Why is it effective for Chinese medicine to see a doctor?
Speaking of Chinese medicine, most of us know that it is the traditional medicine in China with a history of more than two thousand years. There is no modern extraction equipment, just collecting some grass-roots bark from Shan Ye, and decocting it can cure the disease. People who don't know Chinese medicine think it's amazing. So, how does Chinese medicine make these grassroots barks produce therapeutic effects? We know that there are thousands of creatures in the world, and these creatures form a cycle of life. They grow and restrict each other, maintaining the balanced development of life. All kinds of creatures have their own life cycle, and human beings belong to one kind of creatures, and of course they have the same life cycle law as other creatures. Therefore, the biosphere on the earth is actually a big cycle that develops and restricts each other, because everything has its bias, its bias and its shortcomings, thus creating a stable life circle. Traditional Chinese medicine is the most natural medical system to safeguard human life in this biosphere. Why does Chinese medicine treat diseases? Because of the diversity of biosphere, everything has its bias. Life is sick, that is, the balance of yin, yang, qi, blood and meridians in the body is broken, resulting in bias. The so-called illness is actually deviation, and treatment is rectification. Large deviations lead to serious illness, which should be corrected greatly, while small deviations lead to minor illness, which should be corrected slightly. What is used to correct the deviation? Use traditional Chinese medicine, especially grass roots and bark, because they are self-biased. Correcting the deviation of human life with the deviation of traditional Chinese medicine is the way to cure diseases. The question now is, how do you know where the disease is? This requires TCM syndrome differentiation. Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. What do you mean? It is to analyze and synthesize according to the symptoms and signs of the disease, so as to summarize a syndrome, which is the essence of the disease. Then according to the nature of his illness, prescribe a prescription for treatment. If it can be treated accurately according to syndrome differentiation, the clinical effect will be particularly good, often one dose is known, and two doses are already. Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, has such a skill. Look at his Treatise on Febrile Diseases and you will know how magical the therapeutic effect is. The poor treatment effect of TCM in later generations is not that TCM itself is poor, but that it has not learned the skill of medical sage. The key is that the doctor himself failed to live up to expectations. So some people clamor for the abolition of Chinese medicine. In fact, what should be abolished are these quacks who have not mastered the true skills of Chinese medicine. Syndrome differentiation requires four diagnoses, that is, doctors should look, smell and ask. Visiting is to see the patient's appearance and specific changes in various parts of the body. The ancients called it "the god who knows by looking." The importance of seeing a doctor. Clinically, it is true. Generally, no matter what kind of disease it is, you can get all the information by seeing a doctor before consultation. I attach great importance to face-to-face consultation and hand consultation. Basically, every patient can see something. For example, a patient came to diagnose low back pain and saw that his chin was thin and his face was pale. Needless to say, the deficiency of kidney-yang in the body must be the deficiency of kidney-yang in the waist, which can't transport qi and blood, and then pulse-taking can help diagnosis. Nine times out of ten, the correct treatment plan has been found. Another example is dizziness. If you look at his face slightly gloomy, you can see that his ten fingers are red and slightly dark, which is caused by qi and blood stasis. The patient needs a good rest, strengthening the body resistance, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Infertility is characterized by depressed palm root, short little finger and pale lips. It is known that the kidney is deficient in qi and the kidney essence is dystrophy. When the thenar is dark and there is a horizontal stripe at the root of the mountain (the middle part of the eye), it can be clear that hypertension is caused by blood stasis. Fat people have thick thumb roots, which must be caused by too strong digestive function, and the weight loss effect is generally not ideal; Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have black fingers, which means yang deficiency, so it is best to support yang first. And so on, all in sight. Bian Que looked at Cai Henggong and knew the location of the lesion, while Zhang Zhongjing looked at his colleague and knew that his eyebrows would fall off and he would die twenty years later. There are many records of this kind, which shows that many famous doctors in ancient times have mastered the skills of making house calls and used them perfectly. Now we need to work hard to inherit it. Don't think that as long as there are modern examination methods such as CT, MRI and blood test, it is no longer necessary to use Chinese medicine for diagnosis. Now there is a popular saying in the field of Chinese medicine, which is called "western medicine diagnosis, Chinese medicine treatment." This means that the diagnosis depends on western medicine, but the clinical effect of Chinese medicine is not bad. Can TCM really not diagnose? In my opinion, the diagnosis of Chinese medicine is extremely accurate, and its significance far exceeds the inspection results of instruments and equipment. The diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine is the overall grasp of yin, yang, qi and blood of life, which can predict the coming organic diseases in advance, while the machine can only be found when the organic diseases have occurred. Moreover, the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine is holistic, and it is a set of laws about the changes of human meridians, qi and blood, yin and yang, which is far from being understood by western medicine. Those clinical Chinese medicine practitioners who despise themselves and only recognize machinery and equipment but not Chinese medicine do not know whether they can survive without western medicine. It's easier to smell and ask. There are clear principles and procedures for reference. Let's start with pulse diagnosis. Some people will ask, what is pulse-taking? In my opinion, pulse diagnosis is the ups and downs of the human body's left and right qi, blood, yin and yang, and it is the change of the deficiency and excess of the internal organs. The essence of it is non-clinical. After years of in-depth exploration, it is impossible to understand that patients with severe low back pain, if they can't feel the pulse, will certainly differentiate according to the meridians. The acupoints of Taiyang Bladder Meridian and Small Intestine Meridian are generally effective. Traditional Chinese medicines are generally used to open yang, help yin and strengthen the spleen. But what if the treatment fails or recurs? Then we need to find the essence of low back pain by taking the pulse. If the pulse string is tight, it is liver qi stagnation and physical attack. If you take Taichong and Yin Bao, the effect will be better, and you should also take drugs to soothe the liver and regulate qi. No matter what disease, we need to find the essence of the disease by taking the pulse, and we can also find the physical condition, and then it is often effective to treat the syndrome. There are many things about pulse condition. I will explain them slowly with some cases in the future, so I will skip them here. Why can Chinese medicine last for more than two thousand years? Why has the traditional medicine in Europe, India, Central Asia and Africa gradually disappeared since modern times? What makes Chinese medicine full of vitality? This is the theory of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine not only has Chinese medicine for treating diseases, but also has a set of medical theories that conform to the laws of nature. This theory is based on Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and centered on the viscera, meridians, qi and blood, with vivid images, which is in line with China's traditional culture and philosophy and reality. It can be said that TCM is the perfect combination of theory and practice, and the perfect combination of China traditional culture, life and nature. We say Chinese medicine is beautiful. Where is the beauty? Beauty lies in nature, culture and vitality. Chinese medicine is applied under the guidance of Chinese medicine theory, so the clinical practice of Chinese medicine has theoretical guidance, so why it is effective and how it is effective will naturally be solved. The clinical basis of TCM is TCM. The key to treating diseases with TCM is to combine the bias of TCM with the bias of human life. Therefore, through syndrome differentiation, we understand that human disease is a state of imbalance between Yin and Yang and qi and blood. Then it is necessary to correct its imbalance with specific traditional Chinese medicine with opposite bias. What is Chinese medicine? What can be used as Chinese medicine? Maybe many people don't know about Chinese medicine, and think that only those roots and barks with strange smell that are put in pharmacies are Chinese medicine. In fact, everything in the world has its own bias, and it can also correct the bias of human diseases because of its own bias. Therefore, everything in nature is medicine. Not only all kinds of plants are medicines, but also all kinds of organisms and even all kinds of minerals are medicines. There is nothing in the world that cannot be used as medicine. Once again, the biodiversity of nature ensures the recovery of our diseases. Every living thing is a living thing, and it has different tendencies due to different growing areas and environments. And all kinds of creatures themselves have their own special preferences. For example, Astragalus membranaceus is warm, benefiting qi and benefiting water, and Paeonia lactiflora is cold and astringent, which is plant bias. Gypsum is sweet, cold and heat-clearing, and kitchen soil is warm and hemostatic, which is also the bias of minerals. Musk is pungent and warm, and frankincense is sweet and warm, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which is the bias of animal traditional Chinese medicine. And so on, can treat the deviation of human diseases. In this sense, the so-called Chinese medicine is everything in nature. Traditional Chinese medicine can never be separated from nature, so it is the most natural (its therapeutic principle conforms to the law of natural change) and the closest to nature (traditional Chinese medicine can not be separated from nature). Traditional Chinese medicine can cure diseases, which is a precious wealth given to us by nature. It's completely different from western medicine. If nature is destroyed at will, every species in the world will disappear, which means that mankind may lose a specific medicine for treating a certain disease forever. When the creatures in nature are almost extinct, human beings will not live long. If human beings want to live in this world forever, they cannot do without nature and traditional Chinese medicine. Treating diseases and maintaining human health according to the current research ideas of western medicine is doomed to have no future and will inevitably fail one day. Saving mankind at the expense of destroying nature can only lead to human being being abandoned by nature.
