How to carry out TCM health preservation

As a clinical Chinese medicine worker, I am glad that more and more friends in the society realize the importance of good health and choose Chinese medicine for health preservation and self-care. But I also see that many friends want to learn Chinese medicine but don't know where to start, and they don't know where to start if they want to learn health preservation. As an experienced person who has studied Chinese medicine, I feel it necessary to share some of my learning methods and clinical cases with you. If I can make Chinese medicine lovers take fewer detours and make more people like Chinese medicine, then I have done a great thing. Now I will start with how to keep in good health in traditional Chinese medicine.

First, we must have a correct concept of health care when learning Chinese medicine health care. What is the correct concept of health preservation? As early as thousands of years ago, our ancestors said in The Theory of Ancient Naivety in the Yellow Emperor's Canon: "The ancient people, who knows it, lived a regular life and did not move, so they could be in harmony with God and spend their whole lives at the age of 100." The meaning of this sentence is: "In ancient times, people knew the way of keeping in good health and could adjust the changes of yin and yang in their bodies according to the laws of the changes of yin and yang in heaven and earth;" Appropriate use of counseling, qigong and other methods to regulate the spirit, so as to achieve a moderate diet, regular living, not overworked. Therefore, the mind and body can be coordinated, healthy and disease-free, and people will live to a life span of 100 years. "When I was working in the rehabilitation department, I found that many diseases were actually caused by bad living habits, such as staying up late, overeating, liking to eat fat and greasy, and not loving sports. When I am in treatment, I am always used to instilling in them the health concept of Huangdi Neijing. I hope that after they get well and go home, they can have the determination and action to change their bad living habits, so as to prevent them before they get sick and prevent them in advance. I also strongly suggest that friends who want to learn Chinese medicine for health preservation must seriously understand this passage in Huangdi Neijing, and it is best to memorize it.

Second, to learn Chinese health, we should learn some necessary knowledge of Chinese medicine. Friends who want to learn Chinese medicine for health preservation don't want everyone to be a doctor, but at least they should be able to understand the physique of themselves and their families. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the functions of some basic drugs and commonly used acupoints, and understand some basic theories of treating diseases and preventing diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. With basic medical knowledge, you won't make jokes about eating ginseng, and you won't be easily misled by others to buy some health care products. Due to the limitation of space, I will introduce some methods and experiences of learning and remembering Chinese medicine in detail in subsequent articles. Friends who are interested in learning can try my method. In addition, the health care methods commonly used in Chinese medicine, such as cupping, scraping and moxibustion, are convenient and safe to operate. I will teach them to my friends in the future, so that they can care for themselves or their families after learning them.

Third, it is very important to learn Chinese medicine for health preservation. Self-care of traditional Chinese medicine lies in perseverance and perseverance. I often meet some patients in clinic. They basically recovered after treatment and promised to pay attention to their health after discharge. However, after returning home, they just couldn't control themselves, for example, they stayed up late again, or they couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. They couldn't help eating those spicy foods again, and their condition almost returned to an untreated state. After a few days, they returned to the hospital to find me. Therefore, to carry out health care, we must make a good plan, when to exercise every day, what foods to avoid, and when to moxibustion. We have made a decision, so we must strictly carry it out. We can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days.
