protecting the spirit and the body, and preserving the body and the spirit.

Combination of static and dynamic

Modern medicine advocates that "life lies in movement", and traditional Chinese medicine also advocates that "movement generates yang" and advocates exercise for fitness, but traditional Chinese medicine also advocates "finding tranquility in movement" and "not overworking oneself". As the Zhouyi Waizhuan says, "Movement and stillness are mutually inclusive, and they are the root of all changes." The Leijing Yiyi says, "All principles in the world come from one movement and one stillness."

Comprehensive and careful consideration of the causes

There is no single method or form for health preservation. It should be carried out through various channels and methods such as body, spirit, movement, stillness, food, and medicine. In addition, different health-preserving methods should be used according to different people, places, and times. This is what is meant by examining the causes and applying health-preserving methods based on syndrome differentiation.

Medicine

The main content is the selection and preparation of health-preserving medicines. Most of its preparations are pure natural edible herbal medicines; their preparation methods are mostly rough processing and adjustment, and their dosage forms are mostly integrated with food. In ancient times, food was often called medicinal food or French food. Its application range is also wide, suitable for a large number of people, and its nutritional content also involves medicine, pharmacy, food culture and other aspects.

In short, the characteristic of health preservation is to emphasize individual behavior, and the methods adopted should vary from person to person. The so-called providing care according to the cause and providing care according to the individual does not require uniformity within the group. For example, person A needs to focus on physical exercise, person B needs to focus on regulating diet, person C needs to focus on regulating the mind, and so on. If we indiscriminately require A, B and C to strengthen their physical exercise or change their diet, it may not necessarily meet the health needs of each person.

Conclusion: To sum up, there are many methods of health care in traditional Chinese medicine. The key is that we must find a health care method that suits us. In daily life, health care starts with nourishing the mind, so we must maintain a good mental state.
