First, the content of preventive treatment
Nip in the bud means taking various measures to prevent and reduce diseases, alleviate human suffering and improve the quality of life.
The contents of disease prevention include the following aspects: 1. Building a harmonious society: all kinds of social contradictions have caused the most extensive physical and mental pain to human beings throughout history, so actively promoting the establishment of a harmonious society and reducing social contradictions are the most fundamental ways to prevent diseases, which is also the general development direction of human society; 2. Planned immunization: Planned immunization can actively stimulate the body to produce antibodies against certain diseases, which is the most effective means to prevent certain diseases and has now developed into an independent discipline; 3, in addition to the four pests: that is, by eliminating flies, mosquitoes, fleas, mice and other pests. Eliminating transmission routes and preventing diseases require the participation of the whole society; 4, pay attention to the spleen and stomach: it is to supplement the righteousness, increase the body's disease resistance, strong disease resistance, and naturally less disease. There is a lot of room for doctors.
Second, Chinese medicine pays attention to nourishing the spleen and stomach and strengthening the body resistance before treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine has always paid attention to treating diseases before they occur. "Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" said: "No treatment, no treatment. If you don't treat it, it will be chaotic, and you won't be chaotic. ? Husband's illness became medicine, and chaos became a cure. Isn't it too late to cross the well for the cone? " . I have always believed that "a doctor who can cure the disease before going to work", that is to say, a doctor who can cure the disease first is a really good doctor. Chinese medicine has made positive and significant contributions in four aspects of disease prevention, among which strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach and strengthening the body resistance are the characteristics of Chinese medicine in disease prevention.
How does Chinese medicine treat diseases before they occur? "Difficult? It is clearly pointed out in "seventy-seven difficulties": "The so-called person who treats the disease before it, seeing the disease of his liver, knows that his liver should be transmitted to the spleen, so he first consolidates his temper and suffers from the evil of his liver without orders, so he says that he treats the disease before it. "This passage gives us an example of how Chinese medicine can treat diseases before they occur. For example, if you meet a patient with liver disease, you should think that liver disease is a chronic disease, which will definitely affect the function of the spleen and stomach during the development of the disease. Therefore, you should immediately give the patient drugs to tonify the spleen and stomach, so as not to damage the patient's spleen and stomach function. This is the way to nip in the bud.
Why is it called disease prevention? Because at this time, I only saw the liver disease, but I didn't see the spleen and stomach disease. But doctors know from experience that the development of the disease will definitely damage the function of the spleen and stomach, so taking drugs in advance before the symptoms of the spleen and stomach disease appear obviously. This is a preventive treatment, so it is called preventing the disease.
Is it possible to replenish the spleen and stomach in advance only when treating liver diseases? I think it's more than that. The liver disease mentioned here is just an example, which represents all chronic diseases. In essence, when treating chronic diseases, we should think that such diseases will definitely damage the spleen and stomach for a long time, and immediately use drugs to replenish the spleen and stomach. Don't wait until the symptoms of spleen and stomach diseases are obvious before taking drugs.
Why should we pay attention to the spleen and stomach instead of other things such as heart and lung when treating chronic diseases? It depends on the importance of spleen and stomach function to various organs of human body. Chinese medicine believes that the main function of the stomach is to receive and decompose Shui Gu; The main function of the spleen is to transport the essence of Shui Gu. Food and drinks enter the stomach, pass down to the small intestine after digestion, and the fine substances in them are absorbed by the spleen and transported to the whole body through the triple energizer and meridians with the participation of the heart and lungs to meet the needs of various organs and tissues. The division of labor and cooperation between the spleen and stomach continuously supplies Shui Gu's essence to various organs and tissues of the human body and becomes the source of human nutrition, so it is called "spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow". Ren Ping's theory of meteorology says: "People are based on water valley"; Han Zang Jing also said that "the stomach is strong and the five internal organs are strong". It can be seen that the normal function of spleen and stomach is the premise of healthy qi. Under normal circumstances, the human body is full of healthy qi, and evil spirits are not easy to invade the human body, so the human body will not get sick. The theory of acupuncture says: "righteousness is included, and evil cannot be done"; Su Wen? "Pingre Lun" said: "When evil spirits gather, their qi will be deficient." . Why are many chronic diseases not born, but people get them at a certain age? This is mainly due to the gradual damage of the spleen and stomach and the gradual lack of healthy qi; Including physical decline and death in old age, but also because of weakness of spleen and stomach and lack of healthy qi. In "Su Wen? The great theory of Yin and Yang should be like saying, "Treatment must seek its root", so if people can actively maintain the spleen and stomach and nourish healthy qi, they can not only reduce diseases, but also delay aging and improve the quality of life. Therefore, paying attention to the spleen and stomach is very important for people's health.
Third, how to treat diseases with small methods?
To prevent a disease is to catch all kinds of symptoms before people get sick, find the disease early and take treatment measures early. The occurrence of diseases has a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and the prevention of diseases is to find and solve problems before qualitative change.
The obvious sign is that many people have "things they dare not do" and "things they love to do". If they dare not eat hard and sweet food, and catch a cold, they will have all kinds of adverse reactions if they are not careful. Or like to eat spicy food, salty food, meat, oral ulcer, cough, diarrhea, tears, the anus damp, etc. Signs that are easily overlooked are: acid, pain, discomfort, baldness, various skin diseases, and moles on the skin. These symptoms are characterized by long-term existence or repeated attacks, which may be light or heavy, but they will never be gone forever. These signs are like the masthead just exposed on the distant horizon, indicating that there is a big ship below.
Chinese medicine says that "what is inside must be shaped outside", that is to say, what is the state inside the human body will definitely appear outside. "LingShu? This Tibetan chapter says, "If you know its internal organs, you will know its disease. "... That is to say, according to the external manifestations of the human body, we can predict the internal diseases of the human body.
For these seemingly insignificant performances, "medical advice?" "Essentials of Four Diagnoses of the Heart" says: "Look, hear, ask, judge, make a clear diagnosis, know the root of the disease, combine color and pulse, and be foolproof. "Doctors should pay attention to it first, then understand its meaning, then find out the potential hidden dangers in the body through these signs, and then cure it with drugs before the disease begins.
How can I make a small impression? This requires doctors to accumulate long-term clinical experience. The method is not to let go of all the symptoms encountered in clinic easily, but to ask why. Pay attention to careful observation, experience and record in practical work, so long-term persistence will naturally lead to experience.
4. Matters needing attention in disease prevention.
It is not easy to really know how to treat diseases before they occur, otherwise Chinese medicine practitioners will not say that they are committed to treating diseases before they occur. No disease is a disease that has not yet appeared, and various symptoms have not yet appeared. The patient did not feel the pain of the disease, so he did not fully understand the doctor's judgment. Bian Que, an ancient imperial doctor, was mistaken by Cai Huangong as "a good doctor who wants to make contributions to people who are not ill". Cai Huangong didn't believe Bian Que and died.
For doctors, they should not only have long-term accumulated experience, but also have certain choices for patients. For those patients who are only willing to take a few drugs to try, they can refuse him directly. As the saying goes, "those who don't seek for a lifetime don't seek for a moment". If you don't plan to take Chinese medicine for several months to treat chronic diseases, don't even take a pair of Chinese medicine. Because treatment stresses "courage in treating acute diseases and prudence in treating chronic diseases", disease prevention can be said to be a complex project. To accomplish this task, we need planning and steps, which is really beyond everyone's understanding. Therefore, doctors should pay attention to treating patients who trust you very much before treating diseases.
Some diseases are treated with drugs, and the effect is to relieve symptoms and pain. This is consistent with what patients want, and both doctors and patients are satisfied with this situation; And in some cases, after taking the medicine, there is no effect for a while, and the symptoms have not changed. Why? Just like building a building. It takes a long time to dig the foundation at first, and you won't see the building to be built. Once the underground foundation is completed, the ground part often changes every day. The patient doesn't understand that the medicine he took in front of him is a good intention to lay a good foundation; What I don't understand is another situation. After taking the medicine, the symptoms are not alleviated, but aggravated. At this time, the patient either stopped taking the medicine himself or called the doctor Mr. Bai. Where do patients know that treating a disease is like helping others fight? People who get help are upright and suddenly have the ability to make money from illness and evil. How can the symptoms not be more serious? For these three situations, we should try to make it clear to the patients and tell them what the purpose of the first step of medication is and what the consequences will be; What is the purpose and performance of the second step of medication, so that patients can cooperate with medication.
In addition, patients often think that the disease will be cured as soon as the existing symptoms are eliminated, which is acceptable for acute diseases, but for recurrent chronic diseases, we should ask one more question: why do they recur? After solving the existing symptoms, drugs should be used according to the root causes of recurrent attacks in order to achieve the goal of radical cure. At this point, patients are often unwilling to continue treatment because of lack of understanding or financial ability, which is actually the most failure. If we can actively adhere to medication, we can cure old diseases for many years, patients get good health and doctors get good reputation. The so-called "not what you do, but how you do it" is also a famous saying to treat diseases. "It's not how you treat it, but how you treat it."
What matters should be paid attention to before treatment? The following words can be used as a reference: "Historical Records? "Biography of Bian Que Cang Gong" said: "If saints can predict the micro, and good doctors can engage in it as early as possible, then the disease can be cured and the body can survive. "People suffer from many diseases, but doctors suffer from few diseases. Therefore, there are six incurable diseases: arrogance, for whatever reason, is incurable; Intellectual man fit and heavy wealth, two governance also; Food and clothing are inadequate, and three treatments will not heal; The combination of yin and yang can not determine the viscera, and four can not be cured; Can't take medicine, five courses of treatment can't be cured; If you trust witches instead of doctors, you won't be cured after six treatments. If there is, it will be difficult to cure. "
