No matter in clinic or life, someone always asks me, "Shen Lao, you are almost 80, and you are still in good health and look good." Is there any exclusive health secret? " Can you teach us two tricks? "Some friends are imaginative and think that Chinese medicine must have a' heirloom' for themselves, so someone always asks me for their imaginary' panacea'.

I often say to them with a smile, "The secret is not that there is no panacea. In fact, the most important thing is to rely on daily health. "

This sentence is from the heart. Like most people, we Chinese medicine practitioners eat whole grains and occasionally have a minor illness, but we will maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body, care for the internal organs, adjust our mentality and emotions, and keep ourselves away from serious illness and prolong life through health preservation. To put it bluntly, it is to "prevent and treat diseases" through health preservation.

Everything has a cause and effect. Medically, what is a disease? Being sick is the result, and your long-term wrong habits and lifestyle are the cause. Without that "cause", there would be no "fruit" of the disease. Right? To put it simply, the wind blows me when I sleep today, and I will have diarrhea the next day. This is an obvious causal relationship.

But some causality is not obvious, or many people don't notice it at all. This is what I want to talk about in this book. You have formed all kinds of habits in your life. These habits are like toxins lurking in your body. I can't see it for a day or two, but over time, more and more toxins develop into diseases. Refractory chronic diseases, gynecological diseases, cancer and many other diseases come from this way.

Some people can't help themselves, knowing that some eating habits and lifestyles are not suitable for them. This is "looking for a disease". It's what I always say, "If you don't look for a disease, the disease won't look for you." "nip in the bud" is actually to get rid of the "cause" of illness and let you really stay away from the disease from the source.

Since the establishment of Shen Shi Gynecology Department, all previous dynasties have paid attention to the way of "prevention before illness". While seeing a doctor to save lives, I spared no effort to convey this correct concept of health care to the public, and I also got good feedback and established a good reputation.

Why does "prevention before illness" have such a prominent effect? Everyone should look at it from two aspects: on the one hand, the key point of "preventing diseases" is to regulate the body through health preservation, keep the body's qi and blood unobstructed, balance yin and yang, and strengthen the five internal organs. Only by maintaining a good physical condition can we have a strong ability to resist diseases.

On the other hand, the focus of "preventing diseases" is to prevent the occurrence of diseases through health preservation. For example, women with stagnation of liver-qi, on the surface, are only stagnation of liver-qi, but in the long run, long-term stagnation of liver-qi will lead to breast hyperplasia and even cancer. Once that time comes, the disease will become very difficult to treat. In the long run, health care also has the function of "preventing diseases".

This is the case with TCM health preservation, and the reason is not difficult to understand. As long as you study hard and practice more, you can learn many principles and methods of TCM health preservation, and realize the happiness of getting rid of illness and strengthening your body and prolonging your life.

Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years, extensive and profound. There are many ways to preserve health in traditional Chinese medicine, such as diet therapy, massage scraping, acupuncture, physical therapy and so on. It is highly targeted, safe and effective, and has little side effects on people, which is recognized all over the world.

Every year, you can meet students from many countries in the world who come to study Chinese medicine. They came out of interest, but they found the amazing curative effect of Chinese medicine here. I believe they will carry forward Chinese medicine and benefit people all over the world.

So I often say to my patients, friends and relatives around me, "Instead of waiting until I get sick before I go to the hospital, I'd better think more about how I can not get sick." In fact, the practice is very simple, that is, you usually learn some health care methods with Chinese medicine to prevent and treat diseases and keep fit. This is the key to keep you away from the disease. "

The full name of Shen's gynecology is Shanghai Dachang Shen's gynecology. From the early Ming Dynasty to the present, 2 1 generation has been passed down from generation to generation, with a history of more than 600 years. Since18th generation of Mr. Shen Xiangzhi, Shen Shi Gynecology has expanded the scope of diagnosis and treatment, covering pediatrics, surgery, tumor, skin, orthopedics, anorectal, facial features and other disciplines, and developed into a general practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

I believe that people nowadays are pursuing a good job, a good image, a good study, a good family, good feelings and good friends, but there is no guarantee of good health. No matter how good others are, they are like castles made of sand, which fall down at the touch.
