"Preventing disease" is closely related to daily life. What is the method of "preventing disease" in Chinese medicine?

"Huangdi Neijing" mentions: "If the sage does not cure the disease, he will cure the disease; if he does not cure it, he will treat the disorder before it is disordered. If the disease is already established, then treat it with medicine; if the disorder is already established, then cure it, for example, you are still thirsty Isn't it too late to drill a well and cast a cone? "The theory of "preventing disease" has been documented and applied clinically for 2000 years. With many years of history, it is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of ancient doctors and has played an indispensable role in the reproduction, disease prevention and health care of the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties.

Since then, the ideological field of "preventing disease" has been continuously summarized and improved day by day based on the combination of careful study of medical theory and syndrome differentiation and treatment by doctors of past generations. It not only refers to preventing disease in advance, but also includes early treatment of existing disease. , Prevent recurrence of scabies, and its content gradually involves different levels such as diet and daily life, emotional adjustment, acupuncture prescriptions, and Daoyin Shi.

"Treatment before disease" is closely related to daily life

"Treatment before disease" is roughly equivalent to what we usually call "sub-health" state, but the two are not exactly the same. Although medical books mostly describe medical theories, Chinese medicine originates from the life practices of ancient people and emphasizes the unity of nature and man. Therefore, "preventing disease" should be integrated into our daily lives.

For example, the ancients said in life that "eat and drink in moderation, daily life should be regular, and do not work rashly", and in terms of emotions, they said "tranquility and nothingness, the true energy will follow it, and the spirit will be kept internally", which also tells us , to live on time, to be moderate in everything, and to be indifferent to fame and wealth. This is not only an interpretation of behavioral cultivation, but also an interpretation of preventing and treating "pre-diseases" to cultivate "awesome spirit". Therefore, for contemporary people, "treating the disease before it's too late" can be understood as a cultural connotation of avoiding evil spirits externally and nourishing righteousness internally.

However, this does not mean that "preventing disease" can be used for health care and treatment at will.

Traditional Chinese medicine’s “prevention of disease” involves many aspects. Take moxibustion as an example. At present, moxibustion is widely used in health care to "treat diseases before they occur", and health care institutions have emerged. However, moxibustion is warm in nature, so it is more suitable for syndromes of deficiency and cold, sexually transmitted diseases, rheumatism and paralysis. Moxibustion is an external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. The composition of the method also emphasizes the overall concept, syndrome differentiation and treatment, rather than a cure for all diseases as promoted by some media. If not grasped properly and applied all together, it may cause burns and burns to the skin. In the long run, it also reduces people's trust in it and has a negative impact on the development of traditional Chinese medicine. "

"Treat the disease before it's too late", there are many wonderful ways to choose the right method

"Treat the disease before it's too late" not only warns doctors to be aware of the patient's condition and prevent the disease before it's too late, it also enlightens us to treat the disease before it's too late. Before birth, early intervention and strengthening of the body are required to eliminate evil. When the disease is present, the treatment principles of strengthening the yang, regulating qi, and strengthening the spleen are often used as guidance to "treat the disease before it occurs."

First, the "Huangdi Neijing" says that "yang energy nourishes the mind, and softness nourishes the muscles", which illustrates the importance of yang energy and the nature of moxa is pure yang. People with yang deficiency constitution can "prevent disease before it occurs." ". For example, "Improved Changshen Moxibustion" uses a moxibustion box as a tool to moxibustion with ginger slices from Dazhui point to Shenshu point, plus moxibustion at Yongquan point. It is also very effective in improving chronic fatigue. Moxibustion warms yang and replenishes qi, and the back The Department is followed by the Du Vessel and the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, and ginger warms the meridians and unblocks the meridians. The combination of the three can greatly increase the power of supporting Yang. The moxibustion box is safe and easy to use, and the temperature can be controlled, so it is easy to promote. However, it should be reminded that this method of moxibustion. It has wide coverage, sufficient firepower and strong effect, so it is more suitable for those with loose stools, frequent urination, cold waist and abdomen, severe fatigue, and those whose syndrome differentiation is "spleen and kidney yang deficiency" according to traditional Chinese medicine. The duration of moxibustion should be controlled at 45 Minutes or so, or as directed by your doctor.

Secondly, Chinese medicine says that “all diseases are caused by qi”, so you should keep your mood calm and use roses and wintersweet instead of tea to regulate qi and soothe the liver. If you experience mental depression, fullness in the chest and flanks, and a foreign body sensation in the throat, it may be "phlegm qi stagnation" in traditional Chinese medicine. Moxibustion can be done on bilateral Shaoshang and Yinbai points, which were called "burning ghost eyes" in ancient times.

Third, Chinese medicine teaches that the spleen and stomach are the "foundations of acquired nature." If you usually feel abdominal distension, indigestion, cold and painful epigastric pain, lukewarm limbs, loose stools, etc., these are mostly symptoms of "deficiency of the spleen and stomach" in Chinese medicine. You can use a moxibustion box. Apply moxibustion from Zhongwan point to Qihai point and Zusanli point from 7 am to 11 am Moxibustion on the stomach meridian and spleen meridian can increase Yang Qi and warm the spleen and stomach. You can also boil rice and yam soup with ginger and take it warmly in the morning, but those with high blood sugar should pay attention to the appropriate amount.
