Health preserving principle
First, don't blindly tonic.
The tonic method is generally used for the elderly and infirm, and most of these people's constitutions are "virtual". It is more appropriate to use the tonic method, and people who are healthy and disease-free generally do not need to take it. It is particularly important to note that taking tonics should be targeted. Seeing tonics is completely beneficial and harmless, and it is easy to aggravate the imbalance of qi, blood and yin and yang in the body. Not only is it useless, but it is harmful. You should not blindly supplement it. If we identify the virtual and the virtual, we must make targeted supplements.
Cheng, a physician in the Qing Dynasty, pointed out: "The meaning of big supplement is also! However, there are people who make up for mistakes; Someone who makes up for mistakes improperly and makes up for mistakes; There are people who don't know qi and blood, cold and heat, opening and closing, weight, five internal organs, roots and prescriptions to confuse people. "
Second, make up.
The purpose of tonic is to coordinate yin and yang, and it should be just right, not too biased, which will cause harm, lead to a new imbalance between yin and yang, and make the body suffer another injury. For example, although it belongs to qi deficiency, blindly supplementing qi in large doses without considering other things will lead to qi stagnation, fullness in chest and abdomen, and imbalance in lifting; Although it is yin deficiency, but blindly nourishing yin in large doses without paying attention to moderation, and replenishing yin too much, it inhibits Yang Qi, causing the human body to be cold and dignified, and yin flourishes and yang declines. Therefore, the supplement should be moderate, enough is enough, and the supplement should not be too partial.
Third, dialectical tonic.
Deficiency is to be supplemented, but the specific situation of deficiency is different, so it is necessary to distinguish viscera, qi and blood, yin and yang, cold and heat, deficiency and excess when supplementing, and apply it according to syndrome differentiation, so as to achieve the effect of impartiality and longevity.
In addition, taking tonics should adopt different methods according to the ups and downs of yin and yang in the four seasons. Otherwise, it is not only useless, but harmful to health.
Fourth, the winner should have diarrhea.
Drug tonic is certainly an auxiliary means for the elderly and infirm to prolong life, but it is not uncommon for them to feel something real. It is also biased to talk about empty talk, regardless of the facts. As Xu Ling said: "People who can live for many years must have their own strengths, and those with strong yang should replenish yin". "People with strong yang should not only replenish yin, but also clear fire and protect yin"; "If there are accidental reasons such as wind, cold, phlegm and dampness, it is particularly urgent to exorcise evil spirits." Now people's living standards have improved, and they often take supplements and diarrhea. Those who have a strong but not greasy taste often have a lot of fat and alcohol, are obese, have turbid qi and blood, and food accumulation has become their hidden danger. Therefore, purging excess is also an important principle of anti-aging and prolonging life.
Five, diarrhea does not hurt the right.
People full of evil spirits can only balance Yin and Yang, qi and blood by promoting diuresis, but they should also pay attention to the proper use of purging methods, and should not overdo it because it is full of the whole body. Excessive diarrhea can easily lead to the lack of healthy qi, which not only can not prolong life, but is counterproductive. Therefore, the method of purging excess in drug health preservation is based on the principle of not hurting healthy qi. Try not to sweat excessively, clear your heart, be too cold, and be in no hurry. In practical application, we should pay attention to the following points: ① Only those who do have excessive stagnation can consider using the purging method; ② Drug selection must be appropriate, safe and effective; (3) the dosage must be appropriate, just right; (4) Don't rush for success and ask for quick results.
Six, slow medication chart
Aging is a complex and slow process, and any method to prolong life will not be achieved overnight. Drug regimen is no exception, and it is impossible to achieve the goal of health and longevity in a short time by drugs. Therefore, it is appropriate to slow down the use of drugs, and there should be a gradual process, and it is not appropriate to rush for success.
