Fan Letter] Dear Doctor, Hello! I'm a big fan of yours and I've been following your popular science articles. Recently, I have become interested in the body's ability to heal itself, and I would like to ask you some questions. Could you please share the secrets of the body's ability to heal itself, as well as some ancient recipes and theories of Chinese medicine in this regard? We look forward to hearing from you!
My question is: How does the body's ability to heal itself work? What are the ancient formulas and theories of TCM that can promote self-healing?
Popular science answer] The self-healing ability of the human body refers to the ability of the human body to restore normal functions through its own regulation and repair mechanism when it is attacked by external injuries or diseases. This ability has a rich connotation in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which coincides with the understanding of modern medicine.
First of all, the basis of the body's ability to heal itself is the vitality of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that vitality refers to the energy of life activities in the human body, which includes the functions of the five internal organs, the operation of qi, blood and fluid, and the conduction of meridians. Only when the vitality is vigorous can the human body's self-healing ability be fully utilized. Therefore, staying active is key to maintaining good health.
Secondly, there is an important concept in TCM theory, and that is "righteous qi". Righteousness refers to the ability of the human body to resist disease, which can resist the invasion of external evils and maintain the physiological functions of the human body. When the righteous qi is sufficient, it is difficult for the disease to invade, and the human body can naturally heal itself. Therefore, enhancing righteousness is an important way to improve self-healing ability.
Next, there are some ancient formulas and theories in TCM that can promote self-healing ability. Among them, the most representative are the "Four Gentlemen's Soup" and the "Buzhong Yiqi Soup".
Sijunzi soup is composed of ginseng, atractylodes, poria cocos, and licorice, and is mainly used for symptoms such as loss of appetite and fatigue caused by spleen and stomach qi deficiency. This formula can nourish the spleen and enhance the function of the spleen and stomach, thereby improving the body's ability to heal itself.
Buzhong Yiqi decoction is composed of astragalus, ginseng, atractylodes, boiled licorice, angelica, cimicifuga, bupleurum, and tangerine peel, which is mainly used for qi deficiency, fever, fatigue and other symptoms. This formula can nourish the spleen qi, raise the central qi, and make the body's righteous qi sufficient, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the self-healing ability.
In addition to ancient prescriptions, TCM also has some health preservation theories and methods that can promote self-healing ability, such as diet and exercise, psychological adjustment, etc. These methods and theories all emphasize the body's own ability to regulate and repair and are designed to help people achieve health.
In conclusion, the body's ability to heal itself is a miraculous and powerful mechanism that can help us cope with various diseases and injuries. By maintaining vitality, enhancing righteousness, and using ancient Chinese medicine and health preservation methods, we can give full play to our self-healing abilities and achieve a healthy life.
