What does Chinese medicine mean by body?

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, a person's figure characteristics can reflect the health status and pathological manifestations of the human body. Body refers to the shape and posture characteristics of the human body, which is also called "constitution" in TCM terminology, and is a kind of physiological and ecological cultivation realm. Let's discuss the meaning of form from different angles.

First, Chinese medicine pays attention to "the unity of form and spirit", that is, people's appearance and inner state influence each other, and the appearance is the same. A good figure can not only shape a healthy appearance, but also enhance self-confidence and self-worth, which has a positive impact on physical and mental health.

Secondly, Chinese medicine treats patients according to their physical characteristics, that is, according to their physical characteristics and posture, we can judge the condition, identify the cause and design a treatment plan. For example, obese patients often have damp heat, while thin patients are prone to qi deficiency.

Thirdly, TCM also predicts the occurrence and development of diseases through physical characteristics. For example, Chinese medicine believes that yellow face and green lips may indicate potential health hazards such as hepatobiliary diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, through the analysis of physical characteristics, we can find potential diseases as early as possible and attract enough attention and prevention.

In a word, TCM constitution plays a certain role in maintaining physical and mental health, diagnosing and treating diseases and preventing health risks. People should pay attention to self-cultivation in life to maintain a healthy, beautiful and confident image.
