Doing these things for health can be fatal.
Misunderstanding of TCM health preservation
Myth 1: Health care needs to be supplemented.
Many people choose all kinds of so-called precious Chinese medicines, such as velvet antler, cordyceps, American ginseng and Korean ginseng. Or soak in water or wine for tonic. These drugs are really valuable and nourishing, but people just ignore one thing-whether the body needs them or not, most healthy people don't need them, just like a tire full of gas. If you keep pumping up, I think the result is already obvious.
Many people will say that I am sub-healthy. It is true that at present, due to the increasing pressure from society and family, as well as the comprehensive effects of environmental pollution, food additives and other factors, many people's physical functions are in a sub-health state, and there will be various symptoms such as fatigue, sweating, insomnia and dreaminess. It is very correct to choose Chinese medicine. But many people often think that fatigue is qi deficiency, sweating is yin deficiency or qi deficiency, and insomnia and dreaminess is qi deficiency or blood deficiency.
There are strict standards for the application of Chinese medicine. One of the most important principles in Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases is that "evidence can be used as medicine", but our so-called qi deficiency syndrome, blood deficiency syndrome, yin deficiency syndrome and yang deficiency syndrome are all judgments made by Chinese medicine doctors through comprehensive analysis after seeing, smelling, asking and feeling patients, which are not simply applied and cannot be supplemented simply for health preservation.
Myth 2: Chinese medicine has no side effects.
With people's in-depth understanding of the side effects of various drugs and biological agents, more and more people choose traditional Chinese medicine. With the promotion of many medical products, the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are almost ignored, giving people an understanding that "traditional Chinese medicine is pure natural and harmless".
We should know that Chinese medicine under the guidance of Chinese medicine theory is medicine, and one of the most important basic ideas of its treatment is "treating bias with bias", that is, using the bias of drugs to adjust the deviation of human function, so drugs themselves have therapeutic effects. Although according to modern pharmacological research, most traditional Chinese medicines are not toxic to liver and kidney, it does not mean that there are no side effects.
This means that if Chinese medicine is used improperly, it will not cause liver and kidney damage, but it will cause damage and deviation of body function.
Myth 3: Non-drug therapy is infinite.
At present, there are many health books about non-drug therapy on the market, but the unlimited expansion of the role of non-drug therapy also has side effects, which may cause harm to health. Cupping therapy, for example, is a treasure of traditional medicine, which uses negative air pressure to make the body partially congested and inflamed, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Just like our Chinese medicine, it is a good method in itself, but its function has its indications, that is to say, there are maladjusted diseases and even contraindications.
In the process of regulating physical condition for health preservation, if the method is not properly selected and operated, it will cause damage to vital qi and even aggravate the condition. Clinically, many patients suffer from subcutaneous induration, severe skin bruising and even necrosis and scarring due to excessive cupping.
Meridian, considered by Chinese medicine to be the channel of qi and blood circulation, many health preservation methods achieve the function of disease prevention and health care by beating and stimulating meridian. Theoretically speaking, acupuncture and other therapeutic methods act on meridians, and achieve the purpose of treating diseases by regulating qi and blood of meridians.
However, the basic understanding of health in traditional Chinese medicine is "harmony between qi and blood" and "harmony between yin and yang", which can not be achieved simply by knocking on meridians; On the other hand, Chinese medicine believes that qi and blood have their birth, growth, transformation and storage time, not only in the four seasons, but also in one day. Inappropriate stimulation of qi and blood, just like exercising when it is time to sleep, will disrupt the "work and rest time" of qi and blood and cause harm to the body.
Myth 4: Diet therapy is suitable for everyone.
Dietotherapy is a treasure of China's civilized food culture for thousands of years, which plays an important role in our disease prevention and health care. At present, various dietotherapy health centers have emerged. Looking at their recipes, most of them are the synthesis of various nourishing ingredients and medicinal materials such as "turtle, sea cucumber, abalone, medlar, black-bone chicken", and of course, there are also drugs such as "purslane, purple-backed begonia, taro, yam" that clear away heat and detoxify. Although there are many styles, they are generally simply pieced together and cannot be carried out according to the physique of consumers.
Everyone needs to pay attention to correct health care, but also pay attention to conditioning methods. At ordinary times, we should carry out comprehensive nursing, pay attention to the nutritional supplement methods of health care, improve our physique in an all-round way, and don't blindly carry out diet therapy. Don't think that the more Chinese medicines you eat, the better for your health.
