Bian Que was a very famous imperial doctor in ancient times. According to legend, he has the ability to bring back the dead, and his reputation is far-reaching. But Bian Que's revelation: TCM prevention is greater than cure. Let's look at the importance of disease prevention. Please look down:
According to legend, after Bian Que became famous, King Wen of Wei wanted Bian Que to be "the best doctor in the world", but Bian Que politely refused.
When King Wen of Wei asked why, Bian Que replied, "I have three brothers studying medicine under Chang Sangjun. In terms of medical skills, my eldest brother has the highest medical skills, followed by my second brother, and Bian Que is the worst. "
King Wen of Wei was puzzled and asked, "But your two brothers are not famous, but you are famous all over the world. Why? "
Bian Que replied, "My eldest brother cured the disease before it showed signs, but at this time, the patient didn't notice it. Instead, he felt that it didn't work, so my eldest brother's medical skills were only known within our family. As soon as my second brother showed signs, he treated the disease with mild symptoms and stopped the development of the disease, but the patient didn't know that he thought my second brother could only treat some minor diseases, so he was not famous in the village. In Bian Que, I only know the treatment for serious illness. Patients only saw me cure all kinds of difficult diseases with needles, medicines and other methods, thinking that my medical skills were the highest, so my reputation spread far and wide. But the fact is that my two unknown brothers are the real' Ming doctors', and I am just a world-famous' famous doctor'. "
From Bian Que's modest words, we can easily find that a really clever doctor should be able to foresee the disease before it develops, remove the cause of the disease in advance, and not give the disease a chance to grow, instead of waiting until the disease develops seriously.
In fact, the real function of TCM health care lies in this, that is, to prevent diseases through various effective health care methods. Such as combing hair, knocking teeth, pushing abdomen, chiropractic, acupoint massage, meridian beating and so on. However, even in health care, most people's thoughts still stay on how to treat diseases, not how to prevent them. In fact, everyone knows very well that when the illness develops to a serious level, it will not only cost more medical expenses, but also cause greater pain to the body. Moreover, it may be that the money is spent and the crime is enough, and finally people and money will be exhausted.
If we take effective health care measures to prevent the disease in advance before it happens or just before the symptoms appear, so as to nip the disease in the bud and prevent it from happening or worsening, then the body will have no chance to get sick, neither suffering nor spending more medical expenses, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
However, health also needs to pay a price. Although the best treatment is prevention, the best treatment also needs enough perseverance. Any regimen that can prevent diseases and is beneficial to physical and mental health needs long-term perseverance, otherwise it is impossible to have obvious effects by fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.
