The basic characteristics of Chinese medicine
Medicine that the body is a core meridians organic whole, between the various organs and tissues are interrelated, interact and promote each other; the human body and nature are closely related, is the overall unity of opposites.
First, the overall concept of simple
(1) The human body is an organic whole the parts of the body is an organic link, this link is based on the five internal organs as the center, through the meridians of the communication and links to various body organs, orifices and holes fur, muscles, bones and other organizations closely into an integrated whole. Such as heart together the small intestine, the main blood vessels, opens into the tongue; lung together large intestine, the main gas, opens into the nose; spleen combined stomach, the main muscles, limbs, opens into the mouth; liver bile together, Zhu Jin, opens into the eyes; Kidney and bladder, bone, opens into the ear and so on. This integrity, manifested in the physiology, pathology and diagnostic aspects of treatment, the clinical impact is on the basis of such contacts and to guide the diagnosis and treatment.
(2) the relationship between man and nature “Su asked. Four of atmosphere of God “that” yin and yang seasons husband who is also the root of all things. “Living in nature, day and night, yin and yang of growth and decline, climate change throughout the year, different regions of the geographical environment, living conditions, living habits, have a direct impact on people’s physical activity. Under normal circumstances, people can adapt to changes in the law of nature there. “Coffin. Five other articles body fluid retention of urine, “said:” The days of summer clothing is thick Cou open, so sweat … … Cou Li Tian Han is closed, gas, not wet, water left in the bladder, was drowning and gas “, so” Spirit hub. Off evil chapter “, said:” Man and the corresponding world. ” Once the changes in climate conditions over the body’s ability to adapt, or adjust the body’s malfunction, not to adapt to external changes in the reaction occurs when the disease.
Second, the diagnosis and treatment
The use of look, smell, and asked, cutting the diagnosis, to collect the patient’s symptoms, signs and the history of the situation, analyze, synthesize, identify the nature and location of pathological changes, to determine what the nature of the “syndrome”, the process is ” dialectic. ” “Treating” is in the differentiation based on the treatment of good and evil and the case law established. Therefore, the premise of the treatment of Syndrome and basis of governance is the means and methods of treating disease, is also purpose of differentiation, and differentiation is correct or not the test.
“Certificate” and “disease” is different. “Disorders” are symptoms such as headache, chills, cough, chest pain, etc.; “card” is a syndrome, a disease stage of the development process of a broad variety of symptoms, including lesions, the reasons for and nature of the disease the struggle between factors and disease resistance and so on, it is profound, comprehensive and correct to reflect the nature of the disease.
Diagnosis and treatment is different from the “symptomatic treatment”, and modern medicine said “disease treatment.” Disease can occur at different stages of different syndromes, different diseases, but also in its development occurred during the same syndrome. Therefore, the same disease with different syndromes, the treatment is different, such as edema (GN) patients, the initial fever, chills, edema, dysuria such as “feng shui certificate” Expelling Xuanfei sweating, swelling the water to recede Lee; post See backache, cold extremities, chills, face white, puffy as the “deficiency of kidney yang evidence” rule when the warm kidney Yang Fu. Syndrome of different diseases as long as the same rule can apply the same method, such as prolapse, ptosis of the stomach, uterine prolapse and other diseases, are caused by subsidence in the air, can be treated with the method of Qi and Sun, which is often in the medical that the “same disease with different governance”, “treating different diseases.”
These two features are unique to Chinese medicine. With the continuous development of Chinese medicine, its content will also continue to improve and enhance the practice of disease prevention and control play a bigger role.
