A colleague sprained his arm during the Spring Festival. I took a lot of medicine and did related treatment, and the effect was not very good. So I asked them to help me massage for a while, move for a while, press for a while, and immediately felt a lot easier. Then, people who came to visit the temple fair also said that it was very effective. Taoist health has a long history. I didn't contact the aisle doctors, so I ran to them in my spare time and wanted to ask them something.
After chatting for a while, I talked to them about some of my troubles: irregular nosebleeds and sometimes abdominal pain when walking. Hearing this, the man smiled and said, your problem is easy to solve. Rub your hands when you walk with abdominal pain, massage Dantian while it is hot, and it will be fine in a moment. As for your nosebleed, it's blood heat. You can pick some evergreen leaves, boil water to drink, and you can go in while lying down. These will do.
I haven't seen these two symptoms, and I'm not sure about the effectiveness of these methods, but through the observation and communication with that person in these two days, I have some contact with Chinese medicine and made some thoughts:
(1) Ancient Taoist priests lived in the mountains all the year round, and it was inevitable that some diseases would appear in their bodies. Therefore, some simple and quick coping methods were explored in their long-term life and practice, so relatively quick results were obtained. Most of the people they face are of the same kind and have similar symptoms (similar to the "occupational disease" that is often said now). Traditional Chinese medicine faces a wide range of people, from imperial doctors to doctors, treating various diseases of princes and rich families; From Dr. Bell of Gao Xiaopu, an old Chinese medicine practitioner, to ordinary people, there are many people, and monks account for a small part. Therefore, the diseases and people faced by Chinese medicine are more complicated and need to be treated according to syndrome differentiation. It varies from person to person, from place to place, from time to time and is comprehensive.
(2) Taoism has its own way of keeping in good health, and there are also some long-term practice foundations such as meditation that we ordinary people have. So their physical qualities are somewhat different from ours. They can relieve temporary pain, but we can't meet long-term conditioning, so we still need Chinese medicine to complete it.
(3) Sun Simiao collected Taoist doctors, Tibetan doctors and some effective folk prescriptions, learned from classics, assiduously sought ancient methods, combined with his own clinical experience, and constantly devoted himself to the research of Chinese medicine, and was finally called "King of Medicine" by later generations. This reminds me of Li Shizhen, and some of my feelings about him can be seen from some thoughts about Li Shizhen, so I won't go into details here.
This reminds me of some discussions about traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the group yesterday. I think Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own advantages, and there is no need to deliberately crowd out either side. Chinese medicine depends on the doctor's judgment on the patient's condition. Maybe eight out of ten people are different, and the prescriptions may be different. If we combine western medicine, instrument testing and specific data analysis, the grasp of symptoms may be more accurate. However, the reference is not obsessed with those data, but gives up the foundation.
Everything must have its rationality, and we can absorb its essence. Wouldn't it be better to use it after we master it?
Because I don't know Taoist doctors, I have only been in contact with these people for a short time, and I have no concept of western medicine, and I know very little about Chinese medicine. Some ideas may be immature. The above views are for reference only, please advise if there are any shortcomings!
