First, prevention before illness, treatment before illness. In other words, people should actively prevent the occurrence of diseases when they are not sick. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the internal factors of physique with the saying that "healthy qi exists, evil does not act". On the one hand, it puts forward the ways of health preservation, such as "eating moderately, living regularly, not acting rashly" and "keeping the spirit inside and being content with illness". On the other hand, people are required to "adapt to the weather and live in harmony with nature" and actively eliminate pathogenic factors to avoid or reduce their harm to the human body, so as to ensure that they will not get sick or get sick. Prevention before illness coincides with the modern new medical model of "prevention first" It contains rich contents such as recuperating spirit, physical exercise, reasonable diet, timely health preservation and scientific medication.
Second, prevent the disease from changing and treat it at the early stage of the disease. In other words, after getting sick, we should take active measures to prevent the disease from getting worse. Generally speaking, the transformation of disease is a process from the outside to the inside, from light to heavy, from simple to complex. Therefore, in the process of preventing and treating diseases, we must master the occurrence, development and transformation of diseases, so as to make early diagnosis, effective treatment and cure before the disease worsens.
Third, eliminate all evils so that diseases can be cured and prevented. The so-called "prevention after rehabilitation" means that after rehabilitation or stable illness, we should pay attention to preventing recurrence and always grasp the "initiative" of health. After the initial rehabilitation, most patients are weak, which requires doing everything possible to eliminate evil in rehabilitation medicine. In view of the pathological characteristics of patients with deficiency of both qi and blood, deficiency of body fluid, deficiency of both spleen and kidney, blood stasis and phlegm resistance, comprehensive measures are taken to promote the function of viscera to return to normal as soon as possible, so as to recover from pathogenic factors and prevent the recurrence of diseases.
