Self-taught Chinese medicine, although the name is not right, the words are not good, neither meet the requirements of the state, nor do they have legal documents, but in the people, it is a group that cannot be underestimated. In this group, there is no shortage of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, such as the famous Chinese medicine doctor Master Li Ke, who started out as a senior Chinese medicine enthusiast.
As a TCM enthusiast, there must be a certain reason why you are determined to get involved and be willing to work hard for it!
First of all, let's talk about 5 reasons why I studied Chinese medicine:
One: family factors. According to my father, my grandfather used to be a well-known local Chinese medicine practitioner, specializing in incurable diseases, such as infertility and miscarriage. Because of the good curative effect and positive medical ethics, it is deeply loved by the local villagers. It is said that many years after my father left the county, there were still villagers who would go to worship.
Next is my father, due to various reasons, he did not inherit the mantle of Chinese medicine, but he did not leave this road, but embarked on the route of Chinese medicine. In the seventies and eighties of the last century, Chinese medicine was not completely separated, so he was a combination of medicine and medicine, but he was no longer as good as my grandfather in terms of medical attainments.
When I came to study Chinese medicine, I was influenced by my father in large part. Playing in the Chinese medicine pharmacy all day long, I gradually became familiar with the smell and taste of various Chinese medicines, and gradually turned to the direction of learning Chinese medicine.
However, due to historical reasons, I chose Chinese medicine at that time and has been working in this position for more than 20 years. When I wanted to take the Chinese medicine exam again, the policy was no longer allowed, and the policy of separating medicine from the family firmly blocked me from the door.
Then simply take Chinese medicine as a hobby, after all, Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine are not incompatible.
The second reason for self-study of Chinese medicine, which is mentioned above, is of great help to the profession!
As a practicing Chinese pharmacist, if you can not only see the 18 antis and 19 fears when reviewing the prescription, you should also know the basic theories of Chinese medicine and understand the reasons for the doctor's medication. Wouldn't it be a good help to give appropriate advice when a doctor makes a clerical error or a mistake in judgment?
The third reason, of course, is for the health of the family. Since learning Chinese medicine, it is indispensable to practice, and without practice, it can only be on paper. However, trapped in the factors of unlicensed medical practice, it can only be carried out on family members, and occasional colds and coughs, spleen and stomach discomfort, etc., can be easily regulated, which is not a comfortable thing!
What kind of interest do you have to learn Chinese medicine by yourself, and warmly welcome to communicate and make friends in the comment area!
