Prospect of TCM health preservation
The cultivation culture of traditional Chinese medicine has been circulated for thousands of years. Under the protection, the Chinese nation and Chinese culture have been multiplied, and both of them are full of vitality.
At present, the whole world has set off an upsurge of learning China's health culture. Many foreign countries and regions also cooperate with Chinese medicine colleges and universities to set up Chinese medicine colleges or universities and offer Chinese medicine (acupuncture) majors. * * * For example, Japan and South Korea have established formal institutions of higher learning for Chinese medicine and Korean medicine education recognized by the government, and there is no basis for Chinese medicine; In Europe, Li Shizhen University, which offers undergraduate education in traditional Chinese medicine, has been established. There are 38 medical schools in Germany offering acupuncture courses; The French government approved public medical universities to offer acupuncture courses; In the United States, there are 72 registered Chinese medicine colleges, 30 of which have been approved by the Ministry of Education. In Australia, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology cooperated with Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine to set up the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, becoming the first school in developed countries to formally set up the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. ......
In China, during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the state put forward that "the focus of disease prevention and control should be moved forward", so don't wait for illness to take health seriously. Especially sub-healthy people, we should step out of this gray stage, pay attention to health preservation and prevent problems before they happen. In this context, Chinese medicine has been paid more and more attention by the government and welcomed by the public. Traditional Chinese medicine is simple, convenient, cheap and experienced. The competent department of the Ministry of Health carried out the strategic plan put forward by the Party to improve the health level of full name, gave full play to the characteristics and advantages of "preventing diseases" of traditional Chinese medicine, and launched a nationwide systematic project-"preventing diseases" project. Its goal is to strive to build a health care service system with obvious characteristics of Chinese medicine, appropriate technology, various forms and standardized services, continuously improve the ability and level of preventive health care services of Chinese medicine, and meet the growing multi-level and diversified demand for preventive health care services of Chinese medicine. At present, this project is being carried out in full swing all over the country and will benefit more and more ordinary people.
Health-preserving culture is widely concerned because of its unique core-attaching importance to human instinct, emphasizing the exertion of its own vitality and reducing drug substitution; Paying attention to the relationship between human activities and nature and following the laws of natural changes to determine the laws of diet and daily life are determined by these two points. To sum up, the core idea of traditional Chinese medicine is "people-oriented, harmony is precious".
The "people-oriented" culture of TCM health preservation is to attach importance to healthy qi. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says, "What's wrong with keeping healthy qi inside? When evil is combined, its qi will be weak. "
Under normal circumstances, a person with normal physical function will not get sick. He can get along with all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms without getting sick, which embodies the realm of "harmony" in China culture. On the contrary, only when the healthy qi of human body is insufficient will these pathogenic microorganisms take the opportunity to make trouble and harm human body. Therefore, Chinese medicine regulates the human body and emphasizes strengthening the body and eliminating evil spirits, so-called healthy qi and eliminating evil spirits. Promoting and restoring the innate ability of human body to adapt to the environment, resist diseases and recover itself, and reducing the substitution of drugs are the true meaning of health, and are also the methods that the World Health Organization and Chinese and foreign medical and health workers pay more and more attention to and affirm. This is the core content of China traditional Chinese medicine culture and China health-preserving culture that attracts worldwide attention.
This wisdom of Chinese medicine is not only reflected in conditioning the body, but also in life cultivation and social atmosphere. If we are sick, we should not complain that pathogenic microorganisms are "ferocious animals", but should review where we are "not healthy enough". In social life and interpersonal relationships, if there are some tense interpersonal relationships and some unsatisfactory situations in the course of work, we should also look for the root causes in ourselves, instead of blindly blaming others, shirking responsibility or complaining. This attitude towards life is a very necessary part of building a harmonious society at present, and it is also a concrete embodiment of the content of "keeping health first, benevolent people live long" that has been emphasized by health culture in today's society.
National rejuvenation, culture first! Be yourself and benefit all mankind! The excellent health-preserving culture of the Chinese nation should shoulder the important task of China culture going global in the 2nd/kloc-0th century. And I believe that a healthy culture has this ability and must shoulder this obligation.
Traditional Chinese medicine health preserving methods
First of all, it is very important for Chinese medicine to preserve health by virtue, which is the most important condition for health and longevity. Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached importance to mental health. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, there was a saying in the medical book Huangdi Neijing that "if you are indifferent, the true qi will follow, and the spirit will be hidden inside, and you will be safe from illness", which clearly stated that you should pay attention to spiritual maintenance in health preservation. Taoism also emphasizes that people should be kind, loyal, caring, friendly, kind, compassionate and helpful. These virtues are not only beneficial to oneself, but also to society. Those who can possess these virtues will be more able to appreciate the happiness in life and enjoy a healthy body and mind.
The second key factor is concentration and regular exercise. Sick people need exercise, and people who are not sick also need exercise to prevent it. At the same time of exercise, it can achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, strengthening the will, promoting digestion and circulation, and enhancing immunity.
The third point is to maintain mental, emotional and psychological health. Keeping in good health requires us to cultivate healthy spirit and stable mood, and avoid mental extremes, psychological fluctuations and emotional instability. According to the viewpoint of "Anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, thinks about hurting the spleen, grieves the lungs and fears hurting the kidney" in TCM, it is further explained that emotional care is an important link in human health, and among all the bad factors affecting the human body, the most harmful one is bad mood. When people's mental state is normal, the ability of the body to adapt to the environment and resist diseases will be enhanced, which can play a role in preventing diseases.
A healthy and balanced diet is also an essential factor for health preservation. For thousands of years, healthy food and balanced diet have been considered as the key factors to achieve longevity, and unreasonable eating habits have been accused of being the root of health problems.
Disease prevention is also an important part of health care. Through regular exercise, proper use of drugs, proper food supplement and other healthy activities, everyone can achieve the goal of keeping fit and delaying aging.
Traditional Chinese medicine sleep health preserving method
I. The importance of sleep
1, the famous doctor Wen Zhi of the Warring States Period said to Qi Weiwang:
"My way of keeping in good health is to put sleep first. People and animals can only grow by sleep, which helps the spleen and stomach digest food. So sleep is the first supplement to health. If people don't sleep for a night, they can't recover for a hundred days. "
2. Li Yu, a physician in the Qing Dynasty, once pointed out:
"The way of keeping in good health, when sleep first. Sleep can be refined, sleep can nourish qi, sleep can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and sleep can strengthen bones and muscles. "
3, people often say:
"Medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as sleep."
People should conform to the laws of nature and follow the sun, that is, I get up in the morning and go to bed in the morning, and get into the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, instead of going against the sun.
Second, what misunderstandings do modern people have about sleep?
The reason why it is difficult for most people to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early is that there are many misunderstandings about sleep besides some people's own bad sleep habits:
1, some people think that sleeping for seven or eight hours every day is enough, and it doesn't matter if you stay up late at night, just make up your sleep during the day.
2. Many people stay up late or sleep badly, only knowing that they will feel mentally exhausted the next day, but they don't know how much harm it will do to their bodies.
Many people think that insomnia and difficulty in falling asleep are just minor problems. Just take a few sleeping pills, and they won't think it's caused by internal disorder.
Some people like reading and writing articles in the evening. After 23 o'clock, they feel very quiet, energetic and efficient.
In order to get out of the above misunderstanding about sleep, we must first know the harm of bad sleep habits to the human body and when sleep is good for health.
Third, what harm does long-term late sleep or lack of sleep have to the body?
9 pm to 3 am is the best time to nourish the liver and protect the gallbladder. If people don't sleep for a long time (23: 00-1: 00), they will hurt their gallbladder and liver. The initial manifestations are black eyes, dryness, fatigue, sunken eyes, dizziness, headache, mental fatigue and inattention. , there will be serious visceral disorders and various diseases.
1, eye disease
The liver began to understand the purpose. If you don't sleep in the afterlife, it will easily lead to symptoms such as liver qi deficiency, blurred vision, presbyopia, tears in the wind, and eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, fundus arteriosclerosis and retinopathy. (So there is something wrong with the eyes, usually the liver. )
2, bleeding symptoms
The liver has the functions of storing blood and regulating blood. If you don't sleep when you die, it will cause bleeding symptoms such as liver blood deficiency, vomiting blood, nosebleeds, subcutaneous bleeding, gingival bleeding, fundus bleeding and ear bleeding.
3. Hepatobiliary diseases
Bile should be changed when the child is young. If people don't sleep when they are full of bile, bile replacement will be unfavorable. If it is too concentrated, it will crystallize into stones, and over time it will get gallstones. At present, there are about 5 people infected with hepatitis B virus in Guangzhou on average, mostly because they don't sleep in violation of the laws of nature. Carrying hepatitis B virus means that 40%-60% of them will suffer from cirrhosis in the future, and in severe cases, they will form liver cancer.
4. Emotional illness
When I was a child, not sleeping easily consumed bile. Huangdi Neijing says that "Qi can make courage". If your bile is insufficient, you will easily feel uneasy, suspicious and timid. After a long time, you will have emotional problems such as depression and anxiety, and even world-weariness and suicide. Nowadays, there are more and more teenagers suffering from depression and even suicide, mostly because they often stay up late and hurt their courage. So depressed, anxious, etc. Can't just look for psychological factors, psychological abnormalities often come from physiological imbalance)
5, cardiovascular system diseases
Not sleeping as a child will lead to liver blood deficiency. Because the heart is in charge of the blood vessels of the whole body, the function of the liver to store and regulate blood is impaired, which will cause insufficient blood supply to the heart, thus causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as heart disease and hypertension.
6. Lung aspect
If you don't sleep as a child, you can't nourish yin and lower yang, and the liver yin fails to harvest, which will cause excessive liver fire, burning the lungs, dry cough or cough, hemoptysis and other symptoms, and it will easily lead to various skin diseases such as psoriasis.
A cold is sometimes not a simple wind-cold or wind-heat. Maybe a cold that can't be cured by taking medicine, injection or even infusion for many days can be cured quickly as long as it supplements liver qi and lowers liver fire. Lung governs fur, and many skin diseases can't be cured by applying ointment. That's just a palliative, not a permanent cure. The root cause is to solve the liver problem. )
7. Kidney
Shanghai, Zizi, and Ugly Time (2 1 -3) are winter days. Spring grows in summer and winter harvests in winter. In winter, kidney should store essence, and liver and kidney are homologous. Not sleeping in the afterlife will easily lead to diseases such as osteoporosis, diabetes, renal failure and infertility, which will seriously affect the next generation.
8, habitual abortion
Women's habitual abortion is mostly caused by men, and most of these men sleep above zero, which is too harmful to the liver. The liver belongs to wood in the five elements, and its wood property is not strong. Sperm, like weak seeds, has weak rooting ability and the fetus is easy to slip.
4. When is sleep good for health?
9: 00 pm to 3: 00 am is an effective sleep time and the best sleep time. Sleep less than half an hour at night (2 1 -3), and sleep for more than three hours during the day can't make up for it. Therefore, it is suggested that you grasp the effective sleep time, and it is best to sleep at 9 pm, not later than 10: 30.
1, 2 1 -23 o'clock is a sea of rocks every day, and the triple energizer meridian is the most abundant, which belongs to the triple energizer meridian of the hand shaoyang, and "the triple energizer connects all the veins"; The gallbladder meridian at 23 o'clock-1 point is the most prosperous, belonging to the gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang. One is that the hands are not yang, and the other is that the feet are not yang. What is shaoyang? Shaoyang is the rising sun! Only when people enter the actual sleep state before 23 o'clock can the sun of the human body rise and have a good physical and mental state. Most centenarians go to bed before 9 pm.
2, 65438+ 0 -3 am ugly, the liver meridian is the most prosperous. Huangdi Neijing says that "blood belongs to the liver when people lie down", and the best time for nourishing blood and producing blood in the liver is 2 1 to 3 am. If people stay up until 1 o every day, the liver can't get back blood, toxic blood can't be discharged, fresh blood can't be born, and human viscera can't be nourished by qi and blood, which is very easy to get out of balance and cause disease.
5. How can we ensure a good sleep?
There are many reasons for insomnia, but its root lies in the imbalance of material body. In order to ensure a good sleep, you need to do "five noes" before going to bed:
1, not full
Chinese medicine says that "stomach disharmony leads to restless sleep", because people need to rest at night, and so does the spleen and stomach. Eating too much at dinner will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, disturb the yang of the spleen and stomach, and thus affect sleep. Therefore, dinner should be seven or eight minutes full, as light as possible, protect the spleen and stomach, and clear the yang.
Step 2 don't move
It is not advisable to exercise vigorously before going to bed and disturb the yang, including watching TV, talking and chatting before going to bed and other activities that disturb the yang. Moreover, the radiation of TV, audio and other electrical appliances will interfere with the autonomic nerves of the human body. Therefore, it is not advisable to do strenuous exercise, watch TV or chat half an hour before going to bed.
3. Don't think too much
The spleen governs thinking, thinking too much hurts the spleen, and thinking too much easily disturbs the mind. Thinking is yang, sleeping is yin. Therefore, it is advisable to recuperate before going to bed, so as to "sleep first and then sleep" and help yang enter yin to facilitate sleep.
4. Not too much
After 1 1 p.m. at night, the gallbladder meridian opens the yang and is pneumatic, which makes people easy to lose sleep, dissipate the qi of the liver and gallbladder and invade the body. So it's best to go to bed at 2 1, not later than 22: 30.
5, not affected by the wind
Wind is the beginning of all diseases, and it is pervasive. Sleeping at night, opening the window and turning on the air conditioner will blow away the yang on the body surface of the guards. After being blown away, Yang will regenerate and be blown away by the wind after regeneration. This will dry people's yang overnight and make them more tired the next day. Therefore, close the doors and windows and air conditioning before going to bed to protect the yang on the body surface.
6. Develop a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Be sure to get up early in the morning, even in winter, don't exceed 6 o'clock, and try to get up before 5 o'clock in spring, summer and autumn. Young people probably can't do much.
When people get up in Yin Shi (3: 00 to 5: 00) where the lung meridian is developed, they can stretch their lung qi to meet the growth of yang, which helps to nourish the lungs and conform to the natural trend of the sun, so as to improve the yang of the human body and make people have enough yang in one day.
From 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock, the large intestine meridian is at its peak, and the human body needs to excrete the metabolized turbid gas.
From 7: 00 to 9: 00, the stomach meridian is the strongest (so be sure to have breakfast).
At 9:00- 1 1:00, the spleen meridian is the most abundant, and people's digestion, absorption and transport ability are the best at this time. So, never lie in bed.
Besides, getting up early can improve work efficiency. As the saying goes, "get up early in three days and work one day." Modern medicine has proved that people who go to bed early and get up early have less mental stress and are less prone to mental illness.
