Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached importance to the prevention of diseases. Huangdi Neijing first put forward the concept of "preventing diseases". In Su Wen's theological theory of four tones, he put forward: "Therefore, it is said that saints are not cured, but not cured. This is also called. Husband's illness became medicine, and chaos became a cure. For example, it is not too late to cross the well and fight for the cone, which vividly points out the importance of "preparing for a rainy day". Sun Simiao, a doctor in the Tang Dynasty, put forward that "the doctor is not sick, the Chinese medicine wants to be sick, and the doctor is sick". In addition, state administration of traditional chinese medicine clearly requires that all Chinese medicine hospitals above the second level should set up a "prevention of disease" department, and the sub-health population with high physical examination indicators will be intervened by the "prevention of disease" department of Chinese medicine.
Preventive treatment refers to taking preventive or therapeutic measures to prevent the occurrence and development of diseases. The principle of inclusion has the following aspects: 1. Prevention before illness means doing all kinds of preventive work before the disease occurs to prevent the occurrence of the disease. It is mainly to keep the healthy qi in the body abundant and vigorous, and to achieve a healthy state of "keeping healthy qi inside, and evil can't be done". 2. If you want to get sick first, in accordance with the principle of "evil lurks to prevent hair", when the disease is about to happen, you should carry out health care, supplemented by appropriate treatment measures, eliminate hidden dangers, and maintain the balance of Yin and Yang and physical and mental harmony. 3. Prevention before illness means that if a disease has occurred, it should be diagnosed and treated as early as possible to prevent the development and spread of the disease. 4. Prevention and rehabilitation after illness, in accordance with the principle of "focusing on regulation and treatment, supplemented by treatment", take measures to eliminate lingering pathogens, restore the vitality of the body and promote the recovery of the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine advocates maintaining the balance of yin and yang of human body through diet, exercise and mental adjustment, so as to achieve the purpose of "keeping the spirit inside, obeying the true qi" and "keeping the healthy qi inside, not doing evil". The main thing to do is: 1, balance yin and yang, which is the starting point and destination of "preventing diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine. Huangdi Neijing mentioned that "Yin and Yang are the way of heaven and earth, the discipline of all things, the changing parents, the foundation of life and death, and the home of all gods". 2, adjust the mind, the root of Chinese medicine "treating disease before it happens" should start with "nourishing the mind". In Huangdi Neijing, there is a saying that "nothing is indifferent, the true qi follows, the god hides inside, and the disease is safe." 3, regulating diet and daily life, this is the best policy of "treating disease before it happens". Huangdi Neijing once said, "Yin has five flavors; Five flavors of yin and five houses are injured. " Food can cause diseases as well as cure diseases. 4, strengthen exercise, regular exercise at ordinary times, can promote blood circulation, smooth qi circulation, thereby enhancing physical fitness and preventing diseases. 5, adapt to the four seasons, emphasizing that individuals must adapt to natural climate changes in order to avoid diseases. 6, drug prevention, the advantage of Chinese medicine in treating sub-health lies in syndrome differentiation and comprehensive conditioning. 7. Acupuncture and massage can regulate qi and blood and restore yin and yang.
