The World Health Organization refers to the state in which the body has no organic lesions but has some functional changes as the “third state”, which in our country is called the “subhealthy state”. Thus, sub-health refers to the following conditions: 1. Functional changes, rather than organic lesions. 2. 2. Changes in physical signs, but the existing medical technology can not detect pathological changes. 3, Poor quality of life, long-term low health level. 4, Unhealthy signs outside the site of lesions accompanying chronic diseases. There is uncertainty as to whether subhealth develops into serious organic lesions. However, subhealth itself is a problem that needs to be solved. According to the survey, patients in the state of subhealth are mostly between the ages of 18 and 45, of which urban white-collar workers, especially women, account for the majority. This age group of people because of the face of college entrance exams, business entertainment, business operations, interpersonal communication, job competition and other social activities, long-term in a tense environment pressure, if you can not scientifically self-adjustment and self-protection, it is easy to enter the state of sub-health. 1, are you in a state of sub-health? There are no clear medical indicators to diagnose sub-health, so it is easy to be ignored by people. Generally speaking, if you do not have any obvious symptoms, but long time in one or more of the following states, pay attention to the subhealth has issued an alarm to you: insomnia, fatigue, memory loss, lack of energy, no appetite, fatigue, palpitations, poor resistance, irritability, frequent colds or mouth ulcers, constipation, neck, shoulder, waist and back pain, heavy and stiff, and so on. In layman’s terms, it means that you always feel “unhappy”. The above “unpleasant” is the human body vitality, responsiveness or social adaptability decline in performance. 2, leading to sub-health factors: (1) dietary irrationality. When the body intake of excessive calories or poor nutrition, can lead to body disorders. Excessive smoking, alcoholism. (2) insufficient rest, especially sleep. Irregularity of living and working has become a common phenomenon. For teenagers, due to movies, television, Internet, games, dancing, playing cards, mahjong and other entertainment, as well as preparation for exams driving at night, and so on, often disrupting the regularity of life. Adults sometimes also affect their rest due to entertainment (such as playing cards, mahjong), and caring for patients. (3) Excessive tension and pressure. Especially IT white-collar people, insufficient physical exercise, physical exhaustion. (4) Long-term adverse emotional impact. (5) environmental factors, in the air-conditioned room, relatively closed space. 3, sub-health first self-regulation: (1) adjust the psychological state and maintain a positive, optimistic; a wide range of hobbies and interests, will benefit people, not only can be cultivated, but also to assist in the treatment of some psychological diseases. Treat pressure well, see pressure as an inseparable part of life, learn to moderate stress, to ensure health, good state of mind. (2) Timely adjustment of life rules, work and rest, to ensure adequate sleep; moderate work and rest is the mother of health, the normal functioning of the biological clock is a guarantee of health, and the biological clock “wrong point” is the beginning of sub-health. (3) Increase outdoor physical exercise activities and ensure a certain amount of exercise every day; modern people are keen on urban life and busy with their careers, so they have less and less time for physical exercise. Strengthening self-exercise can improve the body’s resistance to disease. (4) Quit smoking and limit alcohol: medical evidence, smoking, human blood vessels are prone to spasms, local organs, blood supply is reduced, nutrients and oxygen supply is reduced, especially the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract does not get oxygen and nutrient supply, the ability to resist disease is also reduced.

A reasonable mix of fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. If there is no significant improvement through their own active regulation and they are still in a state of upset, they should seek treatment. How to treat it, the best way to seek Chinese medicine to treat, Chinese medicine theory that a healthy person should be a balanced and coordinated organism, “Su Wen? Anger through the sky” has the text: “Yin and Yang secret, the spirit is healed. Yin and yang away from the decision, the essence is extinct.” Here the “flat” and “secret” refers to the balance, the yin and yang as the program pointed out that balance is the root of physical and mental health. From the viewpoint of Chinese medicine, sub-health has evidence to be identified, and there are etiology and pathogenesis to be investigated, it is “sick”, which is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang, and thus there are corresponding rules and treatments to intervene. In the face of sub-health, there is such a clear understanding of the difference between Chinese and Western medicine, mainly attributed to Western medicine only look at the disease, through your laboratory results, test results, that you have a problem in a certain part, if there is no abnormality in the examination, it is considered that your body is healthy. Chinese medicine, on the other hand, looks at the patient, the organism, the whole. It must be known that the state of sub-health is dynamic, can be transformed into a disease, but also towards the return of health, the key is to give effective medical intervention at the right time. 4, acupuncture treatment of sub-health Chinese medicine in the unity of mankind, under the guidance of the concept of holism, through the analysis of the body’s yin and yang deficiency, to the sub-healthy person to individualized intervention, or fill the deficiency or diarrhea, or warming or nourishing yin and yang, so that it returns to the secret of yin and yang to the healthy state of return. It is for this reason that traditional Chinese medicine cream has been around for thousands of years and has not failed. Especially in winter, winter tonic, began to consume cream, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and other non-pharmaceutical methods can also be effective for sub-healthy people to fill the deficiency and diarrhea of the intervention. Acupuncture and moxibustion have the functions of supporting the right and dispelling the wrong, dredging the meridians and coordinating yin and yang. Its most basic function is regulation, treating disease by adjusting the body’s imbalanced functions. Although no drugs, but through the mobilization of the body’s own potential, acupuncture, moxibustion points can be induced in the body of the process of drug-like properties, both to correct the abnormal function, but will not interfere with the normal body functions, so for the intervention of sub-health, to correct the physical and mental dysfunction, is the advantage of acupuncture, it is in the regulation of function in this link, play a more physiological law than drugs. Acupuncture adjustment of sub-health has its obvious advantages, safety and effectiveness, is any other kind of method is incomparable.
