ABOUT THE CHINESE
TRADITIONAL MEDICINE
The Chinese
Traditional Medicine,known as the natural treatment medicine, considers a man's body as a part of the whole universe.So any
changes of the universe system may cause the man's diseases.Excepting the astronomical terminal influence on the man's body,there
are six infiltrations
that damage the man's health from outside. The six infiltrations are:
Wind,Cold,Summer-Heat,Dryness,Wetness and Hotness. And besides,there are seven
modes of emotion which damage the man's health from inside. The seven
modes of emotion are :Overjoying, Anger,Sadness,Fear,Grief,Unceaced-Thinking and
Worrying.
According to The Chinese
Traditional Medicine, not only the blood supplies nutrition for the body, but
also another kind of material takes more important effect in such work,the very
important material is a kind of Energy-Flow(In Chinese it's called
Qi).
Just like the blood flows in the vessels, the Energy-Flow flows in
twenty special accesses(The accesses are named Meridians,including 12
common Meridians and 8 extra Meridians). If any of the
Energy-Flow accesses(Meridians) are blocked, or the Energy-Flow(Qi) is
weakened,there must be a cause of diseases.
Four
diagnostic methods are used in The Chinese Traditional Medicine: Inspection,a
method of observing the sick's mental state,facial
expression,tongue-coating,complexion,etc; Listening, a method of examining the
sick's voice,tone and fluency in speaking; Inqiring, a method of diagnosing
illness by asking about its cause,history,and current state; Pulse-Judgement, a
method of judging various diseases by finger-feeling the 28 modes of
pulse.
The
medicinal Sinoherb,comprising hundreds of kinds, may perform various functions
to the human's body,such as Warm,Cool,Restoring Energy-Flow(Qi),Tonifying
Blood,etc.
The
Chinese Traditional Medicine used to differentiat various diseases by using the
above four diagnostic methods,and thus gives the patient proper treatments
and medicinal herbs.
