Western medicine focuses on observable entities, while Chinese medicine focuses on relationships that are difficult to observe. Take ** science as an example, Western medicine takes local cytopathy as a disease, and if it finds a cell lesion, it is sick, and if it is not found that there is a cell lesion, it is not sick. The external cause is the intensification of the contradiction between man and nature, and the internal cause is the loss of control of the overall management caused by imbalance. To put it simply, disease in TCM is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, cytopathy is qualitative change, of course, it is disease, and the quantitative change process before cytopathy is also a disease in TCM, but the direction and degree of quantitative change are different.
*Different methods of Chinese and Western medicine are also completely different. Western medicine relies on external forces, and using external forces to kill local diseased cells is all about Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine relies on the power of the whole, because according to the systematics law that the whole determines the part, as long as we restore the management of the whole, the local lesions will be changed and returned to the right under the control of the overall force, and all diseases will be eliminated at this time. That is to say, no matter what disease Chinese medicine treats, it is the same method, that is, to regulate the overall balance and restore the overall management, the difference is only that people's constitution is different and the medicine is different.
The various "targets" of diseases are often the same "root". As we all know, Chinese medicine emphasizes the treatment of diseases and the root cause. However, when doctors are accustomed to the pattern of subdivision, they often involuntarily divide the disease into specialties. This undoubtedly creates a kind of limiting thinking. It is easy to become a symptomatic idea of "treating headaches and feet pain". And many times, different diseases, different symptoms, in fact, there is only one reason.
For example, the water in the body is damp, and walking towards the head can make you dizzy, such as Lingguishu.
That is to say, the same book, dampness, can cause different targets, the same cause leads to different diseases, causes various symptoms, and involves various departments.
Therefore, a truly good Chinese medicine practitioner must grasp the human body as a whole and identify the disease from the whole body. You can't divide into subjects, and you can't divide them. Otherwise, how is it different from a blind man touching an elephant? And the one who can grasp the general order of the human body as a whole is naturally a general practitioner.
Once you understand TCM, you will know that TCM is a natural general practitioner who can treat any disease here. If you use TCM as a general practitioner, with hundreds of thousands of TCM practitioners in China, the medical problems of TCM are easy to solve. Because there are TCM practitioners at the grassroots level, the vast majority of diseases can be solved at the grassroots level, and few people go to the hospital anymore, so that medical expenses will be effectively controlled.
Many of the root causes of sores are internal medicine. For example, thrush, sometimes ** is actually intestinal carbuncle, that is, intestinal sores. Just applying plaster on the surface of ** will not be good for a lifetime. Mr. Hu Xishu has a medical case: barley aconite is scattered, and the intestinal carbuncle is treated internally, and the thrush on the surface of the skin is naturally cured.
For mental illness, Western medicine focuses on the brain anyway, and uses central nervous system inhibitors such as diazepam and clozapine. That's not what Chinese medicine practitioners. The so-called "psychosis" often has its roots outside the brain. For example, when the soup (pill) certificate is used to treat "mental illness" caused by blood stasis in the lower abdomen
Those who go mad will be scorched with heat, and those who will be whipped with a few abdomen, and those who urinate for self-benefit will be healed by blood. ”
Traditional Chinese medicine ** cancer is not just as simple as using so-called anti-cancer drugs such as lobelia and snake tongue. Of course, it shouldn't be so complicated that you can't start talking about cancer.
For the doctors who have learned the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", there is no essential difference between treating cancer and treating colds. For example, Da Chai Hu Tang is used to treat rectal cancer, and Chai Hu is used to treat liver cirrhosis with Chai Hu Herb and Yin Chen Wuling San.
If you don't study internal medicine and wet water stasis and other miscellaneous diseases, can you remove freckle, beautify your face, and do you want to be effective? Effective is also temporary. Infertility specialists?
If the whole human body does not recover, the cold of the uterus is not warm, the blood stasis is not removed, the dripping is not solved, the fibroids are not eliminated, the liver is not congested, the qi and blood are not restored, how to get pregnant. I won't give examples one by one.
Famous doctors of the past dynasties, such as the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing and the medicine king Sun Simiao, are not only the specialists of a certain type of disease. Zhong Jing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" and Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" are almost all cured.
Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine is usually medicine is not separated, prescribe their own prescriptions, prepare their own medicines, famous doctors are usually proficient in pharmacy, such as Li Shizhen, who wrote the book "Compendium of Materia Medica" of traditional Chinese medicine, and also has medical books "Eight Pulse Examinations of the Strange Classics" and "Pinhu Pulse Science" handed down.
Wang Ang, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, also wrote the classic medicine book "Materia Medica". At the same time, in ancient times, when doctors were treating each other, acupuncture and prescriptions were often used in conjunction with each other.
In the ** period, there was no division of Chinese medicine. Most of the TCM practitioners practice medicine in the form of private practice. The well-known Chinese medicine masters Hu Xishu, Zhu Weiju, Yun Tieqiao, Cao Yingfu, etc., all opened private clinics back then. Traditional Chinese medicine is basically taught through mentoring and apprenticeship.
