Now, More and more people begin to believe in Chinese medicine and know that Chinese medicine can bring health to people. So, I like to go and ask the Chinese medicine doctor: What kind of medicine should I take to cure this disease?
In fact, this is what TCM is most afraid of question, I really don’t know how to answer it.
Most of us now have the idea that if you are sick, you have to take medicine, and you will be fine after taking medicine. If you take medicine and the disease does not heal, it means that you didn’t find the right person and didn’t take the right medicine. The real Chinese medicine does not ask the patient to take medicine first, but first finds the cause of the illness, and adjusts it according to the cause, thereby changing the result of the illness.
The main reason why people get sick is the lack of correct concept of health. Therefore, when our body has a disease, the first thing is not to find medicine, but to adjust our concepts and living habits.
If you are sick, go to Western medicine for treatment, and Chinese medicine for conditioning. The same is to solve the disease, why use two different words?
The difference between western medicine treatment and Chinese medicine conditioning
Suppose I have 11 fish in a fish pond, how good are the fish? Well, it largely depends on water qualityRelated. One day, because the water was so dirty, a black fish got sick. Then someone suggested: To cure this black fish, you have to spray medicine on the pond. Think about it here: what about the other 10 good fish? Is it good or bad for them?
I’m sure everyone knows that other fish are unlucky. The same is true: when you take various medicines for colds, coughs, allergies, diabetes, or sleeplessness, will other healthy organs be affected?
The answer is obvious. You will find that the side effects have been clearly written in the instructions. For example, this medicine hurts the liver, stomach, and heart… In fact, it is the same as spraying medicine in a fish pond, and other fish will be unlucky.
When the water is dirty and there is a problem with the fish in the pond, there are 3 ways to completely solve the problem of these fish, how would you choose?
1. Spray the pond with medicine;
2. Throw away the problematic fish in the pond;
3. The third method is to change the water in the fish pond.
I believe everyone will choose to change the water. The problem is the water quality, and only a water change can solve the problem of all the fish in the pond.
Speaking of this, friends will understand the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine:Western medicine treatment is to spray medicine on the fish pond and throw fish, such as Said to take a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, high blood pressure drugs, heart disease drugs, or surgery to remove the gallbladder, stomach, and uterus;Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning is changing the water in the fish pond and conditioning the environment in the fish pond, which is equivalent to conditioning people’s constitution and the internal causes of diseases.
Why do I tell you that there are 11 fish in the pond, not 10 or 12, because in our body The sum of the internal organs is exactly 11.
< span>The health of fish is determined by water quality. Who determines the health of our internal organs? To a large extent it is determined by span>BloodDecided. Qi and blood are smooth and the body is healthy.
We go to the hospital for a physical examination, the first is a blood test. Then we pass the various indicators of the blood , to tell you whether the liver function is good, the kidney function is good, the pancreas function is good, etc. High transaminase means poor liver function, high creatinine means bad kidney, high blood sugar means bad pancreas. And transaminase, creatinine, blood sugar Waiting for these seemingly esoteric terms, these are in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine. The garbage in the blood is called blood stasis. When we go to the blood test, it is actually Measure how much garbage is in the blood.
< st rong>How does modern medicine solve these garbage?
Hyperglycemic Now, use insulin to lower blood sugar. Don’t think that the sugar in the blood can disappear out of thin air. This is impossible. The blood sugar in the blood is deposited on the soles of the feet by another way. Therefore, after taking hypoglycemic drugs for more than ten years, my feet will be swollen, ulcerated, and even amputated.
For example, high blood pressure. When there is more waste in the blood, the pressure on the walls of the blood vessels will increase, which will lead toblood pressure High. Modern medicine will let patients take antihypertensive drugs. The essence of antihypertensive drugs is to dilate blood vessels. Once the blood vessels are dilated, the pressure will become smaller, and the blood pressure data will soon drop, but its time limit is only 2 hours. Therefore, antihypertensive drugs are only effective temporarily, and long-term medication is required to control blood pressure.
Let’s not say that blood pressure drugs hurt the liver, stomach and kidneys. Blood pressure drugs can damage the blood vessels themselves. When the blood vessels are forcibly dilated by external force for a long time, they become very fragile. The situation breaks down, causing irreversible damage.
Western medicine recognizes blood waste, sorts this waste, and then treats it accordingly. However, Western medicine only deals with waste, and does not care about the source of waste. In fact, the source of blood waste is in the liver, kidney, and heart, but there is no medicine in Western medicine that can restore liver function, kidney function, and heart function.
On the other hand, Western medicine brings new problems while dealing with these garbage. To lower blood sugar, lower creatinine, and lower blood lipids, the body has to pay the price. Because these drugs are chemicals themselves, chemical reactions take place in the body. Matter does not disappear out of thin air, the end product of these chemical changes is garbage. It looks like cleaning up garbage, but it turns into other garbage. Any chemicals you eat will be excreted by the liver and kidneys. If they cannot be excreted, they will remain in the body in the form of new garbage, resulting in a greater burden on the liver and kidneys.
Above, I talked to you about the logical thinking of Western medicine to solve problems. If I can sum it up in one word, it is:Control. Control what? Control indicators, control symptoms.
Look at the ideas of Chinese medicine to solve the disease
If the blood lipids are high, traditional Chinese medicine will ask you to adjust your diet and work and rest to enhance the function of the liver and gallbladder to purify the blood.
On the one hand, it reduces the import of garbage, and on the other hand, it enhances the degradation ability of garbage; if the blood sugar is high, it can decompose sugar by enhancing the transportation and transformation ability of the spleen; if the blood pressure is high, traditional Chinese medicine will reduce the blood pressure garbage and clear the blood. Blood vessels, so that the pressure on the blood vessel wall will naturally drop; if the creatinine is high, the Chinese medicine will strengthen the kidney and diuretic, and expel uric acid protein from the urine, so that the garbage will not return to the blood, so the index will drop and the body will recover.
The idea of traditional Chinese medicine is: It doesn’t matter which index is high, or even the specific index, traditional Chinese medicine always only does one thing,That is to restore balance: balance of yin and yang, balance of import and export, balance of upper and lower, balance of cold and heat, balance of qi and blood balance, physical and inner balance. When your body is balanced, your body is healthy, and what we ultimately want is health, The way to health is actually just two words:Balance .
If there is one word to summarize the ideas of Chinese medicine to solve diseases, it is:Restore balance.
Western medicine focuses on majors, and Chinese medicine focuses on directions
Today’s western medicine looks very professional, with various examination equipment It looks very good, and Chinese medicine does not seem to be professional at all. Therefore, many people feel that Chinese medicine has not kept up with the development of the times, and Chinese medicine is outdated. In fact, on the contrary, Chinese medicine is not behind the times, but ahead of the times. Today’s science and technology still cannot understand the wisdom of Chinese medicine.
Western medicine is about professionalism, while Chinese medicine is more about direction. What is a professional? It is one that divides a complete piece into pieces, and after dividing it, it loses its integrity. Why is Western medicine divided? Because of its professionalism. Western medicine makes diseases more and more complicated. A doctor cannot study so many diseases, so he can only study one of them. It is precisely because of this that the cured stomach disease leads to kidney disease, and the cured kidney disease leads to liver disease, which is endless.
You go to a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to see a doctor, no matter which indicator is normal or not, as long as you analyze it according to your symptoms, know where the imbalance is, and then adjust where it is. Therefore, Chinese medicine is a general practice, and it can adjust any disease.
Western medicine looks more professional, but he went in the wrong direction. Chinese medicine doesn’t seem professional at all, but it’s going in the right direction. Everyone knows the story of the opposite direction. If you go in the wrong direction, the longer you go, the farther you are from the destination.
I will analyze the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine with you. I am not trying to belittle western medicine. I just help you see the facts clearly.
Western medicine has its own advantages. Western medicine has its own special advantages in surgery and first aid. Western medicine is used to save the dead and heal the wounded, and to block people from the door of the mortuary. Traditional Chinese medicine is more about helping us people to be healthier and helping us live better and longer.
On the other hand, in China today, people from children with colds and fevers to children with high blood pressure and tumors all have to go to the hospital for treatment. This is the wrong direction.
Let’s make an assumption, if we can all have a correct concept of health and understand some Chinese medicine, many minor diseases do not need to go to the hospital, save the resources of the hospital, and truly Do the work of saving lives.
How to be a healthy person?
There are 3 key steps:
< br/>
The first step is to change perceptions .
A sentence that many people like to say is: I have seen dozens of specialists for this disease, but I can’t cure it, and they are all resistant. Can Chinese medicine adjust it? If you can’t even understand reconciliation, then there’s really nothing you can do.
The body has a disease, but I just want to find medicine to take, instead of looking for the reason from myself, the reason is not found, can taking medicine for a lifetime restore the body to health? Health is never in the hospital, health is not in the doctor, health can only depend on yourself. People who understand this sentence are either already healthy, or are already on the road to health.
The second step is to change bad habits.
Why is the water in the fish pond dirty? It’s you who throw garbage into the pond every day. So, if you want to improve water quality, do you have to stop throwing garbage? Is it necessary to change bad habits? What bad habits do you have in your life? You have to start adjusting now.
The third step is to maintain conditioning with proper methods.
Some people say that traditional Chinese medicine is slow, let’s think about it: you have thrown garbage in your own pond for decades, and now it takes a few months to clean up the pond with the ideas of traditional Chinese medicine. rubbish, really slow? Diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, taking western medicine is only to control the indicators quickly, you need to take medicine for a lifetime and can’t stop, can’t completely solve the problem, is it really fast?
