1. Nourishment: Let the body be healthy from within.
Essence cultivation is an important part of TCM health preservation, which refers to the protection and nourishment of the body's essence so that the body can stay healthy. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the essence of the human body is the basic substance of the human body's vital activities, and it is essential for maintaining good health. Therefore, how to nourish essence has become an important topic of TCM health preservation.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many ways to nourish essence, the most important of which is to regulate the diet reasonably. TCM practitioners believe that a healthy diet is closely related to the body's essence and qi. Therefore, in terms of diet, we should pay attention to eating some nourishing foods, such as eggs, glutinous rice, black sesame seeds, etc. In addition, you can also choose suitable Chinese medicine for conditioning according to your own physique, such as ginseng, wolfberry, etc., to achieve the effect of nourishing essence.
2. Nourish Qi: To maintain health, you need to adjust your breathing.
Compared with the cultivation of essence, the importance of qi cultivation cannot be ignored. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi is the driving force for the human body to maintain life activities, and regulating breathing is an important means to maintain health. Therefore, qi nourishment has become another important magic weapon for TCM health preservation.
There are many ways to nourish qi, the most common of which is to regulate the breathing. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that by reasonably adjusting breathing, you can keep the flow of qi and blood and enhance the body's immunity. In life, we can achieve the effect of nourishing qi through some simple breathing exercises, such as deep breathing, slow exhalation, etc. In addition, you can also choose some exercises such as qigong and tai chi that suit you to help adjust your breathing and keep your qi unblocked.
3. Nourish the spirit: invigorate the spiritual strength and improve the quality of life.
Nourishing the spirit is the third treasure of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, which refers to maintaining a good mental state, making the spirit vigorous, and enhancing the body's resistance and immunity. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nourishing the mind is essential to improve the quality of life and prevent disease.
There are many ways to cultivate your mind, but the most important one is to maintain a good attitude. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a good and positive mood helps to improve the mental state. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay attention to adjusting our mentality and maintain an optimistic mental state. In addition, you can also choose some leisure methods that suit you, such as reading, listening, etc., to help relax and nourish your mind.
To sum up, the three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation - nourishing essence, nourishing qi and nourishing the spirit, are important methods for people to maintain health and prolong life. By rationally regulating our diet, adjusting our breathing, and maintaining a good attitude, we can achieve the effect of nourishing our essence, qi, and spirits, and improve our overall health.
