Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Care

It is useful, but it is by no means the standard package of wolfberry, moxibustion, and foot bath for thousands of people uploaded on the Internet. Its core is "according to the weather, adjusting balance, and focusing on the individual." There is no unified "correct template". As long as it matches your physique and rhythm of life, even if you spend ten minutes a day, you can get real improvements. If you copy other people's plans, you may develop problems.

Last month, a young girl who works in new media came to me and said that she followed the blogger to make a "spring liver nourishing package", drinking dandelion tea + eating raw coix seeds every day for twenty days. Not only did the acne on her face not disappear, but every time I came, my aunt broke out in cold sweats.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the long-standing different views in traditional Chinese medicine. The febrile disease school is mostly located in the south of the Yangtze River, where the climate is hot and humid, so it prefers to use cooling products to evacuate wind-heat and clear away dampness and heat. It is not wrong to say that liver fire should be cleared in spring, but for dry and cold areas in the north, or people who are afraid of the cold, the idea of ​​typhoid school to protect yang energy is more applicable. Even in spring, drinking some astragalus and jujube water is more comfortable than drinking dandelion. Both schools are right, but they are suitable for different groups of people. There is no need to compete with each other.

There are three things always placed on the tea tray in my clinic: tangerine peel, osmanthus, and roasted malt. When patients come in, I will let them choose one to brew and drink. Some people sigh as soon as they come in, and their chests feel as if they are pressed by a stone. Most of them choose osmanthus, drink half a cup, burp smoothly, and speak openly. ； Someone just came from the wine shop, with a bitter taste in the mouth and a thick coating on the tongue. Most of them chose fried malt. Not long after drinking it, most of the bloated feeling in the stomach disappeared. ； There are also people who cough up white phlegm all year round and get rhinitis when the seasons change. No need to ask, just grab two pieces of tangerine peel and soak them in it. Many people say that my "introductory tea" is more effective than the prescribed medicine. In fact, it is not a miraculous effect. It just targets the small imbalance in the body at the moment, and there is no need to use any expensive medicinal materials.

There has been a lot of discussion on the Internet recently about "Should we strictly follow food taboos in order to maintain good health?", I have also seen it. Some people say that you should not touch even a bite of ice, and drinking cold water will damage your yang energy. Others say that as long as you don't feel uncomfortable after eating, you can eat whatever you want, and there is no need to shackle yourself. I once met an old man from Chongqing. He was over 70 years old. He drank a bowl of iced soy milk every morning and ate it with spicy buns. His blood pressure and blood lipids were normal throughout his life, and his spleen and stomach were stronger than many young people. Are you saying that you have to make him give up ice soy milk? On the contrary, it makes him feel uncomfortable even when eating, and makes him depressed and panicky. As time goes by, his anger will increase, which makes him prone to problems. The "Huangdi Nei Jing" talks about "Three Adjustments to Conditions", which are to adjust measures to local conditions, time conditions and people. The words of our ancestors are originally true, but many people have to follow them to death.

To be honest, keeping in good health is almost the same as raising your own pet. If you raise a doll, you have to comb it every day and pay attention to the intestines and stomach. If you raise an orange cat, it will be fine. You can't watch other people's orange cats feed raw meat and bones every day. If you feed a doll with a glass stomach, don't you mean to make it suffer? Human body constitution is even worse than that of cat breeds. How can there be any unified national health standards?

The misunderstanding of many people's current health care is that they are too hasty. They wish they could soak their feet today and the moisture will be gone tomorrow. If they do moxibustion this month, they will live a long life next month. It's really not necessary. When you get off work, don’t sit on the sofa and check your phone. Go downstairs and take a 20-minute walk. It will be more effective than buying hundreds of yuan of dehumidification tea. ； Chew slowly when eating, and eat less than two bites to fill up your stomach. This is better than how many stomach and digestive tablets you take. ； If you are really not sure what your constitution is, just go to a regular traditional Chinese medicine hospital to register and spend twenty yuan to have the doctor take your pulse. It will be more reliable than watching the videos of health bloggers for ten nights.
