Health for All says
In recent years, with the increasing awareness of health, people's attention to health literacy has also increased. As an experienced TCM practitioner, I am well aware of the importance of the basic indicators of the human body for health. Today, I will combine the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, quote ancient and modern famous prescriptions, and introduce some popular science knowledge about the basic indicators of the human body.
First of all, the body's body temperature is one of the basic indicators that we are most familiar with. In TCM theory, body temperature has an important diagnostic value. Normal body temperature should be at 365℃~37.2 If the body temperature is too high or too low, it may be a sign of some kind of physical problem. For example, TCM believes that hyperthermia may be related to exuberant internal fire, hyperactive yang, etc., while hypothermia may be related to insufficient yang, cold condensation, etc. Therefore, maintaining a proper body temperature is essential for the health of the body.
Secondly, pulse is one of the important indicators that reflect the vital activities of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the diagnostic value of the pulse, and in ancient Chinese medicine books, there is a detailed discussion on the classification of pulse and its relationship with diseases of the internal organs. In general, the pulse should be rhythmic, dynamic, and rhythmic. If the pulse is too fast or too slow, or if the pulse is weak and weak, it may indicate something is wrong with the body. Pulse observation requires an experienced doctor, so if we can master some basic pulse detection methods on our own, it will be very helpful for our own health.
In addition, TCM also emphasizes the importance of tongue diagnosis. The tongue, as one of the manifestations of the human body, can reflect the health status of the body. By observing the condition of the tongue texture and tongue coating, TCM doctors can judge the yin and yang, cold and heat, and viscera of the body. For example, a thick tongue coating may be associated with poor spleen and stomach function, dampness and heatThe yellow and greasy tongue coating may be related to the exuberance of liver fire. Therefore, tongue diagnosis is one of the important methods of TCM to distinguish diseases.
In addition to the basic indicators mentioned above, the body also has multiple indicators such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate that can reflect the health status of the body. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on achieving health by regulating the balance of yin and yang, and there are many famous prescriptions in Chinese medicine that can also assist in conditioning, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill and Xiaoyaosan. However, we cannot rely solely on these indicators or drugs to judge and maintain health, and we also need to pay attention to reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and good attitude.
In today's scientific and technological progress, we can detect and monitor these basic indicators through various instruments and equipment. However, we should also understand that these indicators are only a means to help us understand our physical health, and ultimately rely on the right lifestyle and conditioning methods to stay healthy.
By understanding and achieving the basic indicators of health, we can better care for and protect our health. I hope that everyone will not only pay attention to the monitoring of basic indicators in daily life, but also pay more attention to balanced diet, moderate exercise, good rest, etc., and pay attention to external physical performance and lifestyle while paying attention to the inside.
