In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently, causing great threats and injuries to people's lives and property. How should we deal with this natural disaster? As an old Chinese medicine practitioner, I think we can learn from the theories and ancient and modern prescriptions of Chinese medicine to enhance our self-help ability and reduce the damage caused by disasters to our physical and mental health.
First of all, we should pay attention to physical exercise and enhance physical fitness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is a delicate balance between the health of the body and the natural elements. With proper exercise, muscle strength, toughness and flexibility can be increased, and the body's ability to adapt can be improved. It is recommended to do some aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, tai chi, etc., which can not only promote blood circulation and strengthen muscles, but also improve the overall immunity of the body.
Secondly, when it happens, we need to adopt the correct posture to reduce the injury. Many people are frightened and prone to wrong reactions. According to TCM theory, we can adopt some correct postures, such as lying down, sitting down, squatting, etc., to reduce the risk of injury to the head and limbs. In addition, staying calm and paying attention to your breathing can relieve psychological stress and maintain balance between body and mind.
Third, after **, we need to eat reasonably and nourish the body. Disasters often cause great mental stress and physical damage to people. As TCM, we can start with diet and conditioning. After **, we can drink more porridge foods in moderation, such as barley porridge, red bean porridge, etc., to replenish the water and nutrients needed by the body. In addition, you can also eat some foods that have the ability to strengthen the spleen and stomach, and resist fatigue, such as yams, red dates, etc. These foods can help us recover our strength and strengthen our resistance.
Finally, we can also learn from the classic prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning. Ancient Chinese medicine has summarized some emergency prescriptions, which can be used for some common symptoms, such as insomnia, headache, diarrhea, etc. For example, tranquilizers can be used to relieve insomnia, anxiety, and other bad emotions; Bohol pills are used to treat digestive disorders such as diarrhea. Of course, when using these medications, you should follow your doctor's guidance and pay attention to the dosage and duration of the medication according to your own situation.
To sum up, when the time comes, we can reduce the damage to us and enhance our self-help ability through exercise, correct posture, reasonable diet and traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Of course, this is only some preliminary response measures, for more serious disasters, we also need to increase investment in research, disaster prevention science and technology, etc., to improve social response capabilities. Only with the joint efforts of the whole society can we better respond to disasters and protect people's lives and property.
