What kind of medicine is TCM? What is the difference between Taoist medicine and Chinese medicine?

Characteristics are different: Taoist medicine has a lot of real, secret transmission, the study of the general will be the inheritance of the masters or masters, the contents of the transmission will not be randomly open; Chinese medicine can be from the popularity of medical books to learn to improve, generally not the secret part of the transmission. Therefore, Taoist medicine emphasizes more on inheritance, not simply medical technology.

Since ancient times, there have been nine doctors in the Taoist school of medicine, and they all have the same origin. Taoist medicine is a complete set of medical system from Taoism to the theory of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine, on the other hand, is in the process of historical development based on the Taoist "Huang Di Nei Jing" and the doctrine of yin and yang and five elements as a means of diagnosis and treatment. So Taoist medicine and Chinese medicine is a lineage, just Taoist medicine system is more complete.

Precautions for Chinese medicine practitioners

Avoid foods or medicines that can easily stain the tongue, and it is not advisable to contain medicines and take pills or medicines that can easily stain the tongue before the consultation.

Don't wear make-up. The color of the patient's face, eyes, lips and skin is the main content of the doctor's diagnosis, so make-up will cover up the "original face", which will also cover up the condition.

Don't go to the doctor immediately after a meal, half an hour after the meal is appropriate, because after the meal, the pulse, the tongue has changed, is not conducive to the doctor's judgment. Don't go to the clinic immediately after a strenuous activity, or when you are emotionally excited, because strenuous activities, emotional excitement will make the heart rate increase, affecting the doctor's pulse, which will cover up the manifestation of the disease.
