I am a clinical western medicine doctor, self-study Chinese medicine, Chinese foundation has been finished, now how to study Chinese medicine? Do you have any good books to recommend?
Like me, it's also West to Center. First of all, you must have a firm belief. Chinese medicine can solve your western medicine can not solve almost all of the disease, and to have to believe that our western to Chinese, after learning Chinese medicine, light only will not be worse than simply learning Chinese medicine, and will be more than they can control the disease of Chinese medicine treatment, the efficacy of treatment is higher than them.
Now talk about the study program, so that you do not take a detour, I am learning Western medicine after graduation, the process of practicing medicine, and then Chinese medicine division over the people who have the right to speak.
You've already studied CKI, the theory is there.
OK! Next, the order you're going to do is.
I:Memorize the medicinal fugue (do not ask for understanding, reflexively memorize it).
II: Tangtou Guei (formulae in the Formulary, formulae in the Tangtou Guei, totaling more than 4,500 commonly used formulae, which can be memorized)
The last two, do not require you to understand all, also do not need to understand, in the future you naturally play understand. You just need to memorize the condition of anti-transferability.
Three:Learning diagnostics, do not require rote memorization, but must be read and understood. Especially tongue diagnosis, pulse science, must understand. Pulse, on the back of the frequency lake pulse decision, requirements, to understand the body strong evidence, the main disease poem, understand, do not require, later you will naturally understand, but must be memorized. Again, tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, is the focus of the focus.
And emphasize the unexpected. You're a Western doctor now. Let me give you a task. You see a patient every day, develop to each patient you individual pulse habit, first do not care about the number of understand and do not understand, number understand or not understand, you only care about each number, mainly if the practice feel. The best every time, to a three part of the nine waiting for the quality of compensation, do not care about understanding or not understand. The number of more, you will learn more, you will naturally understand the pulse.
Three:Learning the theory of typhoid fever and the Golden Chamber, must learn to grasp the outline, the general outline of the six meridian disease, to grasp the death of a lifetime. Each meridian disease in the outline of the guidance to read and understand, in addition to the general outline of those sentences must be memorized, the other contents of the beginning does not require memorization, but must be every read, to read and understand. These two books, to read to what level? Then I tell you, you can read to your death, you can read a lifetime, anyway, you read every time, every time must have gained. And read the interpretation of the provisions by a hundred famous writers since ancient times.
Four: Read the modern Chinese medicine undergraduate textbook of Chinese medicine, internal medicine, external medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, warm disease, five textbooks. You are required to read and understand the textbooks, not memorize them, but at least be able to find them in the books when you encounter a disease in the clinic.
OK! With the above completed, you can start to pay off the trial of prescribing Chinese medicine to cure your illness. It is recommended that you still follow the order of looking, sniffing, asking and cutting. Medical records, emphasis on, to describe the tongue and pulse. Write a certificate, prescription, from the first day, you should learn to use a notebook to record, do not use prescription paper. And catalog the patient's name, prescription code, and stick to this habit for the rest of your life. This information not only allows you to keep records, but also makes it easier for you to find, learn and summarize the cases in the future. Some patients, three to five years later, will ask you to prescribe a formula that worked well in the past, and with this book, you will never lose your prescription. (Benshan people have dozens of books like this).
According to my order above dry, not three years, you will be able to Chinese medicine prescription. And then not five years, your dialectical accuracy, up to a seventy or eighty percent is not difficult, it should not be a problem. At the very least, you will not prescribe the wrong direction.
After continuous summarizing and learning for another ten years. Then I tell you, you are not famous in your local TCM. You leave me hanging!
To emphasize the point, the Neijing, you can give it a cursory glance. Never devote your life's work to it. This is my personal opinion for your reference.
I used to be a western doctor too! I don't use western medical thinking anymore! Modern medicine is really not even close to curing diseases! And many diseases are actually cured! I am very much in favor of learning Chinese medicine! I once came across a very powerful Taoist priest, healing really and play like! He and I said a few points! 1, Chinese medicine is energy medicine, mainly regulating energy, that is, qi! Never be confused by the so-called active ingredients, Chinese medicine is to mobilize the body's self-healing power to cure the disease, and now the so-called scientific research on the composition of traditional Chinese medicine is simply wrong! 2 do not be confused by the name of the Western medicine, Western medicine, the name of the disease is basically meaningless, refer to it can be! Chinese medicine is the main treatment of symptoms.3 large dose and small dose is like a car and a bicycle, when the pipe is too clogged, the effect of large doses of prescription is not good, you can use a small prescription to lead the way! TCM is a science above modern medicine and well worth learning! I don't know much about it, but I do wish you the best of luck!
Hi, as a western medicine practitioner who is now starting to learn Chinese medicine, I think there is a lot to learn. I have just finished learning the basic theories of Chinese medicine, and I am just getting started. I may not even be considered a beginner, but since I want to learn Chinese medicine, I have to make up my mind, and I will not stop until I have learned it.
Next you want to study herbalism, this is perfectly fine, there are many more books to follow, so I will recommend some books to you now and describe them for you in detail.
Elementary stage of Chinese medicine study
Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine: A must for beginners, simple, popular and easy to understand. As a national higher education textbook, it is very well written and easy to learn, as a must-read book for novice Chinese medicine practitioners.
Chinese Herbal Medicine: It is also a national higher education textbook, in which hundreds of representative Chinese medicines in common use are selected, and the nature, flavor, attribution, and function and main treatment of each Chinese medicine are clear at a glance. As long as you carefully study the hundreds of flavors of traditional Chinese medicine above, you will also have a good understanding of traditional Chinese medicine inside the Chinese medicine.

How to diagnose the patient, how to recognize the disease. Inside said are very detailed.
Intermediate level of Chinese medicine study:
When the primary stage are almost finished learning should be advanced, to complete our intermediate learning stage, the following recommendations for the intermediate stage of the book.
Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine: By this stage, it's time to learn a little bit about how to systematically treat a condition, such as this book on TCM internal medicine, which covers the treatment of various conditions in TCM.
Chinese Medicine Gynecology: A systematic study of the treatment of women's ailments, adding a step forward to my own systematic study of Chinese medicine,
Surgery of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Various treatments in Chinese medicine and surgery
Pediatrics in Chinese Medicine: A detailed description of the treatment of a variety of common pediatric conditions
Advanced Stage of Chinese Medicine Learning
When we finish the intermediate stage, this is the time to study the writings of famous Chinese medical practitioners through the ages, and to sublimate our knowledge of Chinese medicine.
A Treatise on Typhoid Fever: from the typhoid fever everyone Zhang Zhongjing's hand, a generation of famous doctors, but also the first person to create the rationale method of prescription drugs, where the study of traditional Chinese medicine this must learn the theory of typhoid fever, which is a consensus.
Poverty, Poverty, Poverty, Poverty.: also from the Treatise on Typhoid Fever, which is the same as the Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Pawn Diseases.
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine: The source of Chinese medicine, all theories of Chinese medicine are from the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, a must-read book.
Shennong's Classic of the Materia Medica: The source of Chinese herbalism, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and knew the properties of medicines, which must be memorized.
The Book of Chakras: Zhang Zhongjing's disciple, Wang Shuhe, wrote the book that we need to learn as an advanced level.
Temperate Diseases.: Wu Jutong's study of temperature and disease, which created the school of temperature and disease and solved a lot of difficult problems of temperature and disease, should not be ignored.
Well, the above is one of my recommendations for books to learn Chinese medicine, I hope it can help you.
Chinese medicine says that there are 12 meridians in the whole body, and so far we haven't found one yet, it's too mysterious!
I am a doctor with a degree from the University of Chinese Medicine and have been practicing medicine in a tertiary hospital for more than 10 years.
With the accumulation of clinical experience, more and more feel that Chinese medicine is indeed very esoteric, Western medicine, basically you will learn, a look at the understanding, skillful and skillful, I am a person to complete the closed chest drainage tube, just more than ten minutes. But Chinese medicine is not the same, the pulse decision all memorized, or will not diagnose the pulse, the need for you to comprehend, integrated. Pulse diagnosis has three realms: First, see the mountain is not the mountain, see the water is not the water; beginners familiar with the memorization of the Lianhu pulse trick, but still can not diagnose clear pulse. Second, see the mountain is still mountain, see the water is still water; at this time I feel that I have become a great success, all kinds of pulse can be recognized. Third, there are still mountains beyond the mountains and water beyond the water. This state is like entering the realm of realization, and only the enlightened know it.

According to my experience, the study of Chinese medicine should be gradual, the basic theory of Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, prescription, Chinese medicine diagnosis, Chinese medicine internal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, these are the foundation, must be skillful memorization. Huang Di Nei Jing, Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases, Jin Gui Yao Liao, Wen Diseases, these four classics is also a mandatory course. With your understanding of Chinese medicine, gradually may be interested in the Zhouyi, which is not superstitious, Chinese medicine is concerned about the unity of man and heaven, yin and yang, five elements of the internal organs with the I Ching is also documented.

For the study of Chinese medicine, I still recommend that you use the textbook as the basis, where there is a good explanation of the medicinal effects, flavors, attributes, and interactions, and the ruler and ministers and enablers. In particular, you must memorize the dosage and concoctions of the eighteen antidotes, nineteen dangers and some toxic drugs.

The motherland medicine needs to be carried forward, Western medicine treats the symptoms, Chinese medicine treats the root cause, both the symptoms and the root cause, is the way.
First memorize the Leigong medicinal properties and Pearl's medicinal properties, understand the medicinal properties of cold, hot, warm, cool, flat, and then memorize more than 400 kinds of tonics, and then the whole gel rotten use, according to the nature of the disease, clinical manifestations, with the symptom, add or subtract, adjust the dose, targeting, precise application of the prescription of medicines. And then according to the patient's effect and response to increase or decrease, and then you will gradually become a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner. Remember, you can't get what you want on paper, you have to do what you want to do. This is to make you explore diligently and practice boldly. Why do you say that three years of learning medicine feel the world no disease is not cured, cure three years of disease feel the world no prescription available. You headache, bellyache, cough, etc., the formula are memorized roll river messy familiar also can not, you also have to do evidence-based treatment to work, the disease is sometimes very complex, there is a real cold and false heat, there are on the cold under the heat, there are outside the cold inside the heat, real virtual virtual, virtual and real. Prescription, such as a tiger eating the sky, the root of the time, I do not know where to start, only through practice, careful speculation, summing up experience, you can cure the disease, cure more, you will naturally become a good Chinese medicine practitioner. You have to recognize the diseases on your body, not just the diseases in books. The same is true for recognizing medicine.
My friend, I am also studying Chinese medicine. The difference between me and you is that I waited for thirty years before I met an authentic Chinese medicine practitioner to get my body in good shape! I suggest you memorize the Nei Jing, especially the first seven chapters, the Essence! All the ideological foundations of TCM are in there. In the meantime, memorize the meridian diagrams! How is it possible to learn it all in three years?
Good Chinese medicine is actually the prevention and cure of the first disease, acupuncture and moxibustion before saying medicine and stone, that is to say, acupuncture and moxibustion you can find a family of the world to learn, the basis of the internal scripture is also.
There is another direction worth noting. I am afraid that if Chinese medicine is to be revitalized, the selection of herbs cannot be limited to herbs. The efficacy of medicinal stones is no worse than that of herbs, and it is broader, such as magnets for brain, colon and liver? I forget, but for my disorder, I have tried it and it works well. And it's not effective to cure anything without knowing medicine, you'd better start studying herbs as soon as you can. Chinese medicine is not only concocted to determine the efficacy of the different years of climate production of herbs also have different properties, know the doctor does not know the medicine is also ineffective. Dosage is the key to curing the disease, to grasp the bad medicinal properties of the efficacy of the dose is a problem, which is also caused by the netizens do not believe in one of the reasons for Chinese medicine spit.
You focus on the internal scriptures and read the other books together. Now there is a set of Chinese medicine ancient books, all of which can be understood with reference to each other. Herbs I have no way to give you guidance, I have a neighbor who has been in the business of medicinal herbs and soups for twenty years, and I am free to go there and chat. If you can learn from a master of the old Chinese medicine family, it would be best.
Medical Tao is not divided, suggest that you by the way to study the Taoist canon, a person who does not understand the Tao does not understand the divinity of Chinese medicine in the name of Chinese medicine is to corrupt the heritage of Chinese medicine. Two days ago with a Western doctor with Chinese medicine to message each other, he told me that he is not superstitious ...... fortune-telling in 1979 to establish a constitutional recognition is not feudal superstition, the divinity of Chinese medicine why is superstition? Chinese medicine from the Yuan Dynasty from the divinity of the decline, but also more than institutional reasons. The key principle is in the fact that human beings are inherently divine! Divinity is also one of the bases for recognizing symptoms.
Chinese medicine is interesting, profound and life guiding.
May you persevere and learn. 💪💪💪💪
Hi, I'm a folk herbalist, self-taught because I'm sick.
A few years, summed up, the ancient books say, medicine to drink it Why now such Chinese medicine almost disappeared, please think about it Are our ancestors are talking nonsense?
The answer is that all of the CMPs at the university are now wrong.
You first buy basic Liu Duzhou, Hu Xishu their medical case book to see why they treat the disease like a play, there is the style of the ancients
If you can't figure this out, I hope you won't learn it
Chinese medicine should start with acupuncture, acupuncture from the five lost points, Dong's qi points, six months after the Internet to find Ni Haixia said typhoid fever theory video, the
After three years, you'll think the old man was so great
Western medicine is bullshit.
First, I learned the medicinal fugue, then the soup head song, learning and asking questions as I went along, and accumulating.
Thanks for the invite.
Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine foundation comparison, Chinese medicine foundation is much more difficult, Chinese medicine foundation is to open the cornerstone of the treasure trove of Chinese medicine, a lot of Chinese medicine theory are reflected in the foundation of Chinese medicine, first of all, congratulations, learning Chinese medicine is considered to be initiated.
I am relatively familiar with Chinese pharmacy because I majored in it in undergraduate and graduate school. Why is studying Chinese herbal medicine easier than basic Chinese medicine? Because Chinese herbalism basically does not need to understand, it relies on memorization. The medicine to relieve the surface of the medicine, clearing the heat of the medicine, laxative medicine, etc., respectively, what are the drugs, efficacy of the main treatment is what, and so on.
For books I would just recommend the textbook "Chinese Herbalism", don't buy "Clinical Chinese Herbalism" as this book is for clinical pharmacy professionals.
In addition to Chinese herbal medicine, I think there is another book to learn Chinese medicine learners should learn, is the "Chinese medicine concoctions," not to learn how to learn how to concoct Chinese medicine, but to master the efficacy of different concoctions of the difference. Nowadays, many young Chinese medicine practitioners have memorized the formulae very well, but they do not know what kind of concoctions are used in the formulae, and they have never heard of different concoctions of the same Chinese medicine, so the concoctions of traditional Chinese medicine are as important as the study of traditional Chinese medicine for Chinese medicine learners.
