Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation refers to a medical activity that supports life, strengthens physique and prevents diseases through various methods, so as to prolong life. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to integrity and systematicness, aiming at preventing and treating diseases before they happen. The famous representative work of TCM theory is Huangdi Neijing.
After the founding of New China, President Mao Zedong put forward the instruction of integrating traditional Chinese and western medicine. On the surface, this is still a medical development under politics. The reason behind this is that under the constant impact of modern medicine, Chinese medicine has not really lost its market.
The therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on many diseases has become the therapeutic basis of its existence. The complete system of TCM conforms to the thinking mode of China people, which has become the cultural basis of TCM, or because of the existence of TCM culture. The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is mainly manifested in the independent application of traditional Chinese and western medicine technology in clinic.
First, the health concept of harmony between man and nature. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heaven and earth are the big universe, human body is the small universe, and man and nature are interlinked. People are always unaffected by heaven and earth, just like fish in water, water is fish, and the change of water will definitely affect fish. Similarly, changes in everything in the world will affect people. Therefore, TCM health care emphasizes the unity of man and nature, and the methods of health care are cold, hot and cold with the climate change of the four seasons, which should be adjusted appropriately.
Second, a healthy concept of balance between yin and yang. People with a balance of yin and yang are the healthiest people, and the goal of health preservation is to achieve a balance of yin and yang in body and mind. What is Yin? Yin is the material basis of the body. What is Yang? Yang is energy, and Yin and Yang are relative. Everything that is upward, outward, active and feverish belongs to Yang.
Everything that is downward, inward and cold belongs to yin. The reason why the body is sick is because of the imbalance of yin and yang, which leads to yang excess or yin excess, yin deficiency or yang deficiency. As long as we try to reduce too many prescriptions, increase too few prescriptions, and restore the original balance of yin and yang, the disease will naturally disappear. Therefore, TCM health care highly emphasizes the balance of yin and yang and healthy life.
Third, the holistic view of body and mind. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to both body and mind, not only to the exercise and maintenance of the tangible body, but also to the cultivation and recuperation of the mind. The body will affect the mind, and the mind will also affect the body. They are two sides of a whole, and they are indispensable.
