Some people say: Chinese medicine are all crooks, and Western medicine is the science!

Some people also say: Chinese medicine is able to cure many diseases that cannot be cured by Western medicine, and Chinese medicine is the most profound and profound!

To judge whether a Chinese medicine practitioner is good or bad, first of all you have to understand Chinese medicine. How can you open your mouth and speak if you do not even learn or understand it.

Learning Chinese medicine for me, is a kind of sentiment, a kind of cultivation, but also a skill. As a western medicine Chinese medicine, I have learned the basics of western medicine, but also learned the basic theory of Chinese medicine, I personally believe that they are completely two schools, can not be compared, accurately said that no matter how good or bad!


So what is the difference between them? Let me give you two examples to help you understand

(a) Why is the welcoming pine on the rock face of Huangshan Mountain so strong? What makes it survive on the cliffs?

Answer A: Because the tree possesses extraordinary perseverance, when the tree makes up its mind to grow, even in desperate places, no matter how harsh the environment is, it will live up to its own likeness and blossom into the miracle of life!


Answer B: The roots of a tree that grows in the cracks of a rock secrete an acidic substance that erodes the surface of the rock, turning it into nutrients to be absorbed by itself. Its roots were able to hold onto the rock and resisted the ravages of the wind, and in the process of growing the tree's roots penetrated into the rock, which was as solid as steel.


So, can we say who is right and who is wrong in the answers of A and B? Philosophically, view A is idealistic and view B is materialistic, so who is right and who is wrong? Is there any point in arguing? Actually, there is. The key is to see from what angle the argument is made. Obviously, thousands of years of traditional culture, including Chinese medicine with a lot of Answer A category of characteristics, the Chinese medicine sector itself has also recognized Chinese medicine as part of traditional Chinese culture, is the embodiment of traditional Chinese culture and humanism.


Love Chinese medicine and Western medicine

combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine

Chinese medicine originated from the witch doctors in ancient times, and was formed through the continuous exploration and summarization of previous generations. Chinese medicine is an integral part of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture, and its unique basic theoretical system took shape more than 2,000 years ago. It has accumulated rich diagnostic and treatment experience and unique therapeutic methods in long-term clinical practice, and produced nearly 10,000 kinds of medical books, such as Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine), Nanking Jing (Classic of Difficulties), Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases Treatise (Theory of Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases), Shen Nong Ben Cao (Divine Husbandman's Herbal Medicine), and so on. The Eastern Han Dynasty saw the emergence of the famous medical doctor Zhang Zhongjing, who summarized the "Eight Syllabi" (yin and yang, epidermis and lining, emptiness and reality, cold and heat). Hua Tuo was famous for his mastery of surgery and anesthesia, and he also created the "Five-Animal Play" for physical fitness. In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao summarized the theories and experiences of his predecessors, collected more than 5,000 medicinal prescriptions and adopted evidence-based treatment, and was honored as the "King of Medicine" for his highest medical ethics.

Western medicine is a product of modern warfare and is mainly used for first aid. Regarding the western medicine that people in China nowadays say, its complete name is "modern and contemporary medical system of western countries"; it originated in western countries in modern times, with anatomy and physiology, tissue embryology, biochemistry and molecular biology as the basic disciplines developed out of the brand-new medical system; because it originated in western countries, therefore we are used to call it western medicine. Because of its origin in Western countries, we are accustomed to call it Western medicine. Modern western medicine is called new medicine in modern China, which is opposed to old medicine (Chinese medicine).



(b) The journey of scurvy from discovery to cure is based on both the philosophy of Chinese medicine and the evidence-based comparisons of Western medicine.


In 1747, a British warship was sailing in the Atlantic, but there was an outbreak of scurvy on board. At first it was found that the gums were bleeding, then the teeth were loose and falling out, bleeding under the skin all over the body, and ulceration all over the body. At that time, the Western world and ancient China was the same, for a difficult disease, folk circulated a variety of remedies, but you really want to bring these so-called prescription to try, sometimes happen to be able to cure, but you put the same prescription for another patient, and often can not be cured. There has been no progress in the treatment of scurvy for centuries.

By the time 1747 rolled around, there was a military doctor on this warship named Linder who suddenly had an inspiration and said can I do a group control experiment? (Modern Western medicine experimental method) So he found twelve crew members, which are the most serious condition, divided them into six groups of two people each, first of all gave them a basic recipe to ensure that do not starve to death. Different recipes were used among these six groups, the first group ate oranges and lemons, the second group ate turnips and garlic, and the third group ate sweet potatoes and potatoes.

As it turned out, six days later, a miracle happened. The first group, the one that ate oranges and lemons got better. The other groups didn't get better, and that's what happened over and over again. What actually caused it, we know today that what's called scurvy is actually a vitamin C deficiency. And the discovery of vitamin C, and the discovery of the real mechanism of scurvy as a whole, didn't come until the 1950's, and Linde was a long way from being that advanced medically at that time. Later with the British Navy giving the crews lemon juice in large quantities, and as a result there really were no outbreaks of scurvy.


From the example of scurvy can be seen in the history of Chinese medicine and Western medicine: in the periodic table of the elements before the discovery of vitamin C is impossible to be discovered, human beings are not possible from the perspective of medical theory to explain what eating lemon can cure scurvy. But people have scurvy will have to cure, not cure will have to die, we are forced to study scurvy in order to survive, although we do not understand why lemon can cure scurvy, but we can not wait until a few hundred years after the discovery of vitamin C to cure scurvy, that people do not know how many have died. So the wise ancestors bypassed theories and cured the disease directly through experience and results, which is the essence of Chinese medicine.


modus operandi

Chinese medicine is about healing or health

The theories of Chinese medicine can guide health care, but also the same can cure the disease, if there is no efficacy do you think can be inherited for thousands of years?

Any country in the world has its own cultural heritage, but there are a lot of not inherited, when the era of people recognized of course can be inherited, but if after a number of years but found that the inherited skills can not keep up with the current era of culture and technology, naturally, will be cut off the cultural and technological inheritance of no use.

However, Chinese medicine has been passed down, which shows that Chinese medicine has stood the test of people from different dynasties and generations, and so Chinese medicine has been passed down to the present day.


What is the purpose of permaculture?

What is the purpose of permaculture?

Taking care of your life means taking care of your life, so that you can live healthier, so that you are less vulnerable to disease, so that you can live longer, so that you can have a longer life, and more importantly, a high quality of life.

Again, to be alive, to be 80, 90, or even 100 years old, and to be able to live on your own, that's a high quality of life.

It is the same as living, but at the age of 60 or 70, you are in a wheelchair, or even bedridden, or even a vegetable, so think about this kind of life.

What is permaculture?

The ancients of China gave the answer to health care as early as the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, and there are two great treatises, Shangguo Tianzhen Lecture, and the Four Qi-Tuning Divine Lecture.

In these two great treatises are the monographs on health maintenance, and how people nowadays maintain their health is actually still not detached from these two great treatises.

Because we live on the earth, we have to live according to the laws of the earth, if you live the rhythm of life against the rules of the earth, then you have to be eliminated by the earth, the so-called permaculture is to tell people how to live more in line with the rules of the earth.

One revolution of the earth is a day, one revolution is a year, and a year is divided into four seasons, all of which have corresponding climatic characteristics.

Spring is warm, windy, and the Lord rises.

Summer heat, much heat, fire, and the Lord is long.

Autumn is cool, more dry, and the main harvest.

Winter cold, of course, is also cold, and the Lord hides. These are the four qi.

The same is true of the day; morning is like spring, the Lord rises; midday is like summer, the Lord grows; evening is like autumn, the Lord closes; late at night is like winter, the Lord hides.

Nutrition is not only for all seasons, but also for every day. Nutritional aspects include clothing, food, housing, transportation, sleep, and the seven emotions and six desires.

Clothing means that you decide to wear as much or as little as you like, and not to look at others.

Food, is to eat and drink, three meals a day to be regular, not overeating, chewing slowly swallowing stomach disease does not suffer Oh, away from cold food. Less alcohol.

Live, first, housing should not be selected in the dark and damp place, to ventilate and dry, the second is to pay attention to the temperature in the room in winter is not too high, some buildings in winter temperature is too high, can only wear pants, this is not good.

Row, used to refer to a means of transportation, now I think it means exercise, exercise to master the time and intensity of exercise, do not sweat.


Sleep, sunrise and sunset, now surely no one can do it, then to ten o'clock to sleep can it. Sleeping is the best way to replenish the kidneys. The body's functions are restored in rest.

The seven emotions hurt people and directly injure the internal organs. The seven emotions refer to joy, anger, sadness, thoughts, grief, fear and shock.

Great joy hurts the heart, great anger hurts the liver, worry hurts the spleen, sadness hurts the lungs, and coolness and fear hurts the kidneys.

Let's not go into detail on those.


Relationship between wellness and disease

Will not be able to maintain health is not responsible for their own bodies, such as overeating, you may suffer from acute pancreatitis. For example, you daily small stew, you are not obese, who is obese, you shall not fatty liver, who has fatty liver. In the example of your daily cold beer, seafood, you shall not gout, who have gout ah.

This means that diet and disease are related. Nowadays there are a lot of diseases because of eating, such as gout, high blood pressure, fatty liver, high blood fat, this is an environment for people to get sick, and when the environment is there, then cardiovascular disease is logical.

For example, if it's cold outside and you have to be beautiful and pretty and wear very little clothing, then if you don't suffer from the wind, who will suffer from the wind, and if you don't have rheumatism who will have rheumatism.

If you don't know how to take care of your health, you're fine now because you're young, and youth is capital. When you reach middle age, do you think you're still fit and healthy? Learn to take care of your health early, you can accumulate more capital for you, so that when you reach middle age, you can live a healthier life.


I won't go into it, I've talked and written a lot about permaculture, for those who love to read it, go to my articles and find it yourself, there's so much, I don't want to write too much here. It's all too repetitive.

In treating diseases, Chinese medicine emphasizes more on people learning to take care of their health, which is also an embodiment of treating the future.

Chinese medicine can cure diseases, and it can even cure major diseases, but it has been affected by many factors, which has led to the emergence of a fault in Chinese medicine. As a result, the efficacy of Chinese medicine is not as good as it used to be.

For example, Li Shizhen's ancient one tael, today's one cent.

Therefore, Dr. Li Ke, an old Chinese medicine practitioner, used the prescription of Zhang Zhongjing, the Sage of Medicine, to treat the disease without any effect, and then, due to an accident, he affirmed the effect of the Sage's prescription and pointed out that it was the problem of the amount of medicine used by the people nowadays, which affected the effect of the treatment.

The dosage conversion problem was affirmed by the excavation of Han dynasty weights and measures.

And then there's that. I'm afraid to say. Think for yourself.

In there is now the Chinese medicine, now the Chinese medicine business for profit, and counterfeiting, or low-quality drugs, etc. caused by the efficacy of Chinese medicine, into the Chinese medicine but also to talk about the three, six, nine, etc. 。。。。 Hey, Chinese medicine will die in the drug.

According to the World Patent Database, globally, China provides 10,943 ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions, but only 0.3% of them are patented internationally, and Japanese Chinese herbal medicines monopolize more than 70% of Chinese medicine patents. And 80% of these Japanese Chinese herbal medicines are imported from China. Imported Chinese herbal medicines, surely the highest grade imported away, but the businessmen left the poor grade for the countrymen to use themselves 。。。。。

Chinese medicine emphasizes people's health, and if they learn how to maintain their health, they will be less likely to get sick, is it not also a kind of treatment for the future?


May I ask why there are so many ignorant people who oppose such a great spirit of healing, which is for the betterment of people's lives and for making their quality of life better?

It's against the fact that people aren't getting sick anymore and you can't sell your merchandise.

Or are you afraid that your countrymen are physically stronger, and thus China is stronger? Or do you want China to be as weak as it was a century ago.

It's hard to stop writing.

Is Chinese medicine a cure? Or does it nourish the body? ............? Throughout the generations of famous Chinese medicine doctors, too most of the Chinese doctors are able to do, cure the disease, nourish the health of both ............, the real Chinese doctors, is the combination of theory and practice, clinical flexibility. Chinese doctors in the diagnosis of the patient's disease, will pay attention to the patient's physical health status, in the administration of medication at the same time, consider whether the need to join the appropriate health drugs ............... strong body, there is no need to join the health of the The patient's health condition will be taken into account when administering medication. If the body is weak, adding appropriate health-supporting drugs is beneficial to the patient's treatment of the disease and recovery of the body.

Chinese medicine culture is Chinese medicine culture, and Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine cannot be covered up because of the vastness and depth of Chinese medicine culture.

Chinese medicine is both a science of healing and a science of health, and often the two are blended together. Therefore, it is a great fortune for a foreigner to go to China to see a Chinese medicine practitioner, who not only treats his illnesses, but also teaches him how to maintain his health. Thank you China.

Chinese medicine is all-encompassing and ever-changing, and can be used for healing and wellness. Depends on what you need it for.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the cure for disease. Wellness is disease prevention.

Chinese medicine is godlike.

That is to say, it can heal and nourish the body.

And it's a cure for everything, so you'll live a long life.

(The old man doesn't believe it, and these god-awful words summarize what some people are saying.)

Chinese medicine is a part of nature, is a kind of Tao, not only can cure the disease, but also health, now people do not recognize, because now people are detached from nature, forget the beginning of man, will go to the demise of mankind.

Midfield TCM Education has the answer:

Chinese medicine is for treating illnesses. Of course, Chinese medicine can also be used to maintain health, but this is definitely not the main purpose of Chinese medicine.

How Traditional Chinese Medicine treats diseases

Chinese medicine treatment is people-oriented and holistic, dialectical treatment as the core, the unity of heaven and man as the guiding ideology, each time the treatment should be implemented to the prevailing situation of each person and make targeted treatment programs.

The medical theory of Chinese medicine, people as an organic whole, the parts of the whole within the interconnected, its yin and yang surface of the real cold and heat and other aspects to maintain a dynamic balance, known as the "yin and yang in order". If the surrounding natural environment changes, such as cold, heat, dry, wet, wind, rain, fog, or joy, anger, worry, fear, grief, etc., excessive nerve stimulation, as well as food and drink, call and call to injure the gas, insects and beasts, poisoning gold sores, fall damage pressure and drowning, etc., will lead to a loss of internal balance of the human body, but also often affects the blood, gas circulation movement is blocked, called "yin and yang in order". Yin and Yang imbalance", it will cause disease.

How Traditional Chinese Medicine maintains health

Chinese medicine health care focuses on both the mind and the body.

firstlyIn terms of spiritual conditioning, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine suggests that we should be calm and indifferent, that is to say, keep a calm state of mind, don't put too much pressure on ourselves, and we can usually listen to some soothing music or engage in appropriate physical exercise to regulate our emotions.
