Traditional Chinese medicine health care

Traditional Chinese medicine health care

What are the non-medical items of health care? The most qualified questions to answer are some old Chinese medicine practitioners who have been keeping in good health all their lives. Their life experience, for us, is a rare book of health preservation. Let's share the health care of Chinese medicine.

TCM health care 1 TCM health care refers to a medical activity that supports life, strengthens physique and prevents diseases through various methods, so as to prolong life.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to integrity and systematicness, aiming at nip in the bud.

The famous representative work of TCM theory is Huangdi Neijing. Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation comes from ancient essence medicine, and the level of contemporary Chinese medicine has declined, while ancient Chinese medicine deserves further development and research.

The source of TCM health preservation

As far as the historical accuracy of written records is concerned, the germination of health-preserving culture in China can only be traced back to Shang Dynasty. From the textual research of Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed, it can be found that people in Shang Dynasty always prayed for the help of their ancestors when they were sick or gave birth. From time to time, they also ask about the good and bad luck and health status in their daily lives, and then hold various forms of sacrificial activities to eliminate the ominous. In addition, there are some records about personal hygiene (such as bathing, bathing) and collective hygiene (such as "sweeping the floor") in Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the idea of health preservation was further developed. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was also a food doctor who was in charge of the diet of the nobles, guiding the diet conditioning work in many aspects, such as "six drinks, six meals, hundred dishes and hundred sauces", and proposing that the diet conditioning should adapt to the climate of the four seasons; And there are full-time officials in charge of environmental sanitation, such as the "Shuzhang detoxification method"; "Chu palm eliminates midges,,,, and smoked with weeds"; "Hu Zhuo Zhang gets rid of water bugs" to make the water clean.

Food necessary for life; Warming food can warm yang and help fire, improve the symptoms of chills, and thus enhance physical fitness, such as yin deficiency and internal heat. Eating more food will aggravate yang heat and get angry, resulting in dry throat, toothache, bleeding gums, constipation and other symptoms; Cold food can clear fire, such as yang deficiency and cold constitution. Eating too much will aggravate the coldness of the body and lead to diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Therefore, even if you are weak, you can't blindly "make up". There are many kinds of physical deficiency, and each deficiency syndrome has targeted tonic, tonic and food. Inconsistency between medicine and syndrome will not only be ineffective but also have side effects.

Myth 4: There is no empty and blind "seeking compensation"

Nowadays, due to the wide spread of the media, the propaganda of the magical and effective functions of various "tonics" in advertisements is often exaggerated. People are seeking compensation, and there are many people who are not "empty". There is no tonic in the world that can cure diseases and protect health without getting sick. Throughout the ages, people who violate the law of "deficiency is tonic" and ask for tonic drugs to attract trouble abound. Such as ginseng, which is called tonic in Chinese medicine, is the best tonic for calming the heart and improving intelligence, benefiting the lung and strengthening the spleen. In case of heart failure, shock, bleeding, physical weakness, impotence and other symptoms, ginseng does have the effect of medicine to remove the disease. But if the supplement is not symptomatic, it will be uncomfortable and fatal.

If your hands, feet, ears and calves feel particularly cold, try several "warm-up meals" recommended by experts that can help you resist the cold in winter.

What are the contents and methods of TCM health care technology 2?

Traditional Chinese medicine health care includes emotional health care, solar terms health care, physical health care, food and medicine health care, exercise guidance health care, meridian and acupoint health care and many other aspects.

Recently, Professor Cheng Kai is editing the National Health and Wellness Committee's "13th Five-Year Plan" textbook "Appropriate Techniques for TCM Health Preservation", which is also a textbook for higher TCM education in China for TCM health preservation and other majors. From the point of view of operation technology, this paper sorts out and summarizes the nursing techniques of acupuncture (including filiform needle, ear needle, skin needle, pricking collaterals and bloodletting, acupoint catgut embedding, etc.). ), moxibustion (moxa cone moxibustion, moxa stick moxibustion, warm acupuncture, warm moxibustion and so on. ), massage (adult massage and children massage) and guided nursing (eight-paragraph brocade, six-character formula, etc.).

TCM Health Care 3 TCM Health Care Knowledge

First, the liver and gallbladder: the liver and gallbladder are both inside and outside. "Liver governs blood storage", and the liver has the function of storing and regulating blood, so it is said that "liver governs blood". Liver-qi strips have the function of ascending and dispersing qi, which can relax the whole body and make people energetic, calm and cheerful.

(1) "that live is the root of the target". The liver is full of essence, the eyes are bright in black and white, and the eyes are intense. If the liver is inflamed, the eyes will be dry and unable to see clearly.

(2) "the main muscle of the liver, which spends its time in the claws". Sufficient liver essence, nourishing tendons and strong limbs, full, smooth, transparent and pink nails; Liver deficiency leads to stiff muscles, slow activity, dirty nails, opaque depressions and insufficient blood color.

(3) "Anger hurts the liver", which can smooth the liver qi, make people energetic, calm and friendly with others. Liver depression and qi stagnation, easy to get angry, fierce eyes, blushing face, body odor and nausea. Liver yin includes blood and lubricating fluid needed for muscle movement-yin and body fluid, liver yin is sufficient, the body is relaxed, the heart is confident, and there is no discord.

Syndrome of liver discomfort can be divided into yang hyperactivity and yin deficiency, which will affect the beauty of the image. Regulating the liver should distinguish between hyperactivity of yang and yin deficiency, and their different characteristics are as follows:

1, people with hyperactivity of liver yang are impatient and have strength; People with liver yin are anxious but tired.

2, liver yang hyperactivity, redness, dryness and corneal spots, or edema, drooping or exophthalmos; People with liver-yin deficiency have sunken eyes, dry and blurred vision, tears in the wind, dizziness, color blindness, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, cataracts and even neuritis.

3. After the liver yang is hyperactive, the ribs are full, or the right rib is often painful; Yin deficiency often causes dull pain in the right rib.

4. The feet of patients with hyperactivity of liver yang are restless; Leg weakness of patients with yin deficiency.

5. People with hyperactivity of liver yang are anxious and do things poorly; People with yin deficiency do things with more heart and less strength.

Second, the heart and small intestine: the heart mentioned in Chinese medicine includes the heart and the brain. For example, thinking in your head doesn't mean your heart is thinking, but your brain is thinking. The heart governs the spirit, which is the master of higher central nervous activities such as mental consciousness and thinking, and plays a leading role in the functions of other organs. People who are full of qi and blood are cheerful and energetic. People with radiant face and qi deficiency have palpitations, dull eyes, lack of interest and even anorexia. (1) The heart is full of brilliance, the heart is white and red, and the skin is smooth and tender; People with insufficient spirit have dark faces and large pores. Because they can't lock the pores, sweat comes out. In severe cases, he sweated and died of Yang. (2) The sound of the heart is loud and clear, and the sound of the heart is like a bell, expressing happiness and being happy; People with insufficient heart-qi have a low voice, often sigh, talk less, are depressed and unhappy, and people with insufficient heart-qi have different causes; Or overworked, or depressed; Or unhappy when stimulated; Or step into middle-aged qi deficiency; Or after a serious illness, the gas has been hurt. There are yin and yang in adjusting the heart; If the heart yang is insufficient, the yin will generate heat; Deficiency of heart yin, heat, yang deficiency or yin deficiency. The characteristics are as follows: A. "Tongue is the seedling of the heart", with tender and fat tongue and white fur as yang deficiency, and thin tongue and red fur as yin deficiency. B. If there is an ulcer on the tip of the tongue, the white tongue is yang deficiency and the red tongue is yin deficiency. C, sighing and sweating is yang deficiency, and blushing and sweating is yin deficiency. D, the heart is stuffy and suffocating, and those who are timid in the heart are yang deficiency, and those who are dry and hot are yin deficiency.

3. Lung and large intestine: The lung is located in the chest, and the throat is the portal, which is the place where gas enters and exits. The clear gas inhaled by the lung is combined with the subtle Shui Gu of spleen transport, which is transformed into vitality and maintains human life. The lung and the heart are in the upper energizer, and they are interdependent. The lung governs qi, and the heart governs blood. Qi dies from blood, and blood dies from blood. 1, lung qi is full of energy, which means that human blood contains enough oxygen and is bound to be full of energy. Healthy young women have white and tender skin, which is related to lung qi. 2. The lung governs fur and the lung governs qi and blood. The skin is nutritious, soft and smooth, with fine pores, lung qi deficiency and weak skin resistance. The skin is prone to the following symptoms: subcutaneous rash, tinea, erythema, acne, large facial pores and skin allergy.

3, the lungs are full of gas and the nose is exquisite: the lungs open the nose, the lungs are full of gas, the nose is bright and exquisite, the lungs are qi-deficient, the nasal pores become thicker, or the nose wings turn red, and the weight is "rosacea".

4, lung qi is not puffy, the lungs pass through the waterway, and the bladder is pumped. Lung regulates human body water, and spleen and kidney need to cooperate with each other. If there is a problem in any link, it will cause unfavorable metabolism of water and liquid in the body and form puffiness and edema. Lung qi, foot and nose are not inflamed, and the sense of smell is sensitive. People with lung deficiency are prone to nasopharyngeal diseases and allergies, and sometimes they can't tell the difference between fragrance and smell. "Lung cures worry" is full of lung qi, and people often laugh. People with lung deficiency are more sad. The lung can be divided into yin deficiency and yang deficiency, and the different symptoms are as follows: when the lung is yang deficiency, cough is weak, nose is clear, even shortness of breath or dyspnea, sputum is thin, fatigue and laziness, low voice, fear of cold, spontaneous sweating, blue face and fat tongue. When lung yin deficiency occurs, dry cough with little phlegm, hot flashes and night sweats, flushed cheeks, fever in hands and feet, dry throat and tongue, and little fur.

4. Spleen and stomach: "Spleen and stomach are the source of biochemistry and the foundation of the day after tomorrow". Spleen governs transport and transformation, and water and subtle substances are distributed all over the body, supplying various needs of the human body and maintaining the normal operation of viscera functions. Diet is based on spleen powder, and the spleen and stomach are the source of nourishing blood and transforming life. Therefore, whether a person's physical condition is healthy during the day has an important relationship with the spleen.

1, the spleen is full of tendons, and the "spleen main muscle" has a full temper, plump and tender muscles, and a vivid and energetic face. Some people are not beautiful, but they are still cute. This is what the folks call "love to eat human flesh" on the face.

2, the temper is not bloated, and the fat on the female face is normal, which can be described as "the beauty of wealth." In addition, most fat is swollen. Spleen governs the transport of water and dampness, and transports the water in the body. Dampness due to spleen deficiency can lead to edema, which is due to kidney deficiency in legs and feet, and spleen deficiency leads to facial and systemic edema. There are two reasons for spleen deficiency: one is diet; Second, thinking, eating more cold food, gluttony for fruits and overeating will hurt the spleen, and thinking too much may also hurt the spleen.

3. "The spleen opens its mouth, its glory lies in the lips, and the spleen can know the five grains." The spleen is full of rosy lips, and the exhaled breath has no peculiar smell. Eating whole grains can taste the fragrance, and weak-tempered lips are white and rough. If the spleen is cold, the lips are purple or black, the exhaled breath is so strong that others can't dodge it, and the diet is tasteless.

4. "Spleen governs blood, so that blood runs smoothly in blood vessels and does not overflow". When the spleen is weak and can't control blood, blood overflows blood vessels, which is called "blood does not follow menstruation". Some people will bleed under the skin to form ecchymosis, serious people will sweat red, and some women will have menstrual bleeding. The spleen and stomach are both exterior and interior, and the spleen is equivalent to a workshop. Both are indispensable and cooperate with each other, but their habits are different. Spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, stomach likes moistening and hates dryness, temper rises, people's qi is full, and stomach qi drops, so that people can successfully complete digestion and absorption. Whether the spleen and stomach function is normal or not, the symptoms are as follows:

1, when the spleen-qi is deficient, the lips are white, but there is no blood, and the stomach fire goes up, and the lips are dry and cracked again. 2, the temper is too long, the upper gums shrink, the stomach is weak for a long time, and the lower gums shrink. 3, weak temper, thin loose stool, heavy diarrhea, dry and hard stomach fire.

4. Limbs are not warm when spleen deficiency occurs, and people are hot when stomach is hot. 5, stomach yang deficiency, epigastric pain, vomiting and salivation.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) kidney and bladder: "Kidney is the foundation of congenital". Strong kidney qi, alert and energetic, straight neck and bright skin, can delay aging for decades; Deficiency of kidney qi makes people easy to fear, and in severe cases, mental illness may occur.

2, "the kidney is the main hair", the kidney is full, the hair is thick and black, the kidney is insufficient, the hair falls off, and the hair is dry, so the fundamental treatment for alopecia is to nurse the kidney. Kidney qi has a straight neck and firm teeth, because the kidney dominates the bone and the teeth are outside the bone. Deficiency of kidney qi means that the cervical vertebra can't be straightened, and even worse, bone hyperplasia. Therefore, when people have hyperosteogeny or loose teeth in middle age, they should not rush to surgery, but should start with regulating the kidney, which can not only fundamentally solve the patients, but also save the teeth.

3. "Kidney collects lung qi, lung governs fur", kidney qi is sufficient to collect lung qi, and lung can nourish skin. When the kidney qi is insufficient, the descending function of the lung is blocked, and spots are easy to appear on the face. Some people will get acne on their faces because of kidney deficiency.

4. Husband and wife who are full of kidney qi live in harmony. "The lower part of the kidney is enlightened by two yin and the upper part is enlightened by the ear." The kidney is full of qi and has good hearing, the kidney is the mother of the liver, and the liver and kidney are homologous. People with liver, kidney and feet are wary.

Kidney deficiency can easily lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness and even deafness.

To tonify the kidney, we must first determine whether it is kidney yang deficiency or kidney yin deficiency, yin and yang deficiency or yin deficiency and nourishing yin. If the kidney is upside down, it will not only fail to tonify the kidney, but will be counterproductive. The characteristics of kidney yang deficiency or kidney yin deficiency are as follows: yang deficiency: fear of cold, hands or feet are easy to catch cold. Yin deficiency: fear of heat, hot palms, soles and hearts, that is, "five upset and hot".

1, the tongue is weak, tender and fat, with white fur; Thin tongue due to yin deficiency, red tongue with little and dry fur.

2, yin deficiency is easy to be thin, and yang deficiency is easy to be fat.

3, mental fatigue due to yang deficiency, yin deficiency and dryness.

4, yang deficiency is pale and dull, yin deficiency is red, and the face is blushing.
