Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the biggest advantage of treating diseases in this way is that it pays great attention to the self-repair ability of the human body. Thousands of years ago, Huangdi Neijing advocated health preservation and disease prevention, and advocated that doctors "treat diseases before they occur". If you are sick, you should recuperate first, and give priority to acupuncture, Bian Shi, * * * * and other treatments with small side effects. It's really no good, and then use a small amount of drugs to assist treatment.
In fact, the purpose of medical treatment is not to correct human errors and stop the symptoms of diseases, but to help the human body complete its due functions. For example, if the resistance of the respiratory system drops, you will catch a cold. Therefore, experienced Chinese medicine practitioners generally do not prescribe drugs and injections to cool down and relieve cough. Instead, they told patients to drink more water, have more rest, abstain from eating big fish and meat, and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins. This can avoid increasing the burden on the stomach and give the body a chance to repair, thus promoting the recovery of the body's self-healing system, and the cold will heal itself without treatment.
At a class reunion, we met again ten years after graduation. Zhang Wei, who came back from other places, was very excited. He pushed a cup for a change several times in the old chat, had a full meal unconsciously, and then went to the karaoke bar to sing all night. Who knows that the next day, Zhang Wei suddenly felt abdominal pain and diarrhea. So I quickly went to a nearby hospital for treatment.
After the doctor asked, he didn't prescribe medicine, but told him: "Reduce the food intake, drink some water with sugar and salt, don't eat big fish and big meat, you can drink yogurt, eat eggs and millet porridge." If it is not good to eat roasted garlic, the specific method is: take two or three garlic, preferably purple-skinned, break the garlic without peeling it, and put it in the oven for baking. When the garlic cloves are baked, the soft skin is slightly yellow, and the garlic cloves are peeled and eaten. Then pay attention to rest and ensure sleep. "
Zhang Wei asked the doctor doubtfully, "Don't you need to prescribe some antidiarrheal drugs for me? What if it is broken? "
The doctor explained to Zhang Wei: "Sometimes diarrhea is a self-protection reaction of the body. According to your description, your diarrhea should be caused by improper diet. When a person first arrives in a foreign country, it is easy to acclimatize. This is because the spleen and stomach are not adapted. As long as you pay attention to your diet, you will get used to it in a few days. If you overeat before the stomach has been adjusted, it will easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, and then adverse reactions such as diarrhea will occur. In some cases, diarrhea may also be the detoxification of the stomach. This detoxification method can prevent harmful substances from being absorbed by the human body and is the self-protection of the body. "
Seeing Zhang Wei's incomprehension, the doctor went on to say, "In fact, our bodies are not as fragile as we thought. Aren't there many people who can recover without taking medicine after a cold? " As long as it is not diarrhea caused by bacteria, viruses and other infections, it can be completely recovered by the body's self-healing ability. Although I didn't prescribe medicine for you, you must carry out the methods I told you, because these methods can repair your own self-healing, that is, I will give you a helping hand and let you heal yourself. "
Zhang Wei finally followed the doctor's advice and didn't take medicine. As a result, he recovered a day later. He went to the hospital to thank the doctor. The doctor smiled and said, "Don't thank me, thank yourself." . Modern medicine has found that the best treatment for both Chinese medicine and western medicine is to improve the self-healing ability of the human body by repairing the balance of the self-healing system. Therefore, the treatment should not simply stop the symptoms of the disease, but help the human body to complete its work. "
Zhang Wei, who has the highest medical level, is lucky. He met a responsible and good doctor, but more people were not so lucky. Many patients completely gave themselves to the doctor, and the doctor completely gave the medicine to the patient. However, the patient does not know that the reason why his disease persists and cannot be cured for a long time is precisely because of long-term medication that the body has formed drug resistance. If a drug doesn't work, it will be replaced by other new drugs, and patients will inevitably fall into a vicious circle.
Compared with this kind of people, patients who are good at using the self-healing power of the body to regulate themselves recover faster, which not only saves a lot of medical expenses, but also is really responsible for the body in the long run.
As we all know, the healing of wounds and the appearance of scars are all self-repair work completed by the body. Modern medicine has found that some symptoms in the process of human rehabilitation are actually part of the repair work. Understand this truth, when treating diseases, don't interfere with the work of human body at will. What doctors (or ourselves) should do is to repair the part and promote the healthy development of the whole self-healing system.
Of course, the method of using self-healing power to eliminate diseases and strengthen the body has certain application limitations. It is suitable for preventing and treating "before onset" and at the beginning of onset, that is, when the disease just shows signs and the body's self-healing system still has the ability to repair. If it is terminally ill, it is natural to treat patients and save lives, and treat the symptoms first. This book advocates the use of self-healing power to treat diseases, not only to let everyone know about diseases and clarify the direction of treatment, but also to improve public health awareness and disease prevention awareness.
Huangdi Neijing says: "Sages should be treated before they get sick", "upward movement and downward effect, before they get sick" ... If you see the disease of the liver, you can know that the liver has not spread to the spleen, so you should consolidate the spleen first ... If you see the disease of the liver, you can only treat the liver ". Even today, the idea of "preventing diseases" in TCM can be described as "the highest" and "the most advanced". The cleverest doctor should not only cure people, but also prevent them from getting sick. No medicine can achieve the effect of self-healing. Modern medical research has proved that self-healing power is a real magic weapon to help the body recover, and the ultimate goal of any treatment method is to revive the self-healing power of the body.
How many diseases can heal themselves? According to the German health magazine Vitality, researchers found that the human body has the ability to cure 60% to 70% of discomfort and diseases. It is said that scientists have solved some secrets of body self-healing at present. When people are unwell or sick, the body can find 30 to 40 kinds of "internal medicine" from its own "medicine field" to treat symptoms. This treatment process is a combination of hormones, immune cells and antibodies.
In fact, a similar thing happened around us: the panel was accidentally broken and bleeding, and the bleeding stopped naturally after a while; In a few days, the wound will scab; A week later, the scab was removed and the panel was flattened. In another month, the panel has been restored to its original appearance without any trace. At this time, you can't find the damaged place. The reason why bleeding can stop on its own is actually because the human body has a natural hemostatic agent-platelets. This proves that the human body has a strong self-repair ability. The self-healing ability of the human body is not limited to such a trivial matter as wound healing. Sometimes, even a terminal illness announced by a doctor may come out of thin air.
In Britain, a boy of 13 years old got leukemia. When the doctor successfully matched him and prepared to transplant his bone marrow, he was surprised to find that his leukemia symptoms had disappeared. He miraculously healed himself! A few weeks ago, the attending doctor thought that if the boy didn't receive a bone marrow transplant, he wouldn't live for a month. The doctor told the boy's family the good news with great joy and suggested that they have regular check-ups. A few months later, the boy's body overcame the disease and the diagnosis was a complete recovery.
This shows that the self-healing function of the human body is very powerful and can even create miracles. Regrettably, most people living in modern civilization have become accustomed to seeking medical advice to resist diseases, often ignoring the strength of the human body itself. In fact, as long as we actively use the self-healing ability of the human body, we can eliminate the pathogenic factors in the body, repair the damaged body and restore health through self-regulation.
Self-healing power is the magic doctor of human body. Many people have had pets such as cats and dogs. When these animals are sick, they will lie there without eating or drinking. In fact, they are on a diet to treat themselves. There is a simple reason. Dieting is to reduce physical strength, because the body needs to consume its own physical strength when digesting food, and dieting can reduce physical consumption and treat diseases with limited physical strength. This is how animals treat themselves with self-healing power.
In fact, people are born with this ability. When we are sick, we all feel that we don't want to eat, which is to treat ourselves with our self-healing power. Therefore, when encountering minor problems such as a cold and fever, try to eat less and drink more water and juice, which will help speed up the recovery of the body.
Self-healing power is both innate and excitable. Here are four ways to improve the body's self-healing ability:
Rest: When you are tired, rest is the most effective way to recover your strength. As the saying goes: three points of governance, seven points of support. It can be seen that the role of parenting is particularly important, which includes adequate rest and regular life. Exercise: Exercise can cure many diseases, especially chronic diseases. But it is very important to choose the exercise mode that suits you. Nutrition: Nutrition is also called "Shui Gu subtle" in Chinese medicine, which refers to the essence that food can be absorbed by human body after digestion and is beneficial to human body. Chinese medicine believes that medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic. So nutrition is very important to the body, especially to the recovering human body. Mentality: man is an animal with body and mind, and body and mind constitute the whole of man. Body is the carrier of mind, and mind is the command of body. If there is something wrong with the command system, the organs of the body will not work well. There are many ways to stimulate self-healing, such as the meridian regimen commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, which is the most prominent example of developing self-healing potential. It is better to seek medical treatment than to seek for yourself. By mastering these methods, we can avoid or reduce the occurrence of diseases, and even eliminate diseases from the source, so as to achieve the goal of curing diseases and consolidating the foundation. In short, we should pay attention to tapping the self-healing potential of the human body, understand the human body, respond flexibly, and work out a health care plan that suits us.
The self-healing ability of a great doctor refers to the natural self-healing ability of the body and the self-regulating ability that everyone has. Therefore, we should not interfere excessively, otherwise it will disrupt the steps of "imperial doctor" and help "imperial doctor".
The self-healing system is innate. Zhang Xian, an encyclopedic scholar, found in the research of medical theory that many living things, including human body, have an innate and spontaneous self-healing system, which enables them to stay healthy and avoid losing their vitality in the physical, chemical and microbial attacks from outside. Therefore, the self-healing system of human body is formed through the baptism of nature for hundreds of millions of years and continuous exercise.
Modern scientific research points out that the self-healing system includes several subsystems, such as defense system, stress system, immune system, repair system and endocrine system. When any subsystem has coordination or functional obstacles, or is destroyed by external factors, the self-healing system will mobilize other subsystems to "replace" and maintain good health. When the compensatory ability of other subsystems is not enough to "replace", people will get sick or be in a sub-health state.
It should be noted that in the process of regulating the body's self-healing system, some physiological activities of the body are often weakened, and even some functions are temporarily shut down to reduce the consumption of nutrients, and nutrients are distributed to the problematic parts of the body. Therefore, this process will cause some symptoms in some parts of the human body, which is actually a physical warning to remind the human body of some imbalances. For example, human fever may remind people that there is inflammation in some places, and fever is a beneficial adjustment made by the self-healing system to cure the human body.
Therefore, the regulation of self-healing system covers the whole human body, and its complexity and precision are incomparable with today's technology. However, although we can't fully understand the language of the body, we can correctly understand the intention of the body. As long as we don't stop, interfere and destroy the normal behavior of the body, we can make full use of our self-healing ability to prevent diseases and keep fit.
