How does TCM recognize disease? How does TCM diagnose diseases?

Chinese medicine is rooted in the fertile ground of Chinese culture and was formed during the social practice of the Chinese people for thousands of years. It has gradually formed a complete theoretical system by looking for laws in the phenomena of human life activities and “taking images and analogies”. Its ultimate goal is to adjust the equilibrium of the body and to rely on the body’s positive energy to resist the suffering caused by diseases, and it is a unique natural science that explores the substance from the appearance. It is a unique natural science. Chinese medicine understands diseases: based on the theory that things are divided into yin and yang, taking images and analogies, and the concept of the whole. Chinese medicine treats diseases: First of all, the general program for treating diseases is to identify the evidence and treat the symptoms, and to treat the root cause if it is urgent. At the same time: focus on supporting the righteousness, by adjusting the balance of the body’s yin and yang, mobilizing the body’s “positive energy”, and resisting evil out. Therefore, the treatment of diseases in TCM often takes into account both the symptoms and the root cause, which is a holistic concept, unlike modern medicine. Diagnosis of diseases in TCM: Looking, smelling, asking and cutting are the basic means of understanding diseases in TCM, and doctors make judgments on the location and nature of diseases through appearances and based on TCM theories. So, what is the use of modern medical laboratory tests and imaging examinations in the process of Chinese medicine treatment? About three aspects: 1, a certain degree of reaction to the degree of severity of the disease. 2. In some cases, they can be used as objective efficacy indicators of TCM treatment of diseases, because they can be quantified and relatively objective. 3. Modern Chinese medicine pharmacology is trying to explore the mechanism of action of the active ingredients of Chinese medicine, on the premise that the existing research results are scientific and credible and can produce the expected effects on the human body, and the data from these tests can be used as the basis for clinical use of Chinese medicine.
