I am a western medicine doctor, clinical medicine! Let me try to answer the question of the subject!

In fact, this should start with the origin of Chinese medicine, because the original Chinese medicine practitioners, not the way we see them now, were Taoist priests who left their homes. The Taoist priests studied the Tao (the connection between the human body and nature) and danjutsu (internal and external dan, internal dan is the dan in the human body's own dantian, and external dan generally refers to elixir) day and night for the sake of longevity. Therefore, he had a deep understanding of the human body and herbalism. At the same time it is the theories of the Taoist priests that have made Chinese medicine remain Taoist after thousands of years.

From my own experience over the years, Western medicine and Chinese medicine actually have something in common. It's all about the pathogenesis and why it happens! ~ how to get to the root of the problem! While Western medicine focuses on the changes in data, Chinese medicine, more from the macro to solve the problem of disease.

Let us talk about the thinking of Chinese medicine. One of the most important features of TCM thinking is that it treats human beings and nature as a whole, and explains the changes that occur in the human body through the now popular theoretical doctrines of yin and yang, five elements, and so on. It focuses on observation from a macro perspective.

Chinese medicine not only focuses on the changes in the human body itself, but also has a close relationship with the environment in which a person lives. Chinese medicine believes that different environments have different effects on the changes in the human body.

Chinese medicine emphasizes functional correlation, no matter what the disease is, it is able to find the source of the disease and make targeted adjustments to it! It allows the organism itself to slowly return to normal! Utilizing the human potential and vitality. In this regard, Western medicine is incomparable.

But Chinese medicine also has his disadvantages, perhaps and the age, many precious Chinese medicine books lost and many herbs extinct as well as geography and climate, environmental changes caused by the medicinal properties of the herbs change also has a relationship, now the Chinese medicine is the treatment of slow but not urgent. Nowadays, Chinese medicine treats the slow but not the urgent. For chronic diseases, i.e., diseases that do not instantly injure the life. Chinese medicine is advantageous, and such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, arterial rupture, traumatic organ fracture hemorrhage, shock and other acute, immediately fatal diseases, at present, Chinese medicine is still better than Western medicine.

However, after these diseases are salvaged, in terms of restoring bodily functions and overall adjustability, the advantages of Chinese medicine are again greater than those of Western medicine.

To summarize. Chinese medicine thinking is actually the Avenue of Nature, which emphasizes the communication between man and heaven and earth. From a macro point of view to regulate the body, so that man and nature become one, to achieve the purpose of a long and healthy life.

Chinese medicine uses the body's own ability, while Western medicine is to change the human body through external forces, there is no difference between strong and weak, used in the mouth, is a good doctor.

Thinking as human beings know nature, know society, know all kinds of forms of cognition; this cognition needs one or several epistemology or methodology to judge the attributes or essence of things, the constant amount of things need to have the characteristics of the standard and code; this requires epistemology and methodology for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Thinking does not differentiate between TCM and Western medicine. If a TCM practitioner analyzes a patient's illness, the thinking method used is to determine the cause of the illness by using the TCM method of yin-yang, five elements, and the eight principles of dialectic to determine the cause of the illness, which is only a form of methodology. The physical method of diagnosis and searching for pathology is the same as that of Western medicine, such as stethoscopes and tactile means. Some conditions require test reports to confirm. For example, the patient's joint pain and swelling; Chinese medicine diagnosis of paralysis; Western medicine diagnosis of rheumatic pain; as long as the blood test to confirm whether the blood sedimentation is high or low, anti-O is normal; this is the most typical qualitative and quantitative analysis. Through a period of treatment (including Chinese and Western medicine) and then through the blood test to see whether it is lower or close to the normal value. Indicators are important data to determine the disease. For example, if a patient when he cut his pulse; his right inch pulse deep pressure when he felt weak pulse; thus to determine his lung capacity; low, small. After treatment, the inches pulse became thicker and stronger. Then the lung capacity was tested by blowing; proving that the lung capacity had increased greatly, etc. ...... So epistemology and methodology is the standard by which all things are judged, and also and the quantitative form of thought patterns. Just for reference.

Thank you for the invitation of the beautiful woman. Simply put, Chinese medicine thinking is the thinking of the Chinese civilization, the Chinese civilization of the same lineage, responding to the overall concept, in the concept of Chinese medicine, the treatment of disease as a have to do things that have to be done, she puts the people into the natural to elaborate, as far as possible, so that people do not have to be sick or have less sick people, I do not know why so many people are against the Chinese medicine, from the patient's point of view, Chinese medicine is very humane medicine Just the modern westernized environment of Chinese medicine and Western medicine is equally impacted, this is an objective fact, Chinese medicine does not need us to deliberately maintain, she itself has a strong vitality, whether you oppose or not, but also can not stop the course of development of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine along with the Chinese civilization of the historical process of the gradual formation of the national sentiment, it can also be said that the opposition to Chinese medicine medicine is opposed to the Chinese civilization, which is not a moral abduction but the This is not a moral abduction, but a concept formed with the development process of history. Personal opinion, welcome to discuss together. Thank you for your time.

Chinese medicine is the use of Chinese medicine thinking to diagnose and deal with diseases.

The ancient tradition of Chinese medicine is not "evidence-based treatment". The so-called evidence-based treatment, formally recognized as the theoretical system of Chinese medicine to treat the time of only 40 years, when Chinese medicine has declined beyond recognition, coupled with the influence of Western medical thinking. In order to keep up with Western medicine, standardization and the subsequent establishment of the diagnosis and treatment system. This is to dilute the mechanism of disease and will be divided into a number of evidence and treatment, its thinking is no longer pure Chinese medicine thinking. The identification of the system of diagnosis and treatment, so that the decline of Chinese medicine is even worse, thus forming a Chinese is not Chinese, Western is not Western monstrosity.

So what is pure TCM thinking?

It is to examine the cause of the disease, find the most fundamental factors that cause the disease, and directly hit the root cause and treatment. This is the thinking and essence of Chinese medicine.

The Neijing said: gas has high and low, the disease has far and near, the evidence has Chinese and foreign, the treatment has light and heavy, the system has odd and even, the party has size. Cold people hot, hot people cold, ...... laborers warm, knot dispersal, stay attacked, dry people moistened, ...... loss of warm, ...... shocked people leveled, on the next, Mo of the bath. ...... open the hair, the appropriate thing for the reason.

Ancient people's understanding of the universe and the human body was basically gained in a state of extreme tranquility, inwardly looking back and forth, sensing and trying to get through, thus "realizing" and "proving" the Way. We, later on, can only "rely on the mind with effort" to realize the way of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and diligently do it, so as to be able to say that the treatment of illnesses to save people.

Since ancient times, doctors have been divided into: Upper Worker, Middle Worker and Lower Worker. The upper work ten full nine, the middle work ten full seven, the lower work ten full six. And rough labor is not into the stream, has been a quack. Another witchdoctor, jianghu wandering doctor, a variety of health gurus, all under the banner of Chinese medicine, pretending to be God, the mystery, its behavior and the liar is no different, can not belong to the ranks of medical workers?

To determine whether a Chinese medicine practitioner is a real Chinese medicine practitioner, we must look at whether he or she has a pure Chinese medicine mindset when diagnosing and treating diseases, that is, "to examine the evidence and make the medicines work together", and whether he or she has put the Chinese medicine theory and methodology into his or her daily life and practiced it continuously. A simple sentence is to see whether they "believe in Chinese medicine, love Chinese medicine and use Chinese medicine". Do not be confused by "gray hair" and "high title".

Ancient saying "medical not three times, do not serve its medicine", any medical personnel, there is no solid theory as a guide, the direction of the wrong, the longer you go away from the goal will only be farther away. No Chinese medicine thinking of Chinese doctors, are not really Chinese medicine. When they are young, they are small quacks, and when they are old, they are old quacks. The difference between them is that the old quacks are better able to confuse patients because they know how to package themselves and are better able to fool patients.

Similarly, is it true that the higher the title of a so-called "famous doctor", such as chief physician or professor, the more powerful a Chinese medicine practitioner must be? Of course not, the modern title can be mixed, many high title personnel still do not learn, and even their own do not believe in Chinese medicine, coupled with the influence of Westernization, they have no Chinese medicine thinking, "famous doctor" is not the same as the "Ming doctor", is only A "famous doctor" is not the same as a "wise doctor", but just a name in name only. He or she may be a good doctor, but it does not mean that he or she is a genuine Chinese medicine practitioner. Therefore, we firmly believe in Chinese medicine, but we should be able to recognize the authenticity of Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine uses yin and yang and the five elements as the theoretical basis, viewing the human body as an organic whole, and through the method of 'looking, sniffing, questioning, and cutting' and the four diagnostic methods.

Through the holistic concept and dialectic treatment, we explore the cause of disease, nature of disease, location of disease, analyze the mechanism of disease and the changes of the five viscera and six bowels, meridians and joints, qi, blood and fluid, and the elimination of evil and righteousness, and then come up with the mechanism of disease, and summarize the pattern of disease, and then formulate the treatments of 'sweating, spitting, lowering, and, warming, clearing, tonifying and eliminating' based on the principle of diagnosis and treatment, and use a variety of treatments including traditional Chinese medicines, acupuncture, acupuncture, tui-na, massage, and cupping to make the human body achieve the harmony of yin and yang and recover. The body achieves the harmonization of yin and yang and recovers.

Chinese medicine treatment lies in the fact that it can assist in restoring the balance of yin and yang in the human body, so that when drugs are used to slow down the deterioration of the disease, the quality of life and living can still be taken into account. For reference only, please follow me if you like me, and if you have a better view please leave a comment below to discuss.

Indeed, not a good answer, but the Chinese medicine of people as a whole, look and smell, diagnosis and treatment, due to the reason and he, the gentleman drug auxiliary drugs, complement each other, the final good results of the rationale and practice as well as clinical evidence has proved that, perhaps, a three-dimensional map of the acupoints can also be illustrated.

Simply put: Chinese medical thinking is dialectical. For example, Western medicine diagnoses a cold, which is caused by a common virus and has a tendency to heal itself. The treatment is symptomatic, rest and drink more water. Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by the six elements of "wind", i.e. "cold". According to the different reactions of the human body to disease-causing factors, there are "heat" and "cold" reactions (this is a holistic consideration), and the treatments are different: those with wind-heat use pungent and cool to relieve the epidermis, such as Yin Qiao San; those with wind-cold use pungent and warm to relieve the epidermis, and those who do not have sweating use Ephedra Soup with additions and subtractions; those who have sweating use Gui Zhi Tang with subtractions, and so on. For those with wind-cold, add and subtract epiglottis with epiglottis, and for those with sweat, add and subtract gui zhi tang. etc. ......

Therefore, the TCM program takes into account the cause of the disease, as well as differentiated treatments for different reactions of the body, and differentiated treatments for different clinical processes (e.g., the six meridians: sun, yangming, and shaoyang ...... In the case of the shaoyang meridian, i.e., on the third day of a cold, Xiao Chaihu Tang is used with additional subtractions, etc.), and this holistic approach is worthy of reference by Western medicine.

The above brief answer is for reference.

Chinese medicine thinking this issue is quite good, say through, spiritual people probably all of a sudden on the level of Oh! Complicated, patience to see.

First of all, the difference between Chinese medicine thinking and Western medicine thinking is the difference between Chinese and Western philosophy. What is the difference between Chinese and Western philosophy? Western philosophy insists that the world is composed of individual atoms, that these atoms determine how people can see the world, and that every phenomenon in the world corresponds to a solid atomic substance, i.e., truth. That is, phenomena and truths correspond one to one. Truths are linked to each other by mathematical rules.

Chinese philosophy believes that the truth behind phenomena is not individual, but a contiguous whole. According to the unity of yin and yang, and the five elements of birth and death, the world of phenomena is divided into all things. So which of the great truths behind belongs to the phenomena we are studying at the moment? It is necessary to look at the specifics of the yin and yang opposition and the five elements and their birth and death, which is the so-called timing.

So philosophically, the Western medical mind needs to think mathematically to determine the real reason behind a specific condition. Chinese medicine needs to look at the timing of the phenomenon or symptom to determine the reason behind it. So TCM thinking looks at a summer cold as different from a spring cold, and an adult cold as different from a child's cold.

Secondly, Chinese and Western thinking are different when it comes to physiology and pathology. The philosophy upheld by Chinese medicine holds that the ultimate truth of the world is unity, and so life, the carrier of disease, is ultimately subordinate to this whole. If something goes wrong with this whole, something goes wrong with the human body. That is why in Chinese medicine, if you don't have cold in winter, you will develop winter warmth; if you don't have heat in summer, you will develop yin heat; if you have too much cold, you will develop typhoid fever; if you have too much heat, you will develop heat stroke. The logic of the universe is the logic of the human body, since the universe conforms to the theory of yin and yang, the human body also conforms to this theory. Mastering this whole, no matter how varied the human body disease, but all changes are not the same.

Once again, in the process of diagnosis and treatment, Western medicine believes in the little things that can be seen under the microscope. The problem is that the patient's symptoms don't necessarily map to those little things, and what kind of process there is between the phenomenon and that little thing doesn't necessarily have to be seen with a microscope. In addition, since the truths of the world are isolated, it seems that mankind must exhaust all phenomena and truths in order to understand the world, and this is not possible.

This is not the case in Chinese medicine, which insists that truth is a unity and that there is a unifying law behind seemingly isolated phenomena. So if the truth under or within an object is a continuous unity, then how do we conclude that this thing is this thing, because we necessarily define objects by the truths they contain. Western medicine is taking a microscope to that last thing, to the atom, to the quark, to the finer matter. What does the Chinese medical mind do when it wants to get to the truth within a certain depth, rather than keep tracing it with a microscope? It is actually very simple, i.e., through the intersection of information flows at different latitudes, which is the truth. This is not easy to understand. For example, a person says that he has chest pain, continuous pain, and pain when he encounters cold, so the Chinese medicine practitioner judges that he may have a disease in this system of the heart, doesn't he? This a latitude - the patient oral, is unable to finalize, even if the patient said 10,000 years of descriptive ability again, Chinese medicine practitioners determined that the conclusion can not be formed. From this point of view, Chinese medicine thinking fundamentally believe that Western medicine that kind of one-stranded search for the final object of the diagnosis is not a true conclusion. At this time, Chinese medicine thinking requires another latitude of the information flow to support, such as pulse diagnosis, a look at the left inch tight string, or there is a knot generation, or Yuan Yuan and move. Then pulse diagnosis to determine the six veins in the inch pulse problem, diagnosis to determine the heart system has a problem, so that the two streams of information convergence, can be basically determined, as if the two straight lines converge a little like, to determine the orientation.

Also, Chinese medicine out of the prescription thinking and Western medicine is not the same, Western medicine always think a key to open a lock, so there are 10,000 diseases have a medicine. Chinese medicine is different, that the disease is an imbalance of yin and yang, a person is always partial to yin or yang, and all things in nature are always partial to yin and yang, so the bias of yin and yang of all things to correct the bias of yin and yang of the human body. As long as you can adjust its bias, everything is medicine. Then the medicine is not important, medicine yin and yang bias of the ruling is important, a combination of yin and yang bias is not enough to regulate the human body of bias, can be combined with more than one flavor of medicine. For example, the human body qi deficiency yang deficiency, four gentleman soup combination to make up for the human body yang deficiency. So the formula is important, the formula depends on the person's ruling.

The topic is too big to talk about off the cuff, and I'm guessing most people won't be able to read it.

Specifically, Chinese medicine thinking is the unity of "one qi flow" and "six meridians"!

If expanded, the concept of unification of "one qi circulation" and "six meridians" covers the "unity of heaven and man" of yin and yang, the five elements, the five movements and six qi, the elevation and sinking of the east, south, west, north and center, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and the six meridians of the "Treatise on Typhoid": the sun, shaoyang, yangyang, and the six meridians of the "Treatise on Typhoid". The concept of "unity of heaven and man" covers yin and yang, the five elements, the five movements and six qi, elevation and levitation, east, south, west, north and center, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and the four seasons of the five directions of the one yuan qi, as well as the six meridians of "The Treatise on Typhoid Fever", namely, the sun, the shao-yang, the yang-ming, the tai-yin, the shaoyin, the syncopated yin and so on
