Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years and is a part of China's outstanding national cultural heritage. Let me introduce it to you, I hope it will be useful to you!

1 TCM concept of health preservation, the integrity of the human body

Chinese medicine believes that all parts of the human body are organically linked. Firstly, the twelve fu organs are regarded as twelve functions, which are called "twelve officials"; It is also divided into six zang-organs: heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, pericardium, six fu-organs, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and triple energizer, which are functionally combined with one zang-organs and one fu-organs, and are called "exterior-interior".

This kind of induction and division of internal organs does not mean that they are fragmented. On the contrary, physiological activities or pathological changes are understood as inseparable relationships with each other. This relationship is not only manifested in the zang-fu organs, but also in the organs and tissues of the body.

For example, the heart governs the pulse tongue, the liver governs the musculocutaneous order, the spleen governs the meat mouth, the lung governs the fur nose, and the kidney governs the bone ear; Another example is that the spleen governs the limbs, the kidney governs the two stools, and so on. All these explain the function of zang-fu organs and the relationship between zang-fu organs and the body. More importantly, the whole body is distributed through the meridian system, which becomes the contact route between the body and the body surface, so that the human body can maintain the internal and external related whole in function.

Because of this, when treating visceral diseases, we should not only treat one visceral organ or even a diseased visceral organ, but also treat other visceral organs to cure it. For example, stomach diseases and lung diseases can be treated from the spleen and stomach, which indirectly enhances the resistance of the lungs. It is particularly obvious that regional diseases are often cured by treating internal organs.

Concept of TCM health preservation II. Human body and climate

Everything in nature, especially the survival and development of living things, is directly affected by the objective environment.

Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to this relationship and believes that human health and climate are inseparable and must adapt to the natural environment in order to live a long life without disease. Therefore, find out the characteristics of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the changing rules of six different climates in the four seasons, and point out how to adapt to the objective environment and the diseases that may be incurred after violating climate change. According to these principles, the methods of diagnosis and treatment are analyzed and deduced.

For example, untimely, that is, spring should be warm but cold or hot, that is, unhealthy tendencies, that is, the so-called "virtual evil thief wind", must be avoided in time. As for the regular changes in the climate of the four seasons, it is beneficial to the human body and is called "righteousness".

Therefore, normal climate changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter are often used to recuperate and treat diseases. Take a simple case as an example. Cough caused by phlegm in the elderly is mild in spring and summer and aggravated in autumn and winter. The reason is yang deficiency of spleen and kidney, and dampness condenses into phlegm. Warm medicine is often used in clinic, and it is advocated to use the peak period of yang in summer to regulate and prevent it.

Another example is patients with blood deficiency and hyperactivity of liver yang. In spring, they are prone to dizziness, brain swelling, dizziness, tinnitus and mental fatigue. The occurrence of this symptom is closely related to the climate, so nourishing in winter can prevent the chance of onset. From these examples, we can know that Chinese medicine pays great attention to the mutual adaptation of internal and external environment for health preservation and treatment.

The concept of TCM health preservation. The human body and the earth are suitable.

Different soil and water, different living habits, will produce different diseases. China is a vast country with a cold climate in the northwest, high and dry land, mild climate in the southeast and low and wet land. So different regions often have different symptoms. That's what the so-called "suit the time, suit the people and suit local conditions" means.

Traditional Chinese medicine concept of health preservation. others

Traditional Chinese medicine also attaches great importance to the strength of endowment, obese physique, cheerful, melancholy and impatient temperament, and the spirit of * * *, which has a great relationship with the occurrence and development of diseases and must be considered in treatment.

It is an important principle of TCM therapeutics to adapt to the time, place and person. Experts predict that 2 1 century will be a century of self-care. The so-called self-care means that the people have the knowledge and ability to deal with their own lives and some minor injuries and illnesses according to the requirements of medical science. This is the result of improving people's medical education level and the ultimate goal of health education.

Traditional health care can run through everyone's life, from pregnancy to old age, and there are health care contents in every age stage. In addition, people need to stay healthy when they are not sick, when they are sick, and after rehabilitation. Not only that, there are also corresponding health care measures for people with different constitutions, sexes and regions. Therefore, the scope of application of TCM health care is very wide, which should arouse people's great attention, popularize it in an all-round way, raise their awareness of health care, regard health care as an important part of life activities, popularize TCM health care culture, and let us all become health workers in our own families!
