People, like other creatures, are inseparable from the natural laws of birth, growth, strength, old age and death. However, human strength can promote growth and development, enhance physical fitness, delay aging, and even avoid premature death. The key lies in active prevention and timely treatment. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was mentioned in Huangdi Neijing: "Sages don't cure diseases, but don't cure them; In other words, when you are not sick, you should prevent the occurrence of diseases. If you are sick, you should treat it as soon as possible to block the development of the disease. People who are good at keeping in good health will often deal with hidden dangers when you are not sick and drive away all kinds of dangerous factors lurking inside and outside your body.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the coordination and unity between man and nature, emphasizes the coordination and unity of all system organizations in the whole body, and takes the theory of "correspondence between man and nature" as the leading thought. It is believed that the healthy qi is hidden in the human body, and the evil can not be done, and the combination of evil causes qi deficiency. It is emphasized that the principles of "preventing diseases before they occur" and "preventing diseases before they occur, and not changing them" vary from person to person, from time to time and from place to place.
The Traditional Way of Health Preservation in the Motherland —— "Clearing and Tonifying"
Health is the basis of longevity, and health means that there are no substances and toxins harmful to the body. At present, people divide people into three categories, one is healthy people accounting for 5%, the other is patients accounting for 15%, and about 80% people are in sub-health state. This sub-health population has no hidden dangers before the onset, but there is no dangerous state of major problems. What people in this period need is to clear the spleen, stomach and intestines. Regulate qi, blood, yin and yang; Supplementing nutritional deficiency; So as to achieve the purpose of prevention and health care.
The human body is an organic whole, and the imbalance of yin and yang will affect the dysfunction of zang-fu organs. If one organ is damaged, other organs will also be affected, resulting in imbalance of human body. Therefore, it is necessary to clean up the unfavorable factors in the body in advance, adjust the balance and supplement nutrition. As the saying goes, "Righteousness exists in the body, evil refers to the normal functional activities and disease resistance of the human body, and evil refers to various pathogenic factors. It causes the dispute between evil and right, destroys the balance of yin and yang in human body, or causes the dysfunction of zang-fu organs and the disorder of qi and blood operation, resulting in a series of pathological changes. If healthy qi is strong and pathogenic factors subside, diseases will often improve and recover. If healthy qi is weak and pathogenic qi is strong, the disease will become more and more serious, even worse and worse.
Healthy culture' correspondence between man and nature'
This shows how important people's health care is at ordinary times. Often when the pathogenic factors lurk in the body without onset, it is easy to ignore them and think that they are in a healthy state. Who knows that the body is like a dam, "the embankment of a thousand miles, collapsed in the ant nest"? Only by removing the latent lesions can the body not be damaged, and people often start to remedy after getting the information of the disease. However, "Rome was not built in a day". If you want to be as solid as ice, you will be able to build a healthy body. First of all, we must understand that people who live in nature rely on the functions of yin and yang and five elements to adjust the balance between man and nature. It is necessary to adjust the balance according to people, time and local conditions in different seasons, regions and times, so as to achieve "harmony between man and nature".
Unity of opposites between yin-yang, five elements and nature
The human body is a unified whole, and everything can't be separated from Yin and Yang. There is a saying that "the solitary yin is not long, and the solitary yang is not born". The world is a material whole, and the world itself is the result of the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang represent opposite and related material properties. Man and nature are inseparable from the five elements-Jin Mu, fire, water and earth. Wood says that the curve rises directly, the lines are smooth, the water is moist, the water is yin, the fire is inflammation, and so on. There is yin in the yang and yang in the yin, for example, water is moist, the water surface is yin, the water surface is yang, and the bottom is yin. This shows the overall concept of unity of opposites between yin and yang and five elements, and between man and nature. Just like the five internal organs of the human body-liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney, in the state of yin and yang, they support and help each other, strengthen the body and prolong life. Any organ affected will involve other organs, just like the five internal organs-gallbladder, large intestine, stomach, small intestine, bladder and triple energizer.
Yin-yang, Five Elements and "Qingdiaobu"
The so-called "wood, fire, earth, gold and water" in the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine are the most basic substances in the world, corresponding to "spring, summer, autumn and winter" in nature and "liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney" in human body. Corresponding measures should be taken to "clear, adjust and supplement" to maintain the balance between human body, ecology and nature. Nowadays, the social environment is seriously polluted, and people who eat whole grains will inevitably absorb some harmful substances, which will endanger their health. Therefore, the spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and preside over the digestion and absorption function of the body. Whether the innate vitality (kidney qi) is sufficient depends on whether the spleen and stomach function is damaged. The energy needed by the human body is absorbed, transported and transported to the whole body by the spleen and stomach, and then the qi and blood of the heart and lungs are adjusted to replenish the vitality of the kidney and prevent the invasion of diseases.
Through the relationship between the five internal organs and the orifices of the body, and the relationship between the five internal organs and the mental activities, we can communicate the relationship between the internal and external environment and maintain its relative balance and coordination. The five elements regulate the five internal organs to achieve balance by generating grams. As far as the five elements are concerned, it can explain the relationship between man and nature, and the relationship between wood, fire, soil and water and human organs, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. Six fu organs, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine and bladder (triple energizer); Five senses, eyes, tongue, nose, mouth and ears; Five seasons, spring and summer, long summer (middle), autumn and winter; Five qi, wind, heat, dampness, dryness and cold; Sour, bitter, sweet and salty; Five in the southeast, middle and northwest; Five ambitions are anger, joy, sadness and fear; Tears, sweat, saliva, saliva and so on.
These phenomena between man and nature provide a clear direction for our medical care.
After understanding the relationship between the five elements and nature, we can analyze possible diseases, and thus deduce the changes of orientation, season, pathogenic factors, viscera and taste, the induction of five senses and nine orifices, and the reflection of nerves, which remind you of the omen of physical changes everywhere, so that you can prevent it, nip in the bud, keep healthy, strengthen your body and prolong your life. This is the uniqueness of the traditional health culture of the motherland.
In short,' clearing up' is the way to keep in good health. Eliminating toxins in the body, regulating internal functions, supplementing balanced nutrition, and achieving the purposes of prevention and health care, strengthening the body and prolonging life are the secrets of the traditional health care of the motherland.
