Huangdi Neijing classifies Chinese herbal medicines into four categories: big poison, general poison, small poison and non-toxic, which are called "non-toxic". Shennong Herbal Classic contains 365 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, including top grade 120 kinds, which clearly records "non-toxic" and "prolonging life".
At this point, we find that the "yes" of "three drugs are toxic" is not the "yes" of "everything". "Medicine" is not "all medicines". "Three points", some doctors think it means "three points for treatment and seven points for support". Look at the word "poison" again, the meaning of ancient and modern is different. In modern Chinese, "poison" means "harmful"
In ancient times, "poison" had two meanings, one was "harm" and the other was "bias". In most cases, the ancient medical books in the era of Neijing refer to "bias". The ancients believed that as long as it was cold and hot medicine, even if it was toxic, Chinese medicine scholars followed the ancient law, and Chun Liu also followed the meaning of "folk prescription".
In fact, when people are sick, it means that the yin and yang of the human body are unbalanced and biased. Doctors use hot medicine to drive away your cold and cold medicine to clear your fever. Isn't it just to use the bias of medicine to fight against the bias of your body, to rebalance your yin and yang, and to prescribe the right medicine?
Today, with the development of science, the natural environment has changed. Judging from the development trend of diseases, some diseases have an earlier onset age, while others have become more serious. It is nothing new for young people to get senile diseases; It is not uncommon that it is very serious at first onset; Many people can't sleep, fidget, and are in a sub-health state for a long time ... At this time, Chinese medicine can play its role in strengthening the body.
As the saying goes, "A piece of ginger a day needs no prescription" and "A few dates a day won't make you old forever". Ginger and jujube are the most commonly used drugs by Zhang Zhongjing. There are five kinds of drugs in the famous Guizhi Decoction, of which ginger and jujube account for two kinds, which are used to strengthen the spleen and stomach and stimulate yang.
What is even more unimaginable is that someone actually uses "yam" to save patients. According to records, Zhang Xichun, the author of "Medical Fever and Western Learning", successfully treated dying patients with fresh mountain medicine juice for many times. Until today, yam has a good effect on lung, spleen and kidney.
Extended data
In 2002, the Ministry of Health published a list of 87 items that are both food and medicine. Such as papaya, yam, white lentils, jujube, ginger, kelp, fennel, pepper, honey, dandelion and so on. It is both food and medicine, and it is non-toxic.
Someone may have asked, dietotherapy and drug health care are ok, can it cure diseases?
Diet pills are really good, but they can't cure all diseases Not all of these 87 kinds of dietotherapy drugs are as good as yam, only a few generals, and the rest can be regarded as domestic.
Doctors issue prescription drugs, just like fighting a war, paying attention to strategy and tactics. For example, enemies of "acute pneumonia" usually send "Ephedra" as the pioneer, "Gypsum" as the main force, "Almond" to blow up the bunker, order "roasted licorice" to infiltrate the enemy, pretend to be "peacemakers", and sometimes "crows and thieves" are needed to beat it.
Fighting a tough battle requires a variety of "talents", and diet pills alone are far from enough. So, where can we select "talents"?
Compendium of Materia Medica contains 1892 drugs. Chinese materia medica (1999) recorded 8980 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines. Together with the medicines of other ethnic minorities, there are about 12800 kinds of medicinal plants in China at present. Among many drugs, some are poisonous. They are like generals, a little stubborn, but they can turn the tide and win thousands of miles. When the illness is extremely serious and complicated, doctors have to use "the medicine of the tiger and the wolf" and "fight poison with poison".
Some people may ask, can poisoning really cure diseases? The key is whether you can detoxify.
In order not to let everyone be poisoned, the ancestors of past dynasties tried poison with their own bodies and spared their lives. For example, "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and encountered 72 poisons every day, so he got a tea solution." Isn't Li Shizhen a model of his own medical trial? When he tried Datura, he took different doses many times and finally got to know medicine and Datura.
It is precisely because there are countless such outstanding ancestors that the famous "Nineteen Fears" and "Eighteen Contradictions" have clearly told us which drugs can't be overdosed and which drugs can't be used together. Our ancestors also invented the processing method of traditional Chinese medicine. After processing, the toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine was removed and the medicinal properties were retained. Ancestors, with their lives, wrote a perfect detoxification chapter for future generations.
According to the latest statistics of state administration of traditional chinese medicine, there are about12,800 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines in China, including more than 20 kinds of adverse reactions 120, and no more than 50 kinds of serious adverse reactions. There are many drugs that have no side effects, and doctors are non-toxic, so you can use them with confidence.
Nothing in the world is perfect, and so is medicine. Drugs are special and are used to cure diseases and save lives. How can doctors fight without drugs and weapons? Fighting hard requires stronger weapons. The enemy is rampant. If we don't get rid of these diseases soon, they will kill us. The wound will heal sooner or later, and the fighter plane will only lose if it is afraid of injury and delay.
Fighting will inevitably lead to injuries, and there will be risks in treating diseases. Patients and doctors need Qi Xin to work together to fight the virus. Our Chinese medicine is ahead of the world. If we don't use it to strengthen our bodies, we are just idiots.
