Shaolin Temple, the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, the birthplace of Shaolin Wushu and Zen medicine.
At the beginning of Shaolin Temple. Due to its status as a royal temple, Shaolin Temple has a hundred hectares of fertile land and hundreds of temples. All monks meditate all day, cultivate self-cultivation, drive away distractions, eliminate confusion, calm their minds and settle their minds. However, sitting for a long time has affected the blood circulation of monks, leading to poor tendons and veins and long-term blood stasis. Not only does it affect the body, but it is also difficult to deal with the threat of wild animals and thieves in the mountains. As a result, monks began to learn Zen while practicing martial arts, and made full use of Songshan's rich medicinal resources, absorbed folk medical methods, accumulated experience in drug use, and gradually formed many secret recipes. While practicing martial arts, the monks in the temple found that many martial arts have dual functions of fitness and medical treatment, and gradually deduced qigong therapy, massage therapy and acupoint therapy. Shaolin medicine has formed a unique Shaolin Zen medicine from surgery to internal medicine, from treating falls and injuries to treating all diseases. According to the records of Shaolin monks, Master Hou once took Song Shen to make soup to nourish his body. Another disciple, Hui Guang, cured a comatose patient with an iron needle.
Hui Ke, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism, sought the dharma by breaking his arm, recuperated at the alms bowl peak, and all the monks collected medicine for treatment. To the founder of Dharma, the eminent monks of past dynasties practiced Zen, and at the same time learned the "five Ming" of Buddhism. The "medical prescription" was the most cherished and passed down from generation to generation, with words and secrets. Hong Wen Zen Master in Song Dynasty was good at orthopedics, and used acupuncture and cupping to relieve patients' pain. He wrote the secret recipe of cupping after acupuncture, and passed on his skills to monks in Jue Yuan before his death. Monks in Jue Yuan have made deep research on internal medicine, and the miraculous records of internal medicine in Shaolin Temple have been handed down from generation to generation. Hui Ding in Yuan Dynasty was honored as a Shaolin imperial doctor, and he wrote Outline of Shaolin Orthopaedics and Manual of Shaolin Medicine Pill Powder. Huiju has been acupuncture at 90 Shen Xue point.
It is the clinical essence of acupuncture points and is based on the experience of monks and doctors before Yuan Dynasty. There were famous monk doctors in Ming Dynasty, such as Benming, Huanxiu and Zhengdao. In the Qing Dynasty, with the decline of Wushu, medical skills also declined, among which Zhan Ju, Ji Qin and Zhen Jun were famous. "Joe therapy": it mainly treats diseases according to the principle that the five internal organs and the seven orifices of the hundred veins run through the whole body.
Although the physiological functions of the five internal organs are different, the heart is the master of human life activities and occupies the primary position in the viscera. If the heart is strong, the blood can run normally in the meridians of the whole body, and it is endless and nourishes the whole body. Deficiency of heart qi, insufficiency of qi and blood, and unfavorable meridians will inevitably lead to poor circulation of qi and blood or empty blood vessels, and symptoms such as palpitation and weak pulse will appear. Deficiency of heart qi is caused by human body's own qi depression. Depression can replenish the heart and dredge the blood vessels. The human body is an organic whole, and the connection of this whole is centered on the five internal organs of heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney, connected with the seven orifices and reaching the whole body. The seven orifices of the human body, the five clear orifices on the eyes, nose, mouth and ears and the two turbid orifices under the body, reach the whole body and control all the access of the human body. When using "Qiao therapy", Chinese herbal medicine water prepared by ourselves is mainly used to dredge the orifices of human body, or a little Chinese herbal medicine can be inhaled quantitatively from nasal cavity every day, supplemented by rubbing orifices and appropriate amount of Chinese herbal medicine decoction, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving depression, dredging orifices and clearing orifices. There is no serious illness in the general principle of big orifices, and there is no disease in the general principle of hundred orifices. Tongqiao is the way to cure all diseases, and Tongqiao can cure all diseases.
At the same time, pay attention to the way of health preservation and choose a reasonable diet, that is, health preservation and dietotherapy are the basis of disease prevention and all methods of treating diseases. Like Chinese medicine, Zen doctors diagnose and grasp patients' diseases by looking, listening, asking and feeling.
Observe the abnormal changes of the patient's body, color, shape, posture and tongue picture with eyes, and judge the nature and location of the disease. Hearing diagnosis includes listening to sounds and smells, listening to the patient's voice, breathing, cough, bowel sounds and so on. And sniff out all kinds of smells from patients;
Consultation is to ask the patient or accompany the doctor to understand the condition and the situation related to the disease;
Pulse diagnosis is that doctors touch, touch and press the patient's body surface with their fingers to obtain diagnostic data from the body surface. On this basis, people pay more attention to listening and smelling. Listening mainly refers to listening to the patient's voice, breathing and wheezing, and understanding the qi of his viscera. Smelling incense mainly refers to smelling the turbidity of gas in a patient's body within a certain distance, understanding the qi of his spleen and stomach, so as to understand the pathology and diagnose the patient's disease. Some diseases can only be diagnosed by looking, hearing, asking and touching, and some also need to be diagnosed by "four diagnosis combined with reference". In short, everyone's physical characteristics, living environment and living habits are different, and the causes and symptoms also have their own characteristics. Appropriate treatment must be taken according to the person, disease, time and place in order to achieve better curative effect. Man is the unity of body and spirit. Good health refreshed him. On the other hand, depression will make him sick.
