The arrival of winter is often accompanied by the appearance of symptoms such as colds, fevers, and runny noses. This is due to the fact that the climate is dry, and the body's resistance to diseases is reduced.
Although these diseases may not seem serious, if a part or tissue inside the body is invaded by a pathogen, it can cause a more serious illness or even be life-threatening.
Therefore, even if it is a minor illness or pain, we should remain vigilant and seek medical attention in time to prevent the condition from worsening.
Cancer is one of the serious diseases that the human body can suffer from, and people often develop fear of it due to the terrible effects that cancer cells can cause on organs or tissues. Although the word "cancer" is very common in the field of Western medicine, in Chinese medicine, there is also a specific term for cancer.
In fact, Chinese medicine discovered cancer early on and gave it a very familiar name. Do you know what the name is? Although cancer has not been completely conquered, with the continuous improvement of modern science and technology, human research on itself is also deepening, which has greatly promoted the development and advancement of medical technology.
New medical tools and devices are constantly emerging and being updated.
With the rapid progress and widespread popularization of medical technology, the living standards of ordinary people have made a qualitative leap, and the average life expectancy of people has also been significantly extended. However, the challenges in the medical field remain daunting, and many diseases continue to be difficult for medical professionals, especially cancer.
Despite the great advances in medical technology, cancer is still a headache because cancer cells are almost impossible to conquer completely. As a result, cancer is still regarded as one of the most widespread diseases affecting human health, and once diagnosed, many patients' lives become very fragile.
Although the word "cancer" came into existence after Western medicine was introduced to China, it does not mean that cancer is caused by Western medicine. Cancer existed long before the advent of humans.
Not only humans can get cancer, but many animals also suffer from cancer. TCM refers to cancer as a "tumor", so how did TCM define cancer before Western medicine was introduced to China?
We know that the culture of Chinese medicine is profound, and miracle doctors can often ** patients in a peculiar way.
In fact, ancient Chinese medicine books began to record cancer a long time ago, but due to the historical conditions at that time, these records were still slightly vague. For example, in the pre-Qin period, there were a small number of ancient books that recorded the incidence of cancer patients, but these records lacked awareness and concepts of cancer cells.
However, in the Han Dynasty, TCM physicians began to conduct more in-depth research on cancer, and there are many accounts of cancer in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing". Because cancer cells form a small bump in the affected part of the body when they multiply in the body, TCM practitioners record cancer as a "tumor".
Patients may not experience significant discomfort at first, but over time, the "tumor" will gradually increase in size.
At that time, this "tumor" would bring a strong foreign body sensation, and it would also protrude on the surface of the body, seriously affecting the patient's life. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners tried to perform the first generation of "surgery" to cut out the tumor with a knife, but they found that the tumor would **, and the patient was still in pain.
This made the Chinese medicine practitioners of the time feel helpless, and some even considered it a vicious curse. In fact, this phenomenon described by ancient people was only a preliminary explanation for the endless proliferation of cancer cells, which was not understood by the people of the time.
Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners had an in-depth understanding and research on cancer, and they recorded the whole process of the patient's condition in detail, including symptoms such as sunken eyes, lack of energy, emaciation, and fatigue, which is basically consistent with the condition of modern cancer.
It is worth mentioning that ancient Chinese medicine also had a certain understanding of the specific cancer category. For example, breast cancer, a disease that plagues contemporary women, appears frequently in classical medical texts.
This undoubtedly impressed us with the wisdom of the ancient physicians. In fact, surgery is not the preserve of Western medicine, we are their ancestors. Many diseases can be treated with extracorporeal acupuncture, and there is no need to use a knife, which fully reflects the superb skills of our Chinese medicine.
Nowadays, although human beings have in-depth research on cancer and can ** many early patients, the ravages of cancer cannot be ignored. Especially for patients with advanced cancer, although chemotherapy can temporarily prolong their lives, it is difficult to escape the fate of the world, which makes relatives sad.
At the same time, with the acceleration of the pace of society, people are too interested in profit and efficiency, and neglect to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which further increases the risk of cancer.
However, insisting on eating more fresh fruits and green vegetables and maintaining good lifestyle habits are still effective ways to prevent and fight cancer, which is our common well-being.
Although we don't want to see the infinite multiplication of cancer cells cause the body's immune cells to be powerless, leaving many doctors helpless, cancer has become the disease that takes the most human life on the planet.
Some even predicted that if someone could find a way to completely defeat cancer cells, then he would win the Nobel Prize without suspense, because this disease poses a huge threat to people's health.
So, do you think cancer cells can be completely defeated? After reading this article, I believe you have a deeper understanding of ancient Chinese medicine in our country, you are right"tumors"Is the word intimidating or affectionate?
