Physiotherapy function of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy

The ancients believed that a reasonable diet can regulate essence, correct the deviation of yin and yang of viscera, prevent diseases and prolong life. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to "abundant food", that is, "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five livestock for benefit, and five vegetables for filling", but also pay attention to the harmony of five flavors, otherwise it will cause diseases due to unbalanced nutrition, biased physique and dysfunction of five internal organs.

Second, meridian health

Meridian is a "network" system all over the human body, which controls the flow of qi and blood and ensures the normal function of various tissue systems. Huangdi Neijing says that meridians have the functions of deciding life and death, treating all diseases and regulating excess and deficiency. Ancient health care experts believe that dredging meridians can be an important measure of health care, and the simplest method is stimulation, massage and acupuncture at three important acupoints, namely Hegu, Neiguan and Zusanli.

Hegu point can prevent and treat facial diseases, Neiguan point is helpful to prevent and treat heart diseases, and Zusanli point is the most effective to prevent visceral diseases, especially digestive system diseases.

Third, strengthen essence and preserve health.

The ancients believed that Xue Jing was the essence of human nutrients and the material basis of life. Only with the support of Xue Jing can the five zang-organs maintain their normal functions. If sexual desire is unbridled and excessive blood loss occurs, it will cause physical weakness, pathological changes and loss of life. Nourishing yin essence can delay aging.

Fourth, timely health care.

The ancients believed that there were four seasons of climate change in the sky, and everything on the ground was born, grown, collected and hidden, and the human body was no exception. Therefore, the ancients put forward the method of timely health preservation from the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The operation of human internal organs, yin and yang, qi and blood must adapt to the four seasons, and can't do the opposite.

Adjusting one's life behavior in time is helpful to keep fit and prevent diseases. Otherwise, it is easy to hurt the liver, the heart, the lungs and the kidneys against the spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Fifth, reduce poison and keep healthy.

The ancients believed that if a person was moody, it would lead to the imbalance of Yin, Yang and Qi in the body. Fatigue can damage temper, while diet can lead to dampness, heat and phlegm. If you have sinned against six evils, there will be many diseases besides injuries. This pathogenic factor is regarded as "poison" by the human body, so "attenuation" is proposed to preserve the true qi.

By taking measures such as diet conditioning and taking drugs, we can reduce the accumulated poisons in the body, avoid diseases, prevent premature aging and prolong life.

Sixth, keep quiet and keep healthy.

Calm spirit plays an important role in traditional health preservation. The ancients believed that God was the master of life activities. Keeping quiet and psychologically stable can maintain vitality, make the five internal organs calm, help prevent diseases, improve health and prolong life.

On the other hand, anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, grieves the lungs, fears kidney damage, and even induces various physical and mental diseases.

Seven, cultivate one's morality.

The ancients believed that anyone who pursues health and longevity should first start with self-cultivation. On weekdays, we should eliminate all kinds of delusions, say more good words and do more good deeds.

Meng, an ancient physician, said: "If you can protect yourself and nourish your feelings, you must always keep your word" and "If you have good words, you must do good deeds". Sun Simiao said: "I am really thinking about this matter, and I am prepared to worry about it." Cultivating good conduct and often doing things beneficial to others can make you open-minded and happy.

Eight, regulating qi and keeping healthy

The ancients believed that the vitality of human body has the functions of metaplasia, strengthening qi and blood, warming and nourishing whole body tissues, resisting evil spirits and enhancing the function of viscera. Many factors, such as unbalanced nutrition, improper work and rest, emotional disorder, and invasion of pathogenic factors, can all lead to symptoms such as yuan-qi deficiency, stagnation, stagnation and inversion, and then cause pathological changes of the body.

The method of regulating qi and keeping in good health advocates a series of measures, such as careful living, adapting to the four seasons, avoiding overwork, preventing too much sex, regulating diet, reconciling five flavors, regulating seven emotions, saving words, learning to breathe and guiding, to regulate vitality, eliminate diseases and prolong life.

Nine, tonic health

Traditional medicine highly advocates the use of tonic drugs to regulate yin and yang, nourish viscera and nourish essence and blood. Reasonable tonic can strengthen the body and prevent and treat diseases. However, tonic should be dialectical and moderate, and we should also consider adapting to the four seasons. When taking tonic, it is more suitable in autumn if lung medicine is inserted; If it is warming, winter is more suitable.
