Taking the human body as the research object in TCM clinic, the methods and measures of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases are put forward by studying the physiological and pathological characteristics of the human body and the occurrence and development law of diseases. In the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, doctors usually divide the human body into different organs, meridians and qi and blood systems, and achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases by regulating and balancing these systems.
Specifically, the research objects commonly used in TCM clinic include viscera, meridians, qi and blood, body fluid and so on. Among them, the zang-fu organs include heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. Meridian includes the twelve meridians, Qi Jing and Eight Veins, and qi and blood includes qi, blood, body fluid. Through observation, inquiry and examination of these subjects, Chinese medicine comprehensively analyzes the patients' condition and physical characteristics, and formulates targeted treatment plans.
In addition, Chinese medicine also pays attention to the influence of environment, emotion, diet and other factors on the human body, emphasizes the overall concept and comprehensive conditioning to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. In a word, the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine takes the human body as the research object, and provides important theoretical and practical basis for the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine through comprehensive research on all aspects of the human body.
Basic characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine:
The basic characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine include holistic view and dialectical treatment.
Holism is the understanding of the unity, integrity and connection of the human body in traditional Chinese medicine. Holiness, that is, unity, integrity and connection, is a macroscopic understanding of the human body and the nature of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is the basic way of thinking in traditional Chinese medicine theory. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is an organic whole, and people are closely related to the natural environment, and people should correspond to nature, and people should conform to nature and correspond to heaven and earth, so they emphasize the whole concept in diagnosis, treatment, disease prevention and health preservation.
Treatment based on syndrome differentiation is the basic principle and method for TCM to recognize and treat diseases. Dialectics is to analyze and synthesize the data, symptoms and signs collected by four diagnostic methods (looking, smelling, asking and pulse), identify the cause, nature, location and the relationship between evil and positive, and conclude and judge it as a syndrome. Treatment is to determine the corresponding treatment method according to the results of syndrome differentiation. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes individualized treatment according to people, time and place, which is the spiritual essence of dialectical treatment.
