Taking what is commonly used in TCM clinical practice as the research object

The human body, which is commonly used in TCM clinical practice, is used as the research object.

Clinical TCM takes the human body as the research object, and proposes methods and measures for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases by studying the physiological and pathological characteristics of the human body and the occurrence and development of diseases.

In the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, doctors usually divide the human body into different systems such as organs, meridians, and qi and blood, and achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases through the regulation and balance of these systems.

Specifically, commonly used clinical research objects in traditional Chinese medicine include the human body’s internal organs, meridians, qi, blood, body fluids, etc.

Among them, the internal organs include the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, etc., the meridians include the twelve meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians, etc., and the qi and blood include qi, blood, body fluid, etc.

By observing, questioning, and examining these research subjects, TCM doctors comprehensively analyze the patient's condition and physical characteristics and formulate targeted treatment plans.

In addition, TCM clinical practice also pays attention to the impact of environment, emotion, diet and other factors on the human body, emphasizing overall concepts and comprehensive conditioning to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

In short, clinical TCM takes the human body as the research object, and through comprehensive research on all aspects of the human body, it provides an important theoretical and practical basis for the clinical practice of TCM.

Basic characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine: The basic characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine include holistic concepts and dialectical treatment.

The holistic concept is TCM’s understanding of the unity, integrity and connection of the human body.

Wholeness, that is, unity, completeness and connection, is the macroscopic understanding of the human body and the nature of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, and is the basic way of thinking in traditional Chinese medicine theory.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is an organic whole, that humans and the natural environment are closely related, that heaven and man correspond to each other, and that humans should conform to nature and correspond to heaven and earth. Therefore, the holistic concept is emphasized in diagnosis, treatment, disease prevention, and health preservation.

Dialectical treatment is the basic principle and method of traditional Chinese medicine in understanding and treating diseases.

Dialectics is to analyze and synthesize the data, symptoms and signs collected from the four diagnostic methods (inspection, smell, inquiry and palpation) to identify the cause, nature, location of the disease and the relationship between evil and righteousness, and summarize and judge it as a certain

Evidence of nature.

Treatment is to determine the corresponding treatment method based on the dialectical results.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes individualized treatment that is tailored to the person, time and local conditions, which is the spiritual essence of dialectical treatment.
