In the hospital, there are also traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Those who often go to see Western medicine all know that it's injection and medicine, but how does traditional Chinese medicine see a doctor? Let's know
Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, the object of study are people's diseases and health problems. Traditional Chinese medicine is rooted in China's 5000 years of traditional culture, and its basic theoretical system was established in the spring and Autumn period, Warring States period, Qin and Han Dynasty when ancient Chinese culture was prosperous. As a knowledge good at accumulating experience and speculating, traditional Chinese medicine has been infiltrated and influenced by Confucianism and Taoism for a long time, and has been integrated with each other, so it has a profound brand of Chinese traditional culture. For example, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the diagnosis and treatment of diseases from the relationship between heaven and man, and pays attention to the dynamic observation of pathogenesis changes in vivo, which is the reflection of the core philosophy of the relationship between heaven and man, dynamic and static relationship in traditional Chinese culture in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
As for the causes of diseases, TCM mainly explores the disharmony between human and nature, disharmony between human and society, imbalance of human viscera function, disharmony between Qi and blood, disharmony between body and spirit, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine constructs a medical model of nature society form spirit integration, which pays attention to the overall connection, but the micro analysis method is relatively weak.
In the thinking of clinical diagnosis and treatment, traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the concept of individualized and dynamic diagnosis and treatment. The so-called individualization means that each individual suffering from the same disease is regarded as an important research object, and the performance of each individual is different, that is to say, its pathological change mechanism is also different, which determines that the treatment should be individualized. If it is also coronary heart disease, some patients with blood stasis, treatment should be used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis; some patients with phlegm dampness, treatment mainly with Phlegm Dampness Method.
The so-called dynamic principle is that movement change is the basic attribute and inherent characteristics of life, so the disease is also dynamic. Doctors must master the law of dynamic change of disease in diagnosis and treatment, and take corresponding treatment measures in different periods, so as to achieve better curative effect. This kind of individual, dynamic diagnosis and treatment concept, in a word, is syndrome differentiation and treatment.
In terms of the principles and methods of treating diseases, the basic principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to mobilize and stimulate the ability of independent disease resistance, which is the so-called "strengthening the healthy and eliminating pathogenic factors". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when people feel evil and get sick, they have the tendency to protect the body from further invasion of disease and evil until they go out.
In the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, it is important to protect and make use of this trend. It advocates the principle of making the best use of the situation in order to get twice the result with half the effort. Such as clinical manifestations of fever, sweating, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is often the result of resistance of healthy qi when encountering pathogenic factors. We can use pungent and warm divergence, sweating, vomiting, catharsis and other therapies to remove pathogenic factors.
When it is difficult to completely remove the evil Qi for a while, which leads to the chronic prolongation of the disease, traditional Chinese medicine does not blindly eliminate the evil Qi for a short time, but uses the method of reconciliation and slow treatment. When the healthy qi is gradually strong, then gradually eliminate the evil Qi. Even if the evil Qi remains, it can also maintain the basic health state of peaceful coexistence through traditional Chinese medicine treatment. This kind of peaceful coexistence is one of the connotations of the principle of harmonizing Yin and Yang in TCM. Due to the characteristics of treatment principles and methods, traditional Chinese medicine can play an important role in the prevention and treatment of some acute diseases and most chronic diseases.
