I self-study Chinese medicine had taken some detours, summarized some of their own experience, I hope to help you.

At the beginning of my medical studies, I skimmed over the books that explained herbs and remedies because I was not sure about the current medicinal herbs.

Moxibustion is the first medical skill I chose to learn, my favorite teachers are Ma Shaoqun, Zhou Fansheng's books, Fan Changwei's videos, and my favorite teaching videos about meridian points are Mr. Ni Haixia's teaching videos.

The daughter's cold feet are solved by moxibustion Guanyuan point at one time. The mother's condition is more complicated, so the moxibustion points are more numerous and the effect is slower.

After that, I learned acupuncture techniques and preferred the books of Mr. Wanfangqin Wanjian Needle in Beijing, Dong's Qi Points, Ziwu Liuzhi and so on.

Mostly, I experience the needle sensation on myself, and I have also solved my wife's gingivitis problem with needling the Quchi point.

Learning medicine about six months because my mother's heart pain is unbearable, and western hospitals and Chinese hospitals have seen a few times after no effect, my mother refused to go to the hospital again, I had to try to prescribe my own, using the typhoid fever theory of gui zhi gan cao tong, quickly cured the heart pain of the main evidence, and achieved efficacy, and then used peony and licorice tong to cure my mother's abdominal pain and bulging and chronic constipation problem.

This experience made me determine the belief of focusing on learning the theory of typhoid fever, will be the theory of typhoid fever 260 pairs of formulae one by one to collect and organize, and made into a jitterbug video segments at any time to learn, and during the period of time and cured a variety of family members of disease.

My summary of the four steps of self-study of Chinese medicine during the study period

1. Understand famous doctors, know good books, focus on typhoid fever

2. Learning by taking advantage of the information age

3. Organize your study notes

4. Attention to detail (buying and cooking medicines and taking them)

Typhoid scripture plus moxibustion points are my current mainstay for my family's health.

Continuing to study medicine has enriched me.

My family's health makes me happy.

Headline answering questions is my pleasure.

Convincing more people to study TCM is my motivation.

If you need an e-medicine book, come to me.

Very much so and it's a freebie!!!

To learn Chinese medicine must first understand the formation of Chinese medicine, and then the image of the doctrine that the yin and yang, the five elements, understand the yin and yang and mutual root in order to understand the five elements, understand the five shapes in order to control the human body internal organs referred to represent,, than (such as, lungs belong to the gold, the kidney belongs to the water and liver belongs to the wood,,, as in Western anatomy, and then only meridians,,, the nervous system as well,,, so the same as in Western medicine, you first need to understand the human body structure and Physiological function in order to get started,, as for the later is the herb to understand the drugs, drug pharmacology and drugs go meridians after the opposite of the drug (eighteen anti, nineteen fear, phase beard, phase evil, phase make and kill, etc.) with the basic essentials of the drug (the king of the drug, the subject of the drug) and then grasp the pulse diagnostics, the basic grasp of the pulse (first of all, grasp the six main pulse, namely, floating, sinking, delayed, counting, false, real) in order to cut,,, grasp a variety of basic points After you can see, Neijing, typhoid fever and warm disease and a series of medical writings, these you are basically thorough you can have, look, smell, ask, and cut the diagnosis of the basic essentials and further study diagnosis and treatment,, in general a person to treat everything is limited, it is best to worship more teachers, and ask for advice of course, into the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine for the best where there are professors, specialists and teachers of various disciplines (such as meridian, pulse diagnosis, prescriptions, etc.) so many! Teachers teach out to create you become a more complete Chinese medicine practitioner.

If you're an amateur who wants to learn Chinese medicine

Then it is better to read the books Approaching Chinese Medicine by Tang Yun and Thinking about Chinese Medicine by Liu Lihong first. It can help you build up an initial impression of Chinese medicine.

Next, if you can afford it, you should look directly at ancient texts. Don't read modern TCM textbooks, you generally won't use them even if you do. And don't read the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine and the Treatise on Typhoid Fever or anything like that first, without a little bit of foundation, read the brain is also confused.

Read ancient books starting with Huang Yuan-Yi's The Four Sacred Sources of the Heart because his books are the most logical and understandable at first glance. Then read his Changsha Yakushu to establish a preliminary theory of Chinese medicine. Huang Yuanwu's books are not sold individually now, bookstores are full of Huang Yuanwu's books. Huang Yuanyu specializes in the five elements theory.

On down to read The Explication of Zheng Qin'an's Medical Books. This book is actually a compilation of three of Zheng Qin'an's medical books, elucidated by Tang Buqi. Zheng Qin'an specializes in yin and yang theory models. Read this for general illnesses you can basically solve on your own.

Down the road you will have to continue reading Huang Yuanwu's Hanging Explanations of Typhoid Fever and Hanging Explanations of the Golden Chamber as an enhancement. These two books are available in Huang Yuanwu's complete works.

At this point, you can take a look at the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, and once you look at it, you'll understand a lot of things. As for the Treatise on Typhoid Fever, it is more convenient to read it in the Explanation of the Medical Books of Zheng Qin'an and the Complete Works of Huang Yuan'yu, both of whom have made notes on it. Reading the original directly without notes will definitely not work for beginners.

By this point, you are certainly more advanced in Chinese medicine than many Chinese medicine practitioners out there.

First of all, practicing good mouth, can speak well, know astronomy and geography, the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors to the present day, know everything, play and sing all kinds of proficiency, trickery and deception, hand to hand!

There are many ways to start learning TCM on one's own. Some people start by memorizing the Tangtou Ge and the Medicinal Properties Fugue, some people start by studying and learning pulse diagnosis, some people start by studying the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, some people start by studying the articles of the Treatise on Typhoid Fever, some people start by studying the Warm Diseases, some people start by studying the Jinjian of Medical Doctrine, some people start by studying the Zhongzhong Ganshi Lu of Medical Sciences, some people start by grasping and recognizing drugs, and some people start by copying prescriptions and sitting in clinics with their teachers. Some people start from copying prescriptions and sitting in clinics with their teachers.

No matter what you start with, there is always the possibility of becoming everyone. The above is my summary of the ways to study when starting with ancient and modern famous Chinese medicine practitioners. As long as you keep studying you can achieve a glimpse of the whole picture. Personally, I started learning pulse diagnosis, and I also practiced Nei Dan Gong since I was a child. This is because practicing qigong allows us to experience the movement of qi as well as to sense the patient's qi field and diagnose diseases. If we do not practice qigong, we may think that qi is a philosophical concept, but after practicing qigong, we know that qi is not a philosophical concept but a material concept. It is very good for learning Chinese medicine and learning internal qigong can also help us to make diagnosis.

First of all, forget the math and science students.

This way you won't have questions about the errors within the basic theories of Chinese medicine.

Second, forget basic logic.

That way you won't suspect contradictions in TCM theory.

Understand Chinese can learn Chinese medicine, see the round movement of the ancient Chinese medicine and the four saints heart source, because these two books are more popular introductory books. Secondly, the fire god three books inside the medical theory of the real medical method round typhoid constant theory, the theory of this book is more practical. Self-study of Chinese medicine is not recommended to take their own medicine care of eating bad body. Or help others to see a doctor, once the accident is the illegal practice of medicine. There is not recommended to see the old classics such as Huang Di Nei Jing difficult to scripture A B needle scripture Shen Nong Ben Cao typhoid, these books for ordinary people without the basis of the people equal to the book of heaven, not practical and waste of time. If you are a professional in this line of work recommended to see.

Thanks for the invite!

Self-taught Chinese medicine, which represents what many people think!

How to get started? Again, it represents a lot of confusion!

What the hell should we do? Let me talk about my thoughts!

First, it is important to first figure out why you want to learn Chinese medicine on your own.

Is it an interest? Or do you want to pursue Chinese medicine as a career?

1. For interest! Congratulations, you have found a great interest that will help you and your family's health! And because Chinese medicine is so profound, as long as you put your heart and soul into learning, this interest is enough to benefit you for life!

How to learn? Start with the classics, prefer the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, read it twice more and you will have your own understanding of Chinese medicine.

Then you can start learning other TCM classics! The TCM classics are as vast as the sea of learning! How to choose? The Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases (Typhoid Fever and the Essentials of the Golden Chamber) must be read, and then choose your own, the Pulse Meridian, the Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica, the Treatise on the Origins of Diseases, the Compendium of Materia Medica, and so on, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth!

2. Want to pursue a career as a TCM practitioner!

This depends on your own situation. It is not advisable for people over thirty to start learning Chinese medicine from scratch and take Chinese medicine as a profession (except in special cases)!

Because Chinese medicine has a vast and profound content, it will not bear fruit without three to five years!

And most of my friends over 30 years old have old people and young people, simply put, they have to support their families! Learning Chinese medicine is hard, there is no income and too much pressure! You may have to sit on the bench for a few more years after you finally finish your studies, and it may not pay off!

Secondly, how does TCM get started?

If you want a model, you can refer to the academy's learning program!

Starting from the basic theory of Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine diagnosis and so on.

However, I personally believe that it is not enough to learn this, and that learning Chinese medicine is inseparable from the classics!

I have yet to hear of any TCM practitioner who has not read the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine and the Treatise on Typhoid and Cold Miscellaneous Diseases! That's the point!

I hope my answer will be helpful to you!
