Story: The treatment of liver disease is a slow process, but it is also a cause for the doctors and patients to build together. As the saying goes, “three parts treatment and seven parts nourishment”, “the best doctor is himself”, if patients do not give their own strength, the doctor can not cure the disease. The director of the liver disease department of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chi Xiaoling, reminds patients of how to eat and drink and how to rest, and how to recover if they do well. They have reported in the discipline seminar, in the hospital to receive Chinese and Western medicine co-medication of patients with a particularly low rate of viral mutation, some experts asked: is your patients are particularly good compliance? That’s really what happened, and Chi was awakened. Their patients are especially willing to listen to their doctors’ instructions. Some of the people who visit Chi’s number ask about health and wellness instead of liver and spleen, and some find reasons to wait for their turn to hear more medical advice. There is a frequent fever, sore throat of the old patient, what anti-inflammatory drugs do not work, Chi Xiaoling told him to come to the hospital once every two weeks, almost a seasonal period, Chi Xiaoling often follow the seasonal changes to talk about some precautions, nothing more than diet, regular living, not delusional labor, but also from time to time to support the little tricks, such as knocking on the teeth, swallowing Jin la. Long years adhere to the Sai medicine, recently the old patient told Chi Xiaoling joyfully, this year no fever, mom also do not cough, dad also do not get angry, because the family did what Chi Xiaoling said to do. This is the health care. There are some misconceptions when it comes to health, especially after the good scriptures have been recited by some crooked-tongued monks. In fact, health care is a way of life with the characteristics of Chinese medicine, although it does not guarantee that all diseases are not invasive, but can make people live a healthier and more comfortable. The Inner Classic says: “Instead of saving treatment after a disease, if not regimen in the first without disease.” Unfortunately, many people have to hit the wall before they really take it seriously, and some people regret it too late. Conversation: the time is healthy, against the time is sick Yangcheng Evening News: each season’s health care methods are different, because of what reason? Chi Xiaoling: the relationship between climate, physical and disease has always been an important research topic in Chinese medicine health. Traditional medicine believes that people are born in accordance with the law of heaven and earth, in accordance with the four seasons, is a product of heaven and earth, if you can adapt to climate change and the alternation of yin and yang to adjust diet and living, it is less likely to get sick. The first thing to do is to follow the four seasons, “Spring is born, summer grows, autumn harvests and winter hides, and the gas is also normal, people should also be”, which means that our life should not go against the laws of nature. In the twenty-four seasons of the year, there are several seasons such as summer solstice, winter solstice, spring, winter, etc., the feeling is particularly obvious, the other is more in the unconscious gradual conversion, so the Shunyi health is a little bit of the adjustment process, but also the process of correcting bad habits. Yangcheng Evening News: not adjusted in accordance with the time prone to disease? Chi Xiaoling: the ancients said, “against the spring, the less Yang is not born, liver gas within the change; against the summer gas, the sun does not grow, heart gas within the hole; against the autumn gas, Taiyin does not collect, lung gas anxiety full, against the winter gas, the less Yin does not hide, kidney gas alone sink.” In spring, when everything revives, people should let go of their mood and activities to soothe the liver qi. Summer is the season of growth, the body’s heat to be emitted, should sweat, now many people get air conditioning disease, the hot sun under the open pores, a blowing air conditioning all closed depression, can not be sick? The autumn temperature in the south is still very high, but the weather has changed, the human pores also began to contract, when the activity can increase some. Winter Yang Qi from the outside into the inside, the intestines and stomach to have the strength to digest the thick taste of sorghum, you can eat some thick some fragrant. The internal organs of the body need to adapt to the laws of the four changing seasons, once destroyed, resulting in dysfunction, it is easy to lesions and even deviations. Yangcheng Evening News: the theory of health with the times, and Lingnan’s four seasons are not distinct climate contradiction? Chi Xiaoling: The South and the North are very different in the same season, but the basic laws of nature are the same. In Guangzhou, although it is still very hot after the first day of autumn, the north wind is the season of autumn dryness, so we should eat more dry food and pay attention to keep warm in the morning and evening, otherwise it is easy to have itchy skin, constipated stools and cold. At the same time, Lingnan and there is no strict sense of the four seasons, winter cold often a few days to warm up, but in early spring there are a few days of extreme cold, the four seasons are not correct, belonging to the yin and Yang of heaven and earth misbehavior, the local people get more diseases related to the yin and Yang imbalance, people’s physique on the hot and dry side, the body is easy to “gather fire”, where people often boil soup and porridge, ingredients and herbs are very careful The ingredients and herbs are very careful, and they are used properly for different seasons or body tonic, which is a good recipe for health and disease. Lingnan has its own climate and physical signs, as the saying goes, a side of water and soil to raise a side of people, these habits contain a lot of folk health wisdom. Yangcheng Evening News: Health care is sometimes misunderstood, thinking that it is not credible to seek a long life without illness. Chi Xiaoling: Chinese medicine and health care and “work on the treatment of the disease” is the same thing, “to cure the disease with prescriptions and medicines, rather than the diet to regulate the disease in the future. Health care is not the pursuit of immortality, but the study of the laws of life changes, theories and methods to maintain health and reduce disease. There is no standard for what is meant by good, at least to be able to be mentally sound and energetic, not to be unable to eat or sleep because of the smallest thing. My teacher Fan Zhenglun has an analogy that is very imaginative: life is like a tank of gas, the amount of gas varies, there are reasons for the innate endowment, there are also differences in the use of the acquired, you have to learn to control the valve, slowly adjust the good use, do not easily deplete the Yang Qi. Follow the laws of nature, develop good living habits, timely adjustment of problems, to maintain their best, is to maintain health. (From “Yangcheng Evening News”)
