the proportion of people in “sub-health” status is rising.
With the fierce competition in all walks of life in society, young and middle-aged people are under tremendous pressure from their families and society. They often devote themselves to their work and have no time to pay attention to their own health. Many people are blindly confident in their own health and always make unscientific self judgments based on their own experience. Due to the lack of basic health knowledge, the body has early signs of disease, always thinking that it is a small problem, ignoring it, and sticking to it. When it reaches a certain point, it is time for the disease to come true.
In fact, many people are already in the “sub-health” state, also known as the “gray state” and the “third state”. This state is difficult to diagnose because there are no positive signs in Western medical examination. Finally, it is often thought that there is no disease. In fact, there are early signs of disease in the body. In case of minor illness and pain, I went to the drugstore to buy some medicine according to the advertisement to cope with my illness temporarily. When the body can’t stand it, it affects normal work, the treatment period has passed, and the disease has reached an irreversible stage. Such examples are common in life.
Who is prone to the third state? People who often drink too much, smoke too much, eat too much, weigh too much or too light, live too much at night, work at night, overwork mentally, and women before and after menstruation. If we do not pay attention to it and take precautions against it, it will become a disease if it continues to aggravate. These people are best suited to solve problems through traditional Chinese medicine in the period of symptoms.
traditional Chinese medicine should take the lead in normal health examination.
One of the most basic ways to pay attention to one’s own health is to find Chinese medicine for diagnosis. Even for those who had been examined by western medicine in those years, there were many cases of pathological changes, not to mention those who were examined only once every few years. If you can insist on regular physical examination every year, it will be beneficial to yourself, your family and the society. In spite of this, there are also blind spots in physical examination of Western medicine. In fact, when people mention examination, they can’t help thinking of various data indicators and films, and ignore the importance of traditional Chinese medicine examination. TCM can more accurately infer the activity state of individual life functions through the diagnostic methods of “essence, Qi, spirit” and “looking, smelling, asking and touching”, combined with factors such as season, climate, region and mood. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine examination, as a different examination method from western medicine, can not be ignored, and has attracted the attention of medical circles in developed countries in Europe and America. Once a patient has symptoms such as fatigue, chest tightness, loss of appetite, and poor sleep, and Western medicine can not find anything abnormal, he can be diagnosed by traditional Chinese medicine and adjusted according to syndrome differentiation.
Chinese medicine experts proposed that the physical and mental state of the human body should be diagnosed from the perspective of syndrome differentiation such as Yang, Wei, Qi, Ying, blood, Sanjiao and six meridians. If a patient feels uncomfortable about himself, Chinese medicine can judge a person’s situation by looking at his face, tongue coating and pulse palpation from his own perspective. It should be said that to combine the two, it is best to seek advice and guidance from traditional Chinese medicine first and determine the direction of examination.
syndrome differentiation and conditioning after TCM diagnosis
Many people get used to the idea of tonifying themselves when they reach middle age, but before tonifying, it is best to let Chinese medicine know their own constitution before tonifying. At present, various supplements and health care products are popular in the market, and there are countless products advertised or marketed through pyramid schemes. When choosing, it is most likely that problems will occur. Because everyone’s physique is different, the tonic suitable for others may not be suitable for oneself. If it is not done well, it will “supplement” Yin and Yang.
Chinese medicine experts also pointed out that health products, under the banner of improving “immunity”, should know that “immunity” is also divided into many kinds, such as cellular immunity and humoral immunity. Some people have low immunity, others have high immunity, and they can’t tell them apart. In addition, some supplements and health products in the market refer to “improving immunity”, which actually means improving resistance, that is, anti-virus and anti cold, which are different from immunity. Therefore, not one tonic is suitable for all people. Many people think of ginseng because of human deficiency, but there is also the reason that white ginseng is cold and red ginseng is warm. For people with thick yellow tongue coating, it may also cure other diseases.
In general, tonic also needs to be adjusted according to syndrome differentiation, and it can’t be done by feeling in general. The safest and most reliable way is to consult a TCM doctor first, analyze and understand your own situation, and the TCM doctor will tell you what to eat and which aspects need scientific conditioning according to your condition.
