Huangdi Neijing first put forward the concept of TCM health preservation of "preventing diseases". "The doctor who goes to the hospital for treatment before the disease occurs, and the doctor who goes to the hospital for treatment after the disease occurs", that is, the doctor with the best medical skills is not a person who is good at treating diseases, but a person who can prevent diseases. It can be seen that prevention is always more important than cure in Chinese medicine. With the development of society and the change of objective environment, the idea of "prevention before illness" in traditional Chinese medicine has gradually become the development trend of world medicine and has been paid more and more attention. It has become the common aspiration of mankind to prevent diseases and maintain a healthy life.
Based on years of profound research on Chinese medicine culture and insight into the development trend of modern medicine, Huaxia Xianbao has established a unique life and health management concept of "preventing diseases" with Chinese medicine characteristics, and formed an effective systematic and scientific health management system through the existing research and development strength of Chinese medicine, that is, Huaxia Xianbao health culture. China should take health preservation as the first priority, adhere to the healthy cultural values of "medical ethics and health preservation first", explore the core source of Chinese medicine health culture with modern science and technology, correct the value orientation of Chinese medicine theory, establish and spread the health consciousness of "health preservation first", improve people's quality of life and shape a healthy life.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory divides the health status of the population into three types: first, health is not morbid; Second, the desire for disease is not morbid; Third, the disease has not spread. Huaxia Xianbao adheres to the health concept of "preventing diseases", which covers three states of life and health. Huaxia Xianbao believes that the "prevention of disease" in traditional Chinese medicine focuses on treatment, not simply "prevention". "Governance" means management and governance. Treatment before illness means taking appropriate measures to maintain health, achieving the life and health management goal of "treatment before illness, prevention before illness" and ensuring the continuity and stability of life and health.
In the thousands of years of historical development of Chinese medicine culture, it has always been accompanied by "Chinese medicine". Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the main force to promote the continuous prosperity and progress of TCM culture, and it is also an important carrier of TCM cultural influence and life and health achievements. It is also the key means of TCM health care and treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine was originally named "Materia Medica". In Cain's early Chinese medicine, grasses accounted for the vast majority. With the continuous expansion of the types of Chinese medicine, Materia Medica is still the best representative of Chinese medicine, and has gradually formed a "herbal culture" that relies on Chinese medicine culture and continues to prosper.
Health-preserving culture comes first, that is, it is necessary to realize the effective spread of TCM disease prevention thought through herbal textual research, and realize the ideal realm of "keeping Chinese people's lives and health first" through "promoting traditional Chinese herbal medicine culture".
As the cultural core of TCM holistic view and dialectical treatment, herbal health preservation is essentially different from the spiritual cultivation advocated by Taoism. Especially for modern people, the intake of different elements, the change of natural environment and the increase of life pressure have become the most important health killers of human beings. Herbal health care lies in the consumption of the essence of herbs and the dissolution of chemicals ingested by the human body, so that the human body can achieve the ideal state of inhibiting pathological changes and restoring health. In this sense, herbal health preservation is more in line with modern medical theory, more scientific, practical and feasible.
As the first brand of TCM health based on "gathering the essence of materia medica and creating life health", Huaxia Xianbao combines the life concept of TCM with the health concept of TCM, and creates a brand-new prevention system at the level of "pre-illness prevention, post-illness prevention and post-illness prevention" with TCM research. Through the combination of "Dao" and "Shu" in Chinese medicine culture, the most attractive theoretical system features of Chinese medicine: holistic view and treatment based on syndrome differentiation, this paper summarizes the scientific application value of "Materia Medica" in the process of "preventing diseases" and returns to the cultural origin of Chinese herbal medicine, especially the concept of "preventing diseases" in Chinese medicine.
