Chinese medicine is the hope for the future of medicine

1. Chinese medicine is the most vibrant and dynamic medicine

“When you look for him, you will see him at the end of the night.” In the face of the many helplessnesses of modern medicine, it is time to often look back at the Chinese medicine that is at the end of the light.

Chinese medicine “is not far from people, and takes the body of the patient as the master”, and the object is “the change of health and disease in the heaven and man”. Chinese medicine starts from the practical point of view, through the “investigation of the heavenly and the human to clarify the separation of things and me”, following the way of life to discover and develop the vital energy of people, using the self-regulation, self-health and self-healing ability of people to achieve the health function and purpose of health care and disease treatment, using the tools of life to seek the effect of the heavenly and the human to combine the vital energy of life, for the service of the vital energy of people. Chinese Medicine Chinese medicine relies on the vital energy of man as the object of development, and its ability to control human diseases and health is sufficient to make modern medicine look up to it.

In addition, the modern medical model has become more and more “harmful to medicine”, “dependence on medicine”, “pollution of the human body by chemical drugs”, “cutting instead of treating, surgery”, and “the health of the human body”. The problem of “cutting instead of treating, the bigger the surgery”, “the problem of treating more and more diseases, the more severe the treatment”, “the problem of the decline and weakening of the human body’s defense ability and the human population’s ability to extend “, and the problem of unaffordable economy, etc., can be practically avoided or better solved in Chinese medicine. The charm of Chinese medicine, the curative effect of Chinese medicine, is something that no one can afford to deny or erase.

Therefore, inheriting, innovating and developing Chinese medicine is an important choice to effectively realize the transformation of medical model and its purpose, which is both realistic and feasible.

2. The most wonderful chapter of Chinese medicine

The services provided by Chinese medicine are composed of two basic parts: “treating existing illnesses” and “treating future illnesses”.

As the highest concept and law of traditional Chinese medicine, “treating the untreated” is the most meaningful and wonderful chapter in Chinese medicine, and also the most important and advantageous part of Chinese medicine.

As early as more than 2,000 years ago, it was already said that “the sage does not treat the sick to cure the unwell, and does not treat the disorder to cure the unrest” (Huang Di Nei Jing) and “the top doctor cures the unwell, the middle doctor cures the sick that wants to be sick, and the bottom doctor cures the sick that is already sick” (Sun Simiao: “Thousand Gold Essential Formula”). (Sun Simiao: “Diagnosis and Waiting”), and has been used by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

The concept and methodology of “treating the untreated disease” is guided by the concept of “preventing the untreated disease before it occurs, preventing changes in the existing disease, and preventing recurrence of the disease after the disease has been recovered”, and through corresponding health maintenance and physical conditioning methods and measures, the occurrence, development and malignant changes of human diseases can be prevented, so as to economically and It is an indisputable fact that the physical and mental health of the human body can be effectively maintained and safeguarded. This is evidenced by a large amount of historical data as well as by current real-life practice.

3. Chinese medicine leads the new trend of medical development

In November 1996, the World Health Organization’s International Study Group on the Purpose of Medicine (GOM) called in its report for a shift in the strategic priority of medical development from “the pursuit of high technology for the purpose of curing disease” to “the prevention of disease and injury, and the maintenance and promotion of health”, and emphasized that only medicine aimed at “preventing disease and promoting health” is “affordable and therefore sustainable medicine” and “potentially ‘fair’ and ‘just’ medicine”.

It can be seen that the concept of preventive health care and its services are shared by both Chinese and Western medicine. However, the definition of the scope of the concept of preventive health care and its services and the establishment and matching of its methods and measures are very different between Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Compared with Western medicine, TCM preventive health care services, with the core concept of “treating the disease before it happens”, have their unique advantages.

Preventive health care featuring food therapy and food nourishment.

According to “five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five animals for benefit, five vegetables for enrichment”, “medicine (drugs) and food (food) of the same origin, food and medicine together”, “the odor and serving” and “the body can be divided, the state can be adjusted, the body disease related”, the use of natural materials, through the reasonable preparation of light meals, and the identification of medicinal food for tonic, regulating, improving and enhancing the overall functional state of the human body, in order to achieve the purpose of not getting sick, less sick, late sickness, early recovery from illness, and no deterioration, strengthening the root, eliminating disease and health, and prolonging life.

Since the foodstuffs used in TCM preventive health care are very different from the “vegetarian” and “vegan” health care products used in Western medicine, they are all natural products without deep processing and refining, which are not only inexpensive, but also have complete nutritional composition and do not form side effects contrary to the purpose, therefore, the TCM preventive health care service featuring food therapy and food nourishment is an economical and effective health care method.
