The first time I discovered the magic of Chinese medicine was a cervical spondylosis two years ago. At that time, the cervical spine suddenly became stiff, the head could not move, and it was often in severe pain. I went to the hospital to take an X-ray and register as an expert. The doctor asked me to pay attention to my neck posture and gradually relieved it, but there was no immediate solution. At this time, a Chinese medicine friend came to help me, without even touching the neck, first found a point in the middle of the abdomen (later I knew it should be Zhongwan), pressed along the sides of the point, it felt very stiff, and then pinched the sides of the knees and ankles After howling like a pig several times, I suddenly realized that my neck could move, and the stiffness disappeared. At the same time, I pressed the area around Zhongwan again, and it became soft.
The second time was last year that my child always had a bad cough. I found him and looked at the tongue coating. He found that the tongue coating was red and thick. After a few manipulations, the thick yellow coating was obviously much thinner, and the cough was relieved a lot.
After these two times, I realized that some diseases can be cured without going to the hospital for X-rays, injections and infusions. With traditional Chinese medicine, the means and methods that cause the least harm to the body can be used to achieve a radical cure. So I follow Luo Dalun and Lazy Rabbit. These are not for the purpose of making money, but the real official account that popularizes Chinese medicine. In fact, after reading it, you will sum up some common points, and you can solve some common diseases by yourself.
A few days ago, my child was skiing and was freezing. After returning home, he started to runny nose, sneeze and have a fever. The fever was over 40 degrees at night. It should be the flu virus that has been circulating recently. Chinese medicine called the invasion of external pathogens, so he used perilla leaves to soak his feet in water. Cold, take children's Guichai oral liquid (dispelling external cold and clearing heat), moxibustion Dazhui, Tianzhu, Zhongwan, Shenque, to improve Yang Qi. The next morning, it dropped to over 37 degrees. At noon, the body temperature was completely normal. After sleeping in the afternoon, there was no fever again. The second stage of the cold was external cold and internal heat. The symptoms changed from runny nose and sneezing to coughing, so yesterday’s routine continued. , coupled with the warm gall soup to clear the heat, the cough is no longer in one day, and I can go to kindergarten on the third day.
I have read many articles and posts criticizing Chinese medicine, even some are well-known western medicine experts, and there are many people around me who do not believe in Chinese medicine. A large part of them are men with science and engineering majors, with high scientific literacy. They firmly believe in the experimental results, are strong in logic, and like to use data. Speaking, things that violate the logic of modern science will make them feel ridiculous. But in fact, my Chinese medicine friend is a male with a pure science and engineering degree from a well-known domestic university.
I have summed up those points of view that criticize Chinese medicine, nothing more than three points:
1. The logic system of Chinese medicine is too abstract, which conflicts with the logic of modern science. Chinese medicine emphasizes yin and yang and the five elements, so what are yin and yang and what are the five elements? It cannot be seen or touched, which is very similar to feudal superstition.
2. The side effects of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be verified by modern scientific experiments, and modern Chinese medicinal materials can no longer be planted and processed in the same way as in ancient times. Chinese medicine died of traditional Chinese medicine.
3. The treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine are complicated and slow to take effect.
Well, the first point does exist and will exist for a long time. As for the logical system of yin-yang and five elements, modern science can’t explain it, but I think science has not developed enough to explain it, and if Chinese medicine continues to be no longer passed on, we The wisdom summed up by our ancestors for thousands of years will never be explained.
The second point also exists. Since we live in such a big environment, we can only practice a pair of sharp eyes as much as possible, and look for reliable medicinal materials and pharmacies. Most of the traditional Chinese medicines are safe from the same source, and a small part of them are toxic. Just use the amount.
As for the third point, after several visits to a doctor with Chinese medicine, as long as the symptom is right, the effect will definitely not be slow, and it can be said to be immediate. But the treatment method is really complicated. When my Chinese medicine friend sees a doctor, he has to look at the tongue coating, ask about symptoms every day, and adjust the dosage of medicinal materials according to the daily situation. This is difficult for ordinary families and hospitals to do. As for moxibustion, massage, foot soaking and many other methods, professional tools and a lot of time and effort are required. For example, massage may take hundreds or even thousands of times. All of the above have caused Chinese medicine to be unable to advance, because it is really impossible to catch up with the modern fast-paced life. .
In my opinion, any kind of academic existence and enduring, there must be a reason for its existence, not to mention the traditional Chinese medicine culture that has been passed down for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, for different diseases, have their own areas of relative expertise. The existence of the two is not to compete, but to solve problems, cure diseases and save lives.
It’s just that I think that compared with adults, children are less polluted by the external environment, the food they eat is relatively simple, and their emotional impact is relatively small, so the disease is not as complicated as that of adults, and it is more suitable to use some relatively Safe and less harmful methods, such as massage, moxibustion, scraping, etc., as long as we do more, learn more, and pay more attention, hard work will always pay off. There is nothing more joyful than watching a child recover day by day.
Still the same sentence: the road is long and long, I will search up and down...
