1. Outlook on life: The outlook on life of traditional Chinese medicine holds that life is the most precious thing in the universe, which is made up of five elements of qi and has the process of growth, development, aging and death. The existence of life depends on the rise and fall of qi, which is closely related to the functional activities of the five internal organs. The health and diseases of life are closely related to the functional activities of the five internal organs and the accumulation and dispersion of qi.
2. Health concept: Chinese medicine believes that health is a state of balance between yin and yang in the human body. Balance is relative and dynamic, and the state of yin-yang balance of human body is constantly changing. When the human body is in a state of yin and yang balance, it is healthy and disease-free; When the yin and yang of the human body are unbalanced, it will lead to diseases. Therefore, maintaining the balance between yin and yang is the key to maintaining health.
3. The concept of disease: Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of disease is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body. Exogenous invasion, emotional internal injury, improper diet and other factors may lead to yin-yang imbalance, which may lead to diseases. At the same time, Chinese medicine also emphasizes that healthy qi should be kept inside, and evil should not be done, and thinks that the human body's own immunity is also an important factor in preventing diseases.
4. Etiology: Chinese medicine believes that etiology can be divided into two categories: external cause and internal cause. External causes include six evils (wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire) and furuncle (plague), while internal causes include seven emotions (joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock), improper diet and fatigue. These reasons will lead to the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body, which will lead to diseases.
5. Treatment concept: The treatment concept of traditional Chinese medicine is based on syndrome differentiation. Syndrome differentiation is to identify the etiology, nature, location and the relationship between evil and positive according to the data collected by four diagnostic methods (looking, smelling, asking and pulse), summarize and judge the syndromes of a certain nature, and then give corresponding treatment according to the results of syndrome differentiation.
The main idea of life science view of TCM;
1. Holism: The life science view of TCM holds that the human body is an organic whole, and all organs, tissues, meridians and so on are interrelated and influenced each other. Therefore, in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the relationship between human internal organs and the interaction between human body and the external environment from a holistic perspective.
2. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation: TCM life science emphasizes treatment based on syndrome differentiation, that is, according to the patient's symptoms, signs, tongue and pulse conditions, identify the cause, nature, location and the relationship between evil and positive, and then adopt corresponding treatment methods and drugs according to the results of syndrome differentiation.
3. Balance of Yin and Yang: According to the viewpoint of life science of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a state of balance of Yin and Yang in human body, which will lead to the occurrence of diseases. Therefore, the key to treating diseases is to adjust the balance of yin and yang, so that the body can return to normal physiological state.
4. Strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogens: The life science view of TCM holds that the occurrence of diseases is the result of the struggle between good and evil. To treat diseases, it is necessary to strengthen the body resistance and eliminate pathogens, improve the immunity of the body, and achieve the purpose of treating diseases.
5. Customize according to individual: The life science view of TCM emphasizes tailoring according to individual, that is, making individualized treatment plan according to factors such as patients' age, gender, physique and living habits, so as to improve the treatment effect and reduce adverse reactions.
