The way of health care in Chinese medicine

The way of health care in Chinese medicine covers almost all the theories and practices of health care related to medicine, religion, folklore, martial arts and cultural methods such as diet for thousands of years up and down China. It can be divided into the following 4 points.

Follow the Nature

It embodies the idea of “unity of nature and man”. It emphasizes that in the process of health care, it is important not to go against the laws of nature, but also to pay attention to the unity and harmony between human beings and society. As the Nei Jing advocates, “Knowing astronomy from above, geography from below, and personnel from the middle can last a long time”.

Chinese medicine health way Chinese medicine health four principles to protect health

Both physical and mental health

In the process of health care, we should not only focus on physical care, but also pay more attention to spiritual and psychological care, as the so-called “both physical and spiritual care”, “keep the whole shape of God” and “keep the whole shape of God”.

Combination of movement and stillness

Not only does modern medicine advocate that “life lies in movement”, but Chinese medicine also advocates that “movement gives birth to yang”, but also advocates that “stillness should be taken from movement” and “no not to make delusional exertion”.

Appreciate the causes of nourishment

There is no one method or style of nourishing the body, it should be in the form, spirit, movement, stillness, food, medicine …… many ways, many ways to carry out nourishing activities. In addition, we also need to use different methods of health care depending on the person, place and time, as the so-called “examination of the cause of nourishment” and “identification of nourishment”.

The “art of health care” is required to be implemented under the guidance of the way of health care. Its content includes the following seven aspects.

Spiritual nurturing: including spiritual and psychological nurturing, hobbies and moral character nurturing. Most of them involve Chinese medicine culture, religious culture and folk culture.

Behavior: Behavior mainly includes clothing, food, housing, transportation and gender life, etc. Some aspects of life behavior and conditioning.

Artistic nourishment: It is a kind of non-food and non-medicine method of nourishment other than the above art of nourishment, that is, using massage, massage, acupuncture, bathing, ironing, magnetic suction, stimulation of objects and other therapies for nourishment. It mainly involves the culture of medicine.

Qi nourishment: mainly the “internal nourishment” of medical fitness qigong. Most of them involve Chinese medicine culture, religious culture and martial arts culture.

Form nourishment: mainly includes physical exercise and physical fitness activities. Most of them integrate medical culture and martial arts culture.

Food nourishment: one of the main elements of TCM health care, with a wide range of applications and a large number of adaptable people. The main content is the preparation and application of health food, as well as dietary methods and moderation. The content includes the culture of medicine, pharmacy, food, tea, wine and folklore.

Medicine and nutrition: The main content is the selection and preparation of health care medicine. Most of the preparations are purely natural food botanicals; their preparation is also mostly roughly processed and blended; their dosage forms are also mostly integrated with food. Therefore, Chinese medicine often has the “medicinal food” said.

In short, the characteristic of health care is to emphasize the “individualized nutrition” based on the way of health care and the art of health care, and does not force uniformity in the group. For example, A needs to focus on physical maintenance; B needs to focus on diet; and C needs to focus on spiritual regimen, etc. If we do not distinguish between A, B and C, all ask them to strengthen physical exercise or all change a certain diet structure, or all meditation practice qigong will not necessarily meet the needs of each person’s health.
