Under the change of climate and natural conditions all year round, people's physiological conditions will also be affected. In different seasons, we need to take in different nutrients to supplement the body's needs, and your menu should be changed all year round. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that things in the world are not independent, but in a state of mutual harmony. Ancient China people had unique views on the relationship and laws of nature. They understood the world with a holistic view, and even founded the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements to explain various complex phenomena. And human beings are an organic whole and belong to a part of nature; Therefore, it must be influenced by the external environment and climate, and correspondingly, it will produce different physiological or pathological reactions according to needs. For example, in different seasons, the phenomenon of body pulse, including rhythm, speed, pulsation and tension, has changed. Spring tends to string pulse, and vascular tension increases; Summer is biased towards the flood pulse, and the pulse is grand and sudden; Autumn is biased towards floating veins, and fingers can clearly touch the pulse by lightly pressing the skin surface; In winter, it tends to sink the pulse, and it is not obvious to press it lightly. You have to press it again to feel the pulsation. Generally, Chinese medicine practitioners will consider these factors when differentiating symptoms. In addition, the occurrence, development and changes of diseases are seasonal; Spring is prone to febrile diseases; Summer is prone to heatstroke; There is dryness in autumn; There is frostbite in winter. Therefore, we need to make different dietary adjustments.
Express one's feelings
It is an important condition for people to live a long and healthy life. Tao Hongjing put forward in the Record of Keeping Healthy and Prolonging Life: "The way to cultivate one's nature is to have great sorrow and grief, which means that those who can be moderate will live a long life.".
Abstain from lust
Keeping in good health and seeking quietness make the body and mind in a state of worrying about everything, and also require people to have noble sentiments and be open-minded. Sun Simiao said: "People who don't reach the end of their eyebrows, or who die, all do not care for themselves, do their best, and invite fame and fortune." Therefore, people who are good at keeping fit "don't want to do what they want", "don't want more wherever they go" and "don't want to care about money first when they want to talk about good deeds".
Distal atrioventricular
Of sexual abstinence. People's growth and development depend on kidney essence, and the kidney essence is full of life, and people's vitality and disease resistance are strong. If you want to protect kidney essence, you must control your sexual desire. If you are greedy for sex and indulge in excess, it will inevitably damage your essence and harm your life.
Suitable for four seasons
People live in nature, and adapting to the seasonal climate is an important content of health preservation. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" said: "The longevity of the elderly is not short but continuous, and it is also necessary to finish the number, and the matter of finishing the number is concerned with harm." The so-called harm refers to the abnormal climate such as cold, heat, dryness and temperature, which is called "six evils" in Chinese medicine.
Diet sparingly
Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and improper diet will hurt the spleen and stomach, which will make people sick and premature aging. The harm of Neijing to improper diet is discussed in many places, such as "Yin is born in five flavors", "Diet is doubled, and the stomach is hurt", "Too much salt makes the pulse congeal and cry, and too much bitterness makes the skin dry and the hair fail ...". Sun Simiao's discussion on diet taboos is more comprehensive and scientific. Besides common sense such as "Don't eat too much, keep it simple", "Always warm food" and "Always light sweet and light things", he also described diet methods and food hygiene, such as "Delicious food should be chewed, raw food should not be swallowed coarsely", "Don't talk too much" and "Rub your face and abdomen with your hands every time you eat.
Constant exercise
People are an organic whole, and regular exercise makes them energetic and healthy. As early as the Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo advocated physical exercise to prevent diseases. He pointed out: "If the human body wants to work, it will be exhausted if it is shaken, and the blood will circulate, and the disease will not be born." Sun Simiao also said in Qian Jin Fang: "The way to cultivate one's nature is always to work hard" and "the body wants to work hard often, but not multipolar", reminding people to exercise regularly to get rid of illness and prolong life.
Shun temperament
It means that to live a long and healthy life, you must support yourself according to the law of age. Sun Simiao analyzed the old people and said, "When people are over 50 years old, the sun will decline, and the damage will come to the day. The heart is fading away, forgetting the past and losing the future, and being lazy with others are not satisfactory. Audio-visual instability, more retreat and less progress, the sun and the moon are not equal, everything is scattered, the heart is bored, forgetful and angry, and the temperament is mutated. " This tells us that a series of physiological and morphological changes will occur after people enter old age. We should love and care for the elderly and adjust them with their temperament so as to help them enjoy their prime.
Drug bait
Life is alive, people enjoy different benefits, and it is inevitable that people will be hurt. Therefore, taking medicinal bait is also one of the contents of health preservation. The ancients attached importance to taking baits to prevent and treat diseases, preserve health and prolong life, and drew up many baits and prescriptions to prolong life. However, keeping in good health can't rely solely on taking bait, otherwise, "even though you often take bait and don't know the art of nourishing nature, it is difficult to live forever" and "taking Yuye Jindan can't prolong your life".
Drink medicinal liquor
The Huangdi Neijing said: "Xia San Moon, this is called Fanxiu." Three months in summer is a season of prosperity and beauty for all things. The weather drops, the earth's atmosphere rises, the heaven and earth's atmosphere meet up and down, and plants blossom and bear fruit. Summer belongs to fire, and the five internal organs correspond to the heart, and the heart fire can block the lung, so in summer, people can eat more pungent things and less bitter things, which will help to replenish the lung. In summer, people should keep a good sleep quality, and sleep time is longer in summer, so people should keep a good sleep quality. In this aspect, medicinal liquor has been studied by the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In their research, they think that medicinal liquor can regulate the physical aspects of the body in some aspects, and the regulation of medicinal liquor can relieve stress, soothe the nerves and replenish blood. In summer, medicinal liquor can reduce irritability and reduce anxiety caused by summer. In summer, the climate is hot and dry, and the hot ones are cool and the dry ones are clear, so as to clear away dryness and heat. Medicinal liquor enters the spleen and stomach in different directions to help reduce fire and diminish inflammation. Medicinal liquor inherits different theoretical theories. The choice of medicinal liquor should be investigated objectively, not blindly. Pay more attention to choosing medicinal liquor in summer. The medicinal liquor sold in the market, such as "Miaoqin medicinal liquor" and "Hongmao medicinal liquor", is more trusted by the society. At present, China's per capita GDP has exceeded 4,000 US dollars, and it is rapidly advancing to a higher level. After people's needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation are met, they will inevitably pay more attention to mental and health problems. In today's society, with the accelerated pace of people's life, the living environment is constantly changing, sub-health groups are increasing, and public health problems are becoming more and more prominent. Health preservation is to cultivate vitality, prevent diseases and strive for health and longevity, which is in line with people's current needs.
From the demand of the whole society, in terms of professional health care service in China, TCM health care will be the future development direction of health care service industry. Traditional Chinese medicine health care has a long history in China, and its health care methods are varied, which can be roughly divided into five categories: diet, medicated diet, acupuncture, massage and qigong, in addition to psychological health care methods. Of course, TCM health care also needs to be targeted at different genders, ages and seasons. More than 1/3 people in China are in sub-health state. With the enhancement of people's health awareness, the market of Chinese medicine health care industry will gradually develop. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health, China's health industry, including health care industry, pharmaceutical industry and health-related industries, only accounts for 4%-5% of GNP, which is lower than that of many developing countries, while developed countries generally account for 15%. In 20 13, the scale of China's health industry is expected to reach 2 trillion, and the needs of different levels, such as the needs for the aged and health care, are growing rapidly.
Main ways
Traditional Chinese medicine health care mainly includes: meridian health care, physical health care, qigong health care, exercise health care, sexual health care, emotional health care, sleep health care, environmental health care, daily health care, diet health care, timely health care, four seasons health care, entertainment health care, part health care, medicine health care, bathing health care, detoxification health care, calming the mind health care, yoga health care and so on. Sleep, convenience and diet. The discussion topic of TCM health care is to organize netizens and medical staff to study TCM health care, with the main purpose of promoting classical TCM knowledge, excavating folk TCM prescriptions, popularizing TCM culture and expanding the influence of TCM; Introduce folk Chinese medicine prescriptions, doctors and knowledge of Chinese medicine, spread Chinese medicine culture and enhance people's understanding of Chinese medicine. Introduce TCM objectively, fairly and popularly, respect the understanding of TCM from different cultural backgrounds, and increase people's correct understanding of TCM on the basis of equal exchange. Publish and exchange Chinese medicine information, national policies, scientific research results, etc.
Characteristic therapy
The characteristic therapies in TCM health preservation are divided into: cupping, scraping, qigong massage and medicated diet.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is to pierce a millineedle into a patient's body according to a certain point, and use acupuncture techniques such as twisting and lifting to treat diseases. Moxibustion is to burn the skin with burning moxa according to certain acupoints, and to treat diseases with thermal stimulation. It is often used in people's lives nowadays.
Cupping method: it was called "angle method" in ancient times. This is a kind of therapy which uses cups and jars as tools, exhausts the air in them by heat to produce negative pressure, which makes them suck on the skin and cause blood stagnation. Ancient doctors used it to suck blood and expel pus when treating sores and abscesses, and later it was extended to medical diseases such as tuberculosis and rheumatism.
Massage: It is based on the theory of zang-fu organs and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is a physical treatment in nature. From the treatment of massage, it can be divided into health massage, sports massage and medical massage.
Scraping: It is based on the skin theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and uses tools such as horns and jade to scrape and wipe the relevant parts of the skin, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Scraping can dilate capillaries, increase sweat gland secretion, promote blood circulation, and have immediate effect on wind-cold arthralgia caused by hypertension, heatstroke and muscle soreness. Regular scraping can regulate menstruation, relieve fatigue and increase immune function.
Qigong: It is a kind of physical and mental exercise method which takes the adjustment of breathing, physical activity and consciousness (breath adjustment, shape adjustment and heart adjustment) as a means to strengthen the body, prevent and treat diseases, keep fit and prolong life, and develop potential.
Medicinal diet originated from Chinese traditional diet and Chinese medicine dietotherapy culture. Medicinal diet is a delicious food with certain color, fragrance, taste and shape under the guidance of Chinese medicine, cookery and nutrition theory, which is made by combining Chinese medicine with some foods with medicinal value in strict accordance with the formula of medicinal diet and adopting China's unique diet cooking technology and modern scientific methods.
Misunderstanding 1: To see Chinese medicine is to eat Chinese medicine.
Positive solution: Western medicine regards the body as a machine, and some parts are damaged, so replace and repair them. However, Chinese medicine regards body and spirit as a whole, and Yin and Yang are opposite and interdependent. Therefore, when treating diseases, Chinese medicine often cures the discomfort by restoring the body to a state of dynamic balance between Yin and Yang. So it has an advantage in prevention. Besides oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, there are also external application of drugs, meditation, aromatherapy, medicated bath and psychotherapy.
Myth # 2: Keeping in good health is for the elderly.
Positive solution: Don't think that health care is only for longevity, or that health care is only for the elderly. Health preservation lies in harmonizing yin and yang, circulating qi and blood, maintaining physical health and improving psychological adjustment ability. Good skin is also cultivated. For people of any age, keeping in good health is a necessary lesson.
Myth 3: If you are slightly uncomfortable, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
Positive solution: frequent medical treatment and taking medicine will reduce the body's own immune ability. As the saying goes, "it's a three-point poison", and taking medicine has side effects. The human immune function has strong anti-virus ability and self-recovery ability, so it is the first to be healthy and enhance its own resistance. Knowing some knowledge of Chinese medicine maintenance at home can prevent problems before they happen, and even if you feel slightly uncomfortable, you can recuperate and recover yourself.

Treatise on febrile diseases
Treatise on Febrile Diseases was written by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous physician in the Han Dynasty. It is also called the four classics of ancient Chinese medicine in China with Huangdi Neijing, Difficult Classic and Shennong Herbal Classic, and the treatment based on syndrome differentiation is its soul. The book *** 10 volume, 22 articles, 397 methods, except for repetition, * * * has prescriptions 1 12, focusing on a series of pathological changes caused by human body feeling the evil of wind-cold and the methods of dialectical treatment.
In the book, the diseases and syndromes are divided into six types, namely, the sun, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Jueyin and Shaoyin, namely the so-called "six meridians"; According to the strength of human body's disease resistance, the urgency of the disease situation and other factors, the various syndromes in the evolution of exogenous diseases are summarized into symptom characteristics, the location of the lesion, the damage to viscera, the trend of cold and heat, and the rise and fall of pathogenic factors as the basis of dialectical treatment. In the long-term struggle against diseases and aging, traditional Chinese medicine has found many simple and easy ways to prolong life.
The head is a smart house, and it combs 500 diseases every day.
The head is a smart house, and the important 12 meridians of the human body, more than 40 large and small acupoints, and more than a dozen special stimulation areas all converge on the head. Using a wooden comb or bone comb instead of a small silver needle, so-called acupuncture massage or stimulation can be performed on these acupoints and meridians to get rid of diseases and keep fit. Combing one's hair frequently is indeed a simple and easy health care measure to actively maintain one's essence, qi and spirit.
The sole of the foot is the second heart, so it is good for health to rub the spring frequently.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that more than 60 acupoints on the foot are closely related to the 12 meridians of the internal organs, which are covered with the reflection areas of related organs of the whole body. However, because the bottom of the foot is far away from the heart and its resistance is low, it is the congenital weak link of the human body, which objectively provides favorable conditions for the invasion of cold and dampness, so the health care of the foot is particularly important than other parts. Rubbing Yongquan point after frequent warm bath can help to get rid of illness and prolong life.
Swallow 300 mouthfuls of saliva every day to keep you alive to ninety-nine.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that saliva is the essence of human body, stored in Dantian, and then transformed into fluid and Dan, thus becoming essence, which plays a role in invigorating stomach with spleen, moistening orifices, moistening limbs and five internal organs, strengthening kidney, replenishing yuan, smoothing joints and nourishing brain marrow. So it makes sense to swallow saliva often.
A hundred times a day, Gu Dao was cured and prolonged.
Gu Dao, also known as anus. Pinch is lifting and contracting. In layman's terms, it is to do the action of shrinking the anus. Sun Simiao advised the world that "the channel of the valley should always be pinched" in Pillow in China, and thought that the muscles around the anus should always be in a state of exercise in order to keep fit, especially for the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids.
There are more than 300 teeth in the morning and evening, and seven old and eighty teeth do not fall.
Tapping teeth refers to a self-care regimen of repeatedly tapping each other with upper and lower teeth rhythmically. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that frequent tooth tapping can strengthen kidney, stabilize essence, balance yin and yang, dredge qi and blood, make local meridians unblocked and delay aging.
Rub your abdomen for a hundred times, so as to harmonize qi and blood and benefit the spirit.
Rubbing the abdomen, that is, massaging the abdomen back and forth by hand, including the abdominal wall, abdominal cavity and internal organs, is a health care method. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the abdomen is the Miyagi of the internal organs of the human body and the source of Yin and Yang qi and blood. Rubbing the abdomen frequently can regulate the spleen and stomach, regulate qi and blood, supplement the spirit, nourish the kidney essence, enrich the five internal organs, drive away all evils caused by exogenous pathogens, and clear up all kinds of internal injuries.
People's kidney qi passes through the ears, pulling and rubbing to strengthen the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the ear is the external orifice above the kidney, and the hearing is sensitive if the ears are healthy and the kidney channels are smooth, the kidney qi is sufficient and the kidney essence is full. Pulling, massaging, rubbing and pinching ears are actually various forms of physical stimulation to both ears.
Eliminating fatigue, bodybuilding and stretching, the blood flow is the highest.
The so-called stretching refers to self-exercise of straightening neck, lifting arms, breathing and expanding chest, stretching waist, moving joints and relaxing spine.
Sit quietly with peace of mind to prolong life, adjust your body and breath and add your mind.
Medical research shows that emotion and health are closely linked. People who are optimistic and cheerful can make their internal organs function healthily and enhance their resistance to foreign diseases, and at the same time, they can engage in continuous intellectual activities in a calm emotional state. Therefore, one of the ways for the ancients to take care of their health is to rest at ease. There have always been different opinions about life phenomena, each with its own reason and bias. "Life is in motion", in the literal sense, everything in the universe is in motion, and so is human life. "Life lies in stillness" also has its reason. Here, life lies in balance.
① Environmental balance: All healthy and long-lived lives must be in balance with the environment. It is necessary to protect the big environment suitable for human life and create a small environment suitable for people's life. If people are out of balance with the environment, they will get sick and even cannot survive.
2 nutritional balance: to reconcile the five flavors, not partial eclipse. Balanced nutrition can make people develop and grow in a balanced way.
③ Dynamic and static balance: Neijing says: "Long lying down hurts the qi" and "sedentary hurts the meat" ... To keep healthy, we must be relaxed, work and rest should be combined, and dynamic and static balance should be achieved.
④ Psychological balance: Emotion is the baton of life, and mental collapse will lead to physical collapse. Anger and melancholy can make people sick.
⑤ Balance of Yin and Yang: Everything has Yin and Yang attributes. Once Yin and Yang are out of balance, people will get sick. "Huangdi Neijing" said: negative is yang disease, and yang wins is yin disease; Yang wins is hot, and Yin wins is cold; Yin deficiency leads to hyperactivity of Yang, while Yang deficiency leads to excess of Yin.
It can be said that "life lies in balance", and if it is out of balance, it will lead to illness and even death.
