Pay attention to health. We usually go to treatment after we get sick.
If the method of "preventing diseases" in TCM can help us live a healthier and better life, it is worth learning.
So what is the "prevention of disease" of Chinese medicine?
The simple understanding of "prevention before illness" means prevention before illness to reduce the occurrence of diseases. It can also be understood as turning the corner.
In addition, it also means that it is relatively disease-free, and the disease is in the early stage, and the patient does not notice it, which belongs to the latent disease stage. This treatment is also called disease prevention. At this time, the treatment method is to make it big and small, and to make it difficult and easy.
In the first volume of synopsis of the golden chamber, the first sentence at the beginning is that the Yellow Emperor asked his teacher Zeebe: Do you go to work to treat diseases? What is this?
The teacher explained: What is the best doctor who can cure the disease before it happens? For example, doctors know that patients have liver problems, understand meridian conduction, and know that diseases will spread from the liver to the spleen, so they must first replenish the spleen. What about ordinary doctors? He treats headaches and foot pains.
In addition, human diseases can be roughly summarized into three types:
First, the channels and collaterals were affected by the wind and introduced into the five internal organs, without timely treatment. Then something went wrong with the internal organs.
Second, blood vessels are blocked.
Third, irregular work and rest, excessive sexual life, being hurt by sharp weapons, insect bites or wild animals.
How does Chinese medicine treat diseases before they occur?
In view of the first point, if you get cold, wind and heat outside, and your limbs just feel heavy, stuffy nose and headache, then use exercise, guidance, breathing, acupuncture, massage and other methods to drive the wind out of the body and restore health.
Don't hurt your body at will, try to avoid insect bites and animal injuries, causing physical trauma.
Work and rest regularly and eat healthy food.
Don't do illegal things, have moderate sex life, keep a calm mind, etc. , so that the blood flows smoothly. Only in this way can we stay healthy and achieve real "disease prevention". ?
From this point of view, prevention is more important than treatment, and the most important thing is to adjust the psychology.
Angry people are in poor health. If a person's mood fluctuates frequently and his mentality is unstable, it will affect his health for a long time. Therefore, it is still good to keep in good health with the "prevention of disease" of traditional Chinese medicine.
