1 Recently, I have also heard some debates about traditional Chinese medicine. I think the problem with traditional Chinese medicine is very simple. It just depends on whether the treatment is effective. What to see? It depends on the efficacy. Traditional Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years and has treated countless diseases. Today, if someone still asks: "Can Chinese medicine cure diseases?" this question is equivalent to: "Can rice satisfy hunger?" If pests appear in the rice fields, Chinese medicine's solution ideas Yes: maintain ecological balance and let the frogs eat the bugs. People who criticize traditional Chinese medicine say that your method is too primitive, too backward, has no experimental data, and is unscientific! If you want to kill insects scientifically, you must use insecticides. One bottle will make sure they are all gone! After using it, it turned out to be true. Not only were the pests extinct, but also the turtles, snakes, eels, sparrows, and frogs in the rice fields were all extinct. The ecological balance in the rice fields was destroyed. In my opinion, natural methods are the best way to solve problems. The human body has a strong and perfect self-regulation ability. This is the essence of human beings after a long evolution and cannot be replaced by any medicine. Not destroying the human body's instinctive, natural, and innate self-regulation ability is the highest law for maintaining health! If so-called scientific methods are used to destroy the ecological balance and self-regulation ability of the human body, then the more advanced the means, the more serious the consequences will be! There were days when man conquered nature and transformed barren mountains and wetlands into farmland. As a result, soil erosion, flash floods and sand and dust spread everywhere. So now, we are busy converting farmland into forests. The universe and nature that current science can explain are only a very small part of the whole. All things in the universe are interdependent, interdependent, and follow natural and perfect laws and regulations. To the extent that humans transform nature, they will be punished by nature. Traditional Chinese medicine follows the way of heaven and follows nature, and never forcibly changes anything. What it pursues is to restore the original balance of the human body, which is a university science that conforms to the "Tao". 2. When treating diseases, Chinese medicine focuses on people and the whole body. It first finds out what state the person's body is in, then adjusts the body's functions during treatment, and then allows the body's own disease resistance to eliminate the disease. Finding out what state a person's body is in is called syndrome differentiation. How does Chinese medicine differentiate syndrome? When visiting a patient, you need to look at the patient's complexion and understand the overall condition. Traditional Chinese medicine has a famous "Song of Ten Questions": "One asks about cold and heat, two asks about sweat, three asks about diet, four asks about stool, five asks about head and body, six asks about chest and abdomen, seven questions about deafness and eight thirsty should all be identified, nine questions about old diseases, ten questions about causes, and then Taking medicine and ginseng at the same time will cause changes, especially for women, who will ask about their menstrual periods. Delayed and rapid collapse can be seen. Add a phrase to tell the pediatrician that smallpox and measles are all experienced. "These problems of cold and heat, defecation, diet, sleep, menstruation, etc. are all related to the whole." related. After asking clearly, you have a basic understanding of the patient's general condition and past constitution, and only after the syndrome differentiation is accurate, can you outline and focus on the most important problem at present, and the secondary problems will be easily solved. Traditional Chinese medicine has eight outlines, called "yin, yang, exterior, interior, cold, heat, deficiency, and excess." It uses yin and yang as the outline to classify the location of the disease (exterior, interior), the nature of the disease symptoms (cold, Heat), the growth and decline of good and evil (deficiency, excess) are summarized together to determine the disease syndrome. If Yang is deficient, replenish Yang; if Yin is deficient, replenish Yin; if both Yin and Yang are deficient, replenish both Yin and Yang. If only one aspect is insufficient, the effect will be extremely obvious after a few treatments. Some people have a serious imbalance of yin and yang, with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, so they need to replenish yin and subdue yang. "Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity" is a complex disease that is difficult to treat. Once I met a patient, she was in a state of confusion. She was afraid of cold when it was cold, and afraid of heat when it was hot. Her feet were so cold that she had to wrap them up tightly with quilts, and her face was so hot that she was sweating profusely. She was completely like The performance of the two people is like Mount Kilimanjaro. The bottom of the mountain is the temperate zone and the mountain is the cold zone. According to Chinese medicine, this is excess in the upper part and deficiency in the lower part. She told me that she had sought treatment everywhere, but other doctors were not sure. She had already prepared a shroud for her at home, and that Western medicine had no way of treating her. She could only treat the head for headaches and the feet for foot pain. For a patient like this, we need to use traditional Chinese medicine to refresh her body, remove the overactive parts, and fill in the deficient ones. The so-called "make up for the deficiencies and remove the excess". After two months, when the symptoms of virtual and actual symptoms disappeared, she was prescribed an ointment to consolidate it. 3. For the medicines we usually take, more than 10 medicines are considered too much, and they are considered compound medicines. Compared with ointments, decoctions sometimes appear to be weak and not powerful enough. Taking the ointment during the winter season is to properly condition the patient. The ointment can capture the key points of a person's physique, and the most important thing is to focus on supplementation! Why should the ointment be eaten in winter? Because it is more replenishing in winter. Man is a product of nature, and both man and nature must go through "spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage." Sweating lasts longer in summer, so if you take supplements, they will be gone as soon as you sweat. In winter, the pores shrink and the human body is in a closed state. At this time, if there are many deficiencies, you can make up for the deficiencies and make up for the shortcomings of the human body. People with hyperactive yang can subdue yang appropriately. What is qian yang? Let the "fire" sneak into the "water", the fire is still there, but let the water restrict it and prevent it from rising, so as to achieve the balance of yang and yang, and the secret of yin and yang. Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the four words "Yin Ping Yang Mi" and revolves around the principles of these four words from beginning to end. As long as the yin and yang are balanced, the body will be in good health and the five yangs will be in good health. Specifically speaking of how to replenish the internal organs? First, we must distinguish between yin deficiency and yang deficiency, and then look at the specific organs, such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Which organ is deficient will be supplemented according to the syndrome. Whether it is tonifying the lungs, kidneys, spleen, liver, or stomach, every organ is the same, and attention should be paid to the secret of Yin and Yang.

For example, when nourishing the lungs, is it a deficiency of lung yin or lung yang? Tonifying lung yin and tonifying lung yang are completely different, they are opposites. Or there is a more complicated situation, what should I do? This is where doctors decide whether to use medicine wisely or not. In the later stages of "old chronic bronchitis", lung disease and kidney disease will inevitably develop into kidney inability to accept qi. Why does the lungs affect the kidneys? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs and kidneys have a mother-child relationship with each other. The lungs govern qi, and the kidneys are the root of qi. The lungs govern the release of qi, and the kidneys govern the reception of qi. Deficiency of lung qi and disease from mother to child will damage the kidneys. Therefore, people with poor lungs often have kidney problems. The kidneys are not able to absorb Qi, and you will be breathless when talking, walking, or whenever you move. This is kidney deficiency. Kidney deficiency is mostly caused by kidney yang deficiency, so it is necessary to replenish kidney yang. "Old chronic branch" also has lung deficiency, and the deficiency syndrome will also become a certain syndrome. "Old chronic bronchitis" can no longer spit out phlegm, and a large amount of phlegm accumulates in the lungs, which is a symptom. Therefore, when prescribing ointment for "old chronic branch", you should pay attention to the above discharge and phlegm. You need to cough up phlegm, cleanse phlegm, and resolve phlegm. If the kidneys cannot accept qi, then the kidneys must be replenished. This ointment not only clears the lungs, resolves phlegm, and tonifies kidney qi, but also nourishes and relieves qi. It restrains and supports each other, and is comprehensively considered. From this point of view, compared with the ointment, is the single-flavored medicine a bit weak? Furthermore, while replenishing lung qi, it can be balanced and replenished with lung yin, then the medicinal properties can have a suppressive effect. While the ointment is tonic for the internal organs, it must be properly suppressed. 4. A person's rest environment, work environment, and family environment are not only factors that cause disease, but also necessary conditions for treatment. Among the people who come to prescribe ointment, some people have sub-healthy constitutions, and it is difficult to tell them what diseases they have. However, they feel that they are prone to fatigue due to their young age, and it is difficult to recover after work fatigue. In fact, this is sub-health. This happens when work pressure is relatively high, you are overworked, and you are too nervous. There is no way to deal with the high pressure at work. Everyone is competing desperately. Take a breath, this business may not be yours, or someone else may be sitting in this seat. Then I would advise those who are in sub-healthy condition to take some ointment to regulate their health in winter. Sub-healthy people are very suitable for taking ointment. There are also cases where the condition has changed relatively little, or the condition has been relieved and is in the consolidation stage. In these three cases, ointment is more effective. On the contrary, when the condition changes relatively rapidly and rapidly, it is not suitable to use ointments. When the condition changes greatly, doctors are like "officers and soldiers catching robbers." Sometimes you catch something, and sometimes you catch something different. The medicine should be adjusted from time to time. The paste recipe is a fixed recipe, which is obviously not suitable. Another thing is that Chinese medicine emphasizes that "the disease will stop immediately." For example, a patient who originally had difficulty in defecation will have diarrhea after treatment. The ointment has a relatively long taking period, and it lasts for a season once it is taken, which is obviously not suitable. There are also some "diseases of wealth" that are often caused by failure to follow scientific and reasonable diet and living habits. How to say it? For example, some people eat a lot of food and meat every day, and drink several bottles of strong liquor. It actually creates an acid-base imbalance in the body. Therefore, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and gout will follow. There are also some people who are better off financially and stay up all night in bars and dance halls, feasting and feasting, worrying only about dawn and not night. This is not in line with a scientific lifestyle and will definitely disrupt the body's biological clock and cause some biological imbalances. If you are not balanced, you will get sick. Those who have poor sleep or insomnia are prone to tumors, and these patients account for a large proportion of the incidence of tumors. A drunken lifestyle makes it easy to get these diseases. In this case, these unreasonable lifestyles must be corrected. At the same time, proper winter supplementation can be used to adjust the physiological deficiencies caused by unreasonable lifestyles and prevent more serious diseases. Some of the over-eating pastes mentioned just now have a thick flavor, and you can use some paste recipes to remove the excess. Because Chinese medicine has two major principles: make up for deficiencies and remove excess. The excess parts in the body can be removed by using ointment to remove these lesions caused by overeating. For example, high blood lipids, high blood viscosity, and diabetes caused by overeating can all be treated with ointments. Some overweight people will lose weight after a winter of conditioning. Why is this? Obesity is sometimes caused by poor metabolic function. Traditional Chinese medicine says that there is phlegm and dampness in the body, so drugs are used to transport fat and ointments are used to transport phlegm and dampness away. Therefore, some ointments can help you lose weight, and the weight loss effect is relatively solid. Eat three meals a day as usual, don't worry about your mouth. Relying on diet to lose weight is unreliable. If you eat too much, you will gain weight again.
