In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the idea of health preservation was further developed. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was also a food doctor who was in charge of the diet of the nobles, guiding the diet conditioning work in many aspects, such as "six drinks, six meals, hundred dishes and hundred sauces", and proposing that the diet conditioning should adapt to the climate of the four seasons; And there are full-time officials in charge of environmental sanitation, such as the "Shuzhang detoxification method"; Chu removed midges from his palm ... and smoked them with weeds'; "Hu Zhuo Zhang gets rid of water bugs" to make the water clean.
Food necessary for life; Warming food can warm yang and help fire, improve the symptoms of chills, and thus enhance physical fitness, such as yin deficiency and internal heat. Eating more food will aggravate yang heat and get angry, resulting in dry throat, toothache, bleeding gums, constipation and other symptoms; Cold food can clear fire, such as yang deficiency and cold constitution. Eating too much will aggravate the coldness of the body and lead to diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Therefore, even if you are weak, you can't blindly "make up". There are many kinds of physical deficiency, and each deficiency syndrome has targeted tonic, tonic and food. Inconsistency between medicine and syndrome will not only be ineffective but also have side effects.
Myth 4: There is no empty and blind "seeking compensation"
Nowadays, due to the wide spread of the media, the propaganda of the magical and effective functions of various "tonics" in advertisements is often exaggerated. People are seeking compensation, and there are many people who are not "empty". There is no tonic in the world that can cure diseases and protect health without getting sick. Throughout the ages, people who violate the law of "deficiency is tonic" and ask for tonic drugs to attract trouble abound. Such as ginseng, which is called tonic in Chinese medicine, is the best tonic for calming the heart and improving intelligence, benefiting the lung and strengthening the spleen. In case of heart failure, shock, bleeding, physical weakness, impotence and other symptoms, ginseng does have the effect of medicine to remove the disease. But if the supplement is not symptomatic, it will be uncomfortable and fatal.

Misunderstanding of tonifying kidney in TCM People may have some misunderstandings about TCM. For example, they think that seeing TCM means eating TCM, which has a slow curative effect and is only used to treat serious diseases or incurable diseases. These concepts are actually some misunderstandings. Chinese medicine is closely related to us and can be used in all aspects of our lives. Let's summarize some misunderstandings about Chinese medicine in daily life for your reference. Myth 1: Seeing Chinese medicine means eating Chinese medicine.
Chinese medicine refers to the traditional medicine in China, that is, Chinese medicine. It bears the accumulation of 5,000 years of medical culture in China, and brings together the experience and knowledge of ancient people in fighting diseases. Under the guidance of ancient naive materialism and spontaneous dialectics, it has gradually formed and developed into a medical theoretical system through long-term clinical practice.
Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the theories of yin and yang, five elements, qi and blood, body fluid and five internal organs. Qi, blood, body fluid and essence are part of human body. Through the four methods of looking, listening, asking and cutting, the etiology and pathogenesis are analyzed, the symptom types are determined, and the treatment law is established. Then through Chinese medicine, acupuncture, daily routine, eating habits and other Chinese medicine therapies to guide, treat or regulate the body. This shows that Chinese medicine, as the quintessence of China, has a huge and perfect system; As a discipline, Chinese medicine has various sub-disciplines, so it is not the same as eating Chinese medicine. In addition to eating Chinese herbal medicines, Chinese medicine has many methods, such as acupuncture, cupping, massage, medicated bath, scraping, dietotherapy and so on, and the curative effect is very good.
Myth 2: Traditional Chinese medicine has slow curative effect.
Many people think that Chinese medicine is slow to take effect. In fact, Chinese medicine is the macro way, while western medicine is the micro way. Western medicine is more what you see is what you get, while Chinese medicine is to eliminate evil and consolidate the foundation. In addition, Chinese medicine is very effective in treating some emergencies. For example, acupuncture is often effective in the treatment of acute pain, and even in the rescue of acute diseases, Chinese medicine has a unique effect, such as from ancient Huatuo acupuncture anesthesia to Shenfu decoction to rescue patients with heart failure. Therefore, Chinese medicine should change "dispersing" into long-term curative effect.
Myth 3: Chinese medicine is not good for western medicine.
Chinese medicine is not a "life-saving straw"
Some patients only think of looking for Chinese medicine when the curative effect of western medicine is not good, and regard Chinese medicine as a "life-saving straw". At this time, if the curative effect of Chinese medicine is not good, it is considered that Chinese medicine is not good. In fact, Chinese medicine can intervene in many diseases from the beginning, so the effect will be better. For example, diabetes, western medicine treatment of diabetes, mostly diet control, insulin injection. However, diabetes is a "thirst-quenching disease" in traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment method needs clearing stomach and purging fire, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, supplemented by dietotherapy, so as to be effective. It can be seen that the treatment of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine mostly starts from the whole and regulates the functions of zang-fu organs, so as to achieve the effect of keeping yin and calming down the secrets and filling qi and blood.
Myth 4: Western medicine nutrition equals Chinese medicine diet therapy.
Western nutrition attaches great importance to and emphasizes the acidity and alkalinity of food, not by taste, but by whether the final metabolite of food is acidic or alkaline after metabolic transformation in the body. It is used to control diet and ultimately achieve the goal of balancing physical fitness.
Chinese dietotherapy is to prevent and treat diseases by using foods with the same origin of medicine and food, so as to promote the recovery of the sick body.
Traditional Chinese medicine dietotherapy nursed back to health according to the qi of food, treating people as adults, and paying attention to weather, location and harmony; Follow the four seasons and eat seasonal food. Use food to regulate the body and achieve the purpose of balancing yin and yang.
Myth 5: TCM health care has nothing to do with young people.
Chinese medicine is indispensable for keeping young people healthy.
Nowadays, many young people think that keeping in good health with Chinese medicine is a matter for the elderly, but this is completely wrong. Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation refers to a method to support life, enhance physical fitness and prevent diseases through various methods, so as to achieve longevity. TCM health care mainly includes: 1, meridian health care; 2. Good health; 3, four seasons health; 4. Drug health; 5. Living and keeping healthy; 6. Healthy diet; 7. Sleep well; 8, emotional health and other content. TCM health preservation lies in harmonizing yin and yang, dredging qi and blood, and ensuring human health. Modern people are under great pressure, busy with work, irregular in life, and sub-health is getting younger and younger, so it is essential for people of any age to keep fit.
