Traditional Chinese medicine health care is not just about eating Chinese medicine, nor does it belong to the elderly. Many friends still have some misunderstandings about traditional Chinese medicine health care. Today, Xiaobian will sort out the three most common misunderstandings. Come and see if you have been misled.
Benefits of TCM health preservation
First, prevention before illness, cure before illness. That is to say, people should actively prevent the occurrence of diseases when they are not sick. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emphasizes the internal factors of physical fitness with the statement that "healthy qi should be stored, and evil should not be done". On the one hand, it puts forward the ways of health preservation, such as "having a moderate diet, having a regular daily life, not working rashly" and "keeping the spirit inside and being safe from illness". On the other hand, people are required to "conform to the weather and be in harmony with nature" and actively eliminate the pathogenic factors to avoid or reduce their harm to the human body, so as to ensure that they will not get sick or not get sick. Prevention before illness coincides with the modern new medical model of "prevention first". It contains rich contents such as recuperating spirit, physical exercise, reasonable diet, timely health preservation and scientific medication.
Second, prevent the disease from changing and treat it at the beginning of the disease. That is to say, after getting sick, we should take active measures to prevent the disease from getting worse. Generally speaking, the transformation of diseases is a process from superficial to internal, from light to heavy, and from simple to complex. Therefore, in the process of preventing and treating diseases, we must master the occurrence, development and transformation ways of diseases, so as to make early diagnosis, effective treatment and cure before the onset of diseases worsens.
Third, do everything in addition to evil, so that the disease can be cured and prevented. The so-called "prevention after recovery" means that after recovery or stable illness, we should pay attention to preventing recurrence and always grasp the "initiative" of health. After the initial recovery, most patients are weak, which requires doing everything in addition to evil in rehabilitation medical treatment. In view of the pathological characteristics of the patient, such as deficiency of qi and blood, deficiency of body fluid, deficiency of spleen and kidney, blood stasis and phlegm resistance, comprehensive measures are taken to promote the function of zang-fu organs to return to normal as soon as possible, so as to achieve the goal of recovering from pathogenic factors and preventing the disease from recurring.
Three misunderstandings in TCM health preservation
Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation is exclusive to the elderly
When it comes to "keeping in good health", many friends think it is exclusive to the elderly, and sometimes they even disdain to hear the knowledge related to "keeping in good health", but in fact "keeping in good health" does not belong only to the elderly.
Many people don’t pay attention to their health when they are young, but when they are old, they desperately chase after Chinese medicine for health preservation. In fact, we can think that TCM health care is a physical maintenance project. The sooner you start health care, the better your body structure and performance will be. From this point of view, the effect of young people’s health care is often much more significant than that of old people.
Health preservation is just taking medicine.
Many people often ask relatives, friends and experienced old people for some prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine for health preservation. After drinking them, they feel that they are harmless, and they don’t care about the laws of life, ruining their health. In the end, it is not worth the candle. In addition to drinking some drugs to balance the body, TCM health care should also pay attention to maintaining a regular diet and routine in life.
Mislistening and believing, quick health care
Nowadays, the social atmosphere is impetuous, and people often don’t want to spend a lot of time on health care. In order to make money, those unscrupulous traders have come up with a quick "health care prescription". Many people mistakenly believe in some health-care drugs and so-called "crash" methods promoted by advertisements. The final result is that after eating health-care foods and traditional Chinese medicines, they feel that they have no effect, thinking that the "drugs" are not good, they will continue to change their medicines or give up health care.
