“The history of traditional Chinese medicine is the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, which has never been chronological or lost. It includes four aspects: medicine, doctors, medical books, and medical theory.
The most important theories of traditional Chinese medicine are the yin and yang method, and the further refinement is the five elements theory, which aims to mediate the balance of yin and yang.
Doctors practice medicine and use the "Four Diagnosis", that is, "look, smell, ask, and cut." Treatment methods include meteorite, acupuncture, decoction, moxibustion, Daoyin, Qi Bu, Zhu You, etc.
Speaking of these four diagnoses, people nowadays generally only see the last one "cut" and think it is pulse detection, and ignore the first three. In fact, it is not the case.
Let’s talk about the appearance first. When the patient enters the door, at first glance, his complexion is yellow and withered, and he knows that the patient may have spleen deficiency, bad luck, and insufficient qi and blood.
Next, look at the tongue. If the tongue coating is yellow, thick, and peeling, it is basically judged that the patient has internal dampness and heat, and at the same time there is a deficiency of stomach yin.
Auscultation includes listening to sounds and smelling odors. Through these two methods, we can understand health conditions and diagnose diseases.
Listening to sounds refers to examining the patient’s breathing, coughing, vomiting, sneezing, bowel sounds and other sounds.
Smell refers to the smell of various odors, secretions, excretions and other odors emitted from the patient's body.
The patient's cough is heavy and dull, which is usually a real symptom, caused by the accumulation of cold phlegm, dampness and turbidity in the lungs, and the lack of lung purification.
Another example is smelling the air in the ward. For example, you can smell the smell of rotten apples as soon as you enter the ward, which is more common in patients with severe diabetes.
Questionnaire is a clinical information collection method in which doctors and patients communicate directly through language. It plays a very important role in the process of disease diagnosis.
Many information about the disease, such as medical history, family history, etc., can only be obtained through consultation.
Understanding these conditions can help doctors analyze the condition, determine the location of the disease, and grasp the nature of the disease, thereby providing a reliable basis for treatment.
The "Ten Questions Song" of Chinese medicine summarizes the contents that need to be consulted in a very detailed manner. This is also one of the songs that every doctor must know.
Diagnosis is not only taking the pulse, but also touching, touching, pressing, and pressing certain parts of the patient to understand the condition and diagnose the disease.
Pulse counting is undoubtedly the most important link among the four diagnosis methods, and it is also an important means to test a doctor’s clinical experience and level.”
The young man served the food and interrupted the old expert. After the food was put on the table, Tie Jun picked up the wine bottle soaked in hot water and filled it up for the old man first.
"Do you know why the wine needs to be scalded?"
"It's to evaporate the aldehydes in the wine that are harmful to the body!"
Tie Jun still has this common sense. Guan Yu warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong, and Jia Baoyu drank cold wine and was scolded by Xue Baochai. This is what he meant.
"Well, it's also to control the amount. Warm wine is not intoxicating. It doesn't mean that you won't get drunk, but if it exceeds half a kilogram, the human body will experience nausea and regurgitation."
This is the first time Tiejun has heard of this statement. Everyone has indeed gained a lot of knowledge by following the doctor.
The grandfather and grandson had a drink, and the old man continued to talk. Tie Jun liked it very much and even regretted not enrolling in the Medical University.
"I just talked about yin and yang theory, these two are meridian science. The main trunk of the human body is the meridian, and the branches are the collaterals. The human body has twelve meridians, plus the Ren and Du meridians..."
"Grandpa, can you master the peerless martial arts by opening up the Ren and Du channels?"
"Hehehe, grandpa has opened up the Rendu and Du's second meridians, and his energy and spirit are getting better. If you want to learn, I will teach you later and see if you can learn peerless martial arts?"
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Tie Jun learned kung fu from Master Hong. If he could really open up the Ren and Du channels, he might be able to make an astonishing leap forward.
“Meridians connect the internal organs, limbs, bones, skin, muscles, and veins of the human body into an organic unity.
The five internal organs here are also called six internal organs, do you know why?"
Tie Jun shook his head, still thinking about those Jin Yong novels he read when he was in school, about these acupuncture points and that bloodline.
"When talking about women, we can say the six internal organs, and the sixth internal organs refers to the uterus."
Tie Jun said oh, and Chu Yao was more dirty than him.
“Western medicine never recognized the science of meridians until 1972, when Mr. Zhu successfully performed acupuncture anesthesia, which caused a sensation in the world.
After that, many experts and leaders came to visit China, including President Nick. The Prime Minister introduced that meridian science is a treasure of Chinese medicine.
It was also from that year that Chinese medicine attracted the attention of Western medicine. Listen carefully, it is attention, not acceptance of Chinese medicine.
On the contrary, we quickly accepted Western medicine, especially after the chairman proposed the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, our medical practice philosophy has not changed.
Having said this, I would like to emphasize that the integration of Chinese and Western medicine does not mean that after you become ill, you go to see both Western medicine and Chinese medicine."
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Now, if I'm sick, should I see a Chinese doctor or a Western doctor?"
Tie Jun raised his hand and asked a question like a primary school student. The old expert smiled.
"That's a good question. Let me compare Chinese and Western medicine for you. The answer lies in it.
Let me give you an example. For example, if you catch a cold and have a fever, Western medicine will focus on reducing the fever. On the contrary, Chinese medicine will help you perspire and force out the cold air.
After taking all the treatments, Western medicine will ask you, has your fever gone down? Chinese medicine will ask you, have you sweated?
Do you understand? Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes drainage, which focuses on elimination. It is not as fast as infusion, but it can remove the cold air from your body and prevent it from remaining in your body to cause trouble.
At this time, you are paying the price of registration and traditional Chinese medicine, which does not harm your body.
As for Western medicine, the virus can be suppressed directly by infusion, but the wind and cold are still in your body. As for the recurrence, the hospital will of course be happy and just try it a few more times.
Because you have to do various inspections again, spend a lot of money, and then repeat the same operations as last time.
Traditional Chinese medicine has four diagnostic methods, which look at the cause of your illness and offer a variety of treatments, including acupuncture, cupping, or even just letting you drink some ginger soup.
When Western medicine looks at data, it looks at the focus of your disease, that is, where it hurts, you need to treat it, and what you need to treat quickly will be effective.
There is a popular saying in big hospitals in Beijing: two hours in line and five minutes to see a doctor.
This is what I mean by Western medicine looking at data. If you don’t do blood routine, urine routine, kidney function, liver function, electrocardiogram and other tests, the doctor won’t be able to treat you!
Therefore, it depends on what kind of disease you have. If it is a common disease such as a headache and a cold, it is best not to consult Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine can solve it very easily.
So, let me ask you a question: Western medicine can cure diseases quickly, and Chinese medicine can restore health quickly. So, do you want to control the disease or restore health?"
The old expert looked at Tie Jun with a smile. Tie Jun frowned in thought and did not dare to talk nonsense. The old expert picked up the wine glass, and Tie Jun subconsciously raised his glass and clinked it.
