In fact, if we look at the medical records of Chinese medicine in history, we will find that Chinese medicine can treat major diseases, critical diseases, malignant diseases and emergencies. Why not do it now? There is not much difference between going to see Chinese medicine and western medicine now. First, prescribe some prescriptions for routine examination of western medicine, and let you have intravenous drip or surgery for serious illness. The treatment of pure Chinese medicine is rare. Some people say that the dosage of traditional Chinese medicine is the secret of traditional Chinese medicine. Less can't be cured, and more can have side effects. The recent archaeological excavations of Han dynasty weights and measures also confirmed the difference between ancient and modern drugs. Others say that many things have been lost because the inheritance of modern Chinese medicine has changed from apprenticeship to college.
I think all the above statements have some truth. But I also want to mention one thing, that is, the physical differences caused by different living habits of ancient and modern people:
? 1, air conditioning. People's clothes are getting less and less, especially women. Wearing the least clothes in summer, the skin is exposed to cold air conditioning; Wear as little clothes as possible in winter and be exposed to the cold weather outside. This is the small environment outside the body has changed.
2, diet. Due to the popularity of refrigerators. People like to drink ice water, frozen drinks and cold drinks, even in winter. In this way, the small environment inside the human body has changed for a long time.
3. Sleep. Chinese medicine believes that at night 1 1 to morning 1, the human body is full of yang and needs sleep. Modern people have a rich nightlife and play all night.
? 4. Sexual intercourse. Influenced by Confucianism, the ancients set up chastity archways, and even Chinese medicine health books have many commandments about sexual intercourse. Nowadays, not only is it unrestrained, but all kinds of underground hair salons are also full of yellow places, which are repeatedly banned.
? 5. Work pressure. In ancient times, agriculture was valued over commerce, the competition in agricultural society was small, and interpersonal relationships were relatively harmonious. All ancient poems, paintings and calligraphy mostly show leisure. Modern pure money society and material society have fierce competition and great pressure. Together, these five points can be described as a disease of the times.
As we know, in recent hundreds of years, the medical field in China has been occupied by the theory of febrile diseases of traditional Chinese medicine. The aim of the school of epidemic febrile diseases is just as Zhu Danxi said in Gezhiyun that "Yang is more than enough, but Yin is insufficient". Everyone likes to use cold products to nourish Yin, but hates products that warm and nourish Yang. Therefore, Yinqiao, Sangju and Liuwei are popular, and Siwei and Gui Jiang are abandoned.
Dialectics is the soul of TCM. Due to different living habits, great changes have taken place in the physique of ancient and modern people. Modern people can completely say that "yin is more than enough, and yang is insufficient", and it is urgent to help the human body to be yang. If you still use drugs for febrile diseases, it is inevitable that the symptoms will not be cured, and it will become a slow cure. At the moment when many schools of traditional Chinese medicine are declining, the rise of Vulcan school is worth waiting for. Seriously speaking, Vulcan school is one of the hopes of Chinese medicine in this era.
