What is the meaning of risk in Chinese medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the term risk refers to the body being attacked by external factors such as cold, heat, dampness, dryness and wind, resulting in discomfort or illness. Such external factors can spread inside the human body through climate, disease transmission and other means, triggering a variety of diseases. For example, colds and flu are caused by the body being attacked by cold air, which is known as wind-cold in Chinese medicine.

Risk is not only a factor that affects human health, but also an important concept in Chinese medicine theory. In TCM, each person has a different constitution and a different ability to resist external factors. Therefore, Chinese medicine emphasizes prevention and conditioning, and strengthens the body's immunity and resistance to disease through medication and acupressure to reduce risks.

In modern society, the risks to the human body are increasing due to the increasingly complex living environment and the growing number of various factors such as pollution, stress and tension. As a result, the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has also been widely recognized and applied in modern times. As today's society advocates a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, the preventive and conditioning role of Chinese medicine has been given more attention and importance, and has become an important part of scientific health.
