Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

Qu Li Min: Hello everybody, this time we do talk about the subject, that is: from head to toe, then health. So now talking about the topic before this, let's first talk about, that is, the question why people get sick. In ancient history, is Inside story of the medicine and it was related to a topic, that is, why people do get sick, doctors and has spoken: the reason people get sick it is that three aspects: one is the ghost disease.

NARRATOR: What is a ghost disease?

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: in fact it refers to, meaning that the concept is not ghosts. It refers, somewhat similar to what, a bit like cause and effect. That has been mentioned I had a problem, that is, what kind of life you have status, you will have, what you will get the disease. Then there is a disease that is eating what some of our disease is the result of eating the food some of the diseases caused by improper.

NARRATOR: In medicine and in the story, also described a third patient, that is: insanity disease, dissolute confusion that is caused chaos Syndrome. Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

Qu Li Min: too close to and woman as derived from a disease. Then this disease it, in traditional cultures, that is with lust related.

NARRATOR: So in the Chinese classic

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: Purest yang mean what is it, that is wind and rain cold and heat, that is, referring to the natural climate can also cause, that is, people's diseases. Then in the to the spring, there will certainly be febrile disease, like a spring epidemic ah, this similar.

NARRATOR:

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: This is exogenous, that is, the natural world had made the disease. We like the disease it is, if we keep good, we can be avoided; if care is not good, then the disease will naturally find you. Another it is from those who have in the overcast. Yin who was in it, it mentioned that we got inside the food, residence, and yin and yang, likes and dislikes. Like diet, in So what is it called authentic, that is, according to moral courage to go. As we have to eat to eat in accordance with the laws of solar terms, eating seasonal foods, such is the most reasonable. Then as now we are in winter, and now we have to eat watermelon, ah, like this does, in traditional cultures to believe that this method is not authentic.

NARRATOR: disease.

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: This is the so-called diet tunnel. So the question then as the Home Office, Home Office is the Law of Heaven, that is, you should get up at dawn, after dark you should sleep. This is called the Home Office Law of Heaven, is the following seasons ah yin and yang, day and night is cold and heat, so to go.

NARRATOR: The ancients divided into twelve hour day, every sunrise and sunset, is the world follow the law of nature.

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: Then there is one it, it is to say, that is called yin and yang, joy, anger, emotions that will cause you some of your disease. Such as joy, anger, joy, anger, yin and yang, the change means that if your emotions too much, then, can also cause your disease. Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

Qu Li Min: So here we to relate to a topic ah, that is, the world has to make a point, that is basically an animal under the sun can live to their Tianshou, Tianshou is the so-called living life to its natural limits. Such as horses, that it is this natural life is how to calculate the limit of it, that is, the growth period of all animals, and it's that, multiply it by five to seven times on it. So, like horses, it's, like, and that the growing season is six horses, and then multiplied by the growth phase it, so basically it can limit the maximum life you can live to three or four years old. So from this perspective, it, man's natural life should be limited to how much, people should limit the natural life, the human growth period should be two decades or so, then multiplied by five to seven times, then, should be, that is, a hundred hundred six seventy such.

NARRATOR: But most people live to see the limits of natural life, this is why?

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: There are several main reasons for ah: the first, in fact, the greatest of all human change, people are standing on two legs, and a thinking animal. Yeah that's upright, the spine can cause the kind of person the load is too large. This happen, it makes the brain vulnerable to upright posture to ischemia, hypoxia. So, this then leads to human so far, cardiovascular diseases, particularly for a reason. So in terms of it from the second point, that is, uh, animals do, we find that ah, animals which have a fixed rut, people do, is more specific characteristics, that is, people are never fixed estrus . So from a medical point of view, what it believes, in its view is, ah, like sexual intercourse, the consumption of these things is actually on the yang is the largest. Is why we must pay attention to traditional medicine, the issue of abstinence, in fact, it is closely related with the.

NARRATOR: Professor Qu Li Min, leading to the natural life of people living less than a third reason is limited to people of emotional problems.

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: In this respect it, Chinese medicine, has been involved in many things, such as that which involves a problem of the seven emotions. It is, like hi is sad too, had fear of the injured kidney, the liver injury through anger.

NARRATOR:

Beijing TCM University Qu Li Min: Moreover it, people also characterized person life, often want some useless, which will also our body damage. In Chinese medicine, how to say this, um, traditional Chinese medicine in its view, this is called dark consumption of kidney essence. Say, like the Ming consumption of kidney essence, such as sex, ah, fall out consumption, but it tired, you naturally know to rest, but if your mind endlessly to think, uh, useless things, this also, will damage your kidney essence, and even consumption of even more severe than the next. So this is the desire, emotions will also shorten the life span of our body a reason ah.

NARRATOR: On the emotional disease, Qu Professor Li Min completely in TCM TV Guide In addition, the digestive function of the decline is limited to people living less than a natural life is an important reason.

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese medicine is that this is the postnatal spleen and stomach. That is, as people, can damage the spleen and stomach is absolutely do. If we feel that the process of medication and stomach, that is if you some medicine and then, unable to eat anything, then it, or is caused by a very severe stomach pain, that it, in the perspective of traditional medicine are not appropriate.

NARRATOR: Chinese say: Then the stomach should be how to protect it, For more information, please watch the full TCM TV Guide

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: The fifth point, that is, the circulation of people, great changes have occurred. For example, the original ah, that is, animals which are based on the four seasons to change their, say, the problem then by increasing the fat to increase, that is, to resist cold, to resist cold pathogen. But, um it, people do now increasingly live in a increasingly that a comfortable environment, so we microcirculation system is slowly slowly, that is resist ability is increasingly worse. The changes in the circulatory system it is also causing some of our, that is, the decline in immunity.

NARRATOR: Life limits caused by people living less than a sixth reason is that changes in breathing patterns.

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: the original animals are tummy this situation, so it basically takes a called abdominal breathing. Then talk about what human beings, who were in the womb is only used in abdominal breathing. That is, his birth is actually a very dangerous act, that is, when you come out from the womb of that moment, you immediately change their breathing patterns, that will be turned on from the abdominal breathing Yes the lungs breathing, so that it can also cause the body some of the problems, so what this does in traditional Chinese medicine which, even among the Taoist medicine, it, all of the health of its truth, in fact, all because of the human body front we speak these problems example, uh, like Taoist medical inside, like that Daoyin problem is changing people upright human harm problems. The fetal breathing method as it is to change the person's respiratory system, this, who caused that damage to the human problems of these consequences. So, in all aspects of traditional medicine it from trying, is to change, is how to promote the human body, is that this cycle to a more positive development of this kind, in the play such a role.

and modern it, we live more comfortable and it does not seem to be able to make our students, uh, body gets stronger.

then this, previously we are told,

NARRATOR: By the Eastern Han Dynasty, was later known as the , the book

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: The And then, second, that is caused by the body meridians unreasonable ah limbs Jiuqiao blood is said that, ah, will cause unreasonable congestion, so that it can also cause significant human disease; and then a third party is external, like intercourse ah, gold edge ah, that is, for example wounds ah, these insects injured animals. So what,

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: Modern is how we think, is what people get sick because of it? So modern it, basically it refers to the six evils said. The so-called obscene words, ah, which in traditional Chinese culture, it is a nothing more than to talk over the issue. For example, inside the six evils, the first prostitution to include a pestilence. Pestilence that is, we are talking about the original The second point then it is impassioned about the issue, that is, the passion we have said the problems, emotional problems will cause damage to the human body. Then third point it, it talking about diet, labor Yat, that diet improper, like modern life we often occur overeating problems ah, which is leading modern disorders a very important reason It also talk to a question, that is, work and rest, that is, fatigue will cause damage to the human body, so it had Yat, for example, over a life of ease,

NARRATOR: look at how Chinese medicine is too easy for?

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: In the traditional culture and, including modern medicine, it can be to discuss, and demonstrate a problem ah. That is our modern disease, particularly modern disease, in fact, the word is related with the Plaza, the so-called Plaza of what the words mean? Now, our diet is very good, that is, we eat things that are very, very high nutritional value, do something like this,UGG boots cheap, I do not dissipate their own, then why would I do vitality damage? So this is precisely the traditional culture inside a very important point, that is, say, you are as long as they do not exercise, then, will be loss of strength, because you eat these things Yeah, like the spleen and stomach, when the consumption of which later, It is basically the first part, it is the best nutrition to make heart and lung, and then do the second part of it, it has to, it is necessary to supplement them into the muscle, muscle Cou reason which, so if you are always do not exercise, then this skin Cou open vent to weaken it, this will cause the skin Cou inside it, or cause the meridians are not open.

NARRATOR: Chinese medicine, over-easy easy to make the spleen and stomach function, and this will be the formation of moisture in the body.

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: the formation of moisture Yeah, the formation of the wet delay, so it will be more of a vital energy to tune up of it. So is the over-easy, in fact, can also cause disease.

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: What does the fourth point, it considered to be traumatic; there it is a traditional Chinese medicine are two very special words inside, called phlegm, that is, the fifth is the phlegm the so-called sputum what is it?

NARRATOR: Chinese medicine, fire fish, meat and phlegm. Sputum is the so-called condensation of moisture, easy to cause blockage in the body, so that blood to transport and poor.

Qu Li Min Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: You're always not to transport and then, it will cause as thrombosis ah, that is, do not open this case, the meridians, blood viscosity, ah, these things; then drink what is ? Drink is water to drink, that is not vented out, and then, for example, in our body which can cause swelling, or who will appear as puffiness spleen ah these, in fact, will cause great damage to the human body. The sixth point, that is bleeding. Stasis it is, uh, like now, if the depth of the step, that is, ah such as cancer, should belong to the level of blood stasis. So that light of it, that is, if you are bleeding inside the body of this if it can not afford to, will cause many, many of the lesions. So this is the tradition, that is, from traditional to modern, has been the awareness about this disease ah. Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

NARRATOR: . Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

Qu Li Min: Well, as it is now more emphasis on women breast, uterine fibroids or problem, then from the Chinese point of view, that is, if you are this woman ah, that is, often go rather comfortable situation, and if you are old gas obstruct the above, then it may cause, that is, breast problems. Have breast problems such as people do, largely from the character speaking, is biased towards the violent, biased, that is, a great temperament, uh, that is, who hid fire Crackdown counseling situation in 1821, for example, her side Some depressed, then it has never been unable to pronounce the fire to do this, then it is likely to take the fibroids. Is go out into the downstream gas, and then the condensation is possible in that the formation of stagnant inside the uterus, so that it will cause harm to the human body, that is, what modern life, a very important point, that is, if you love go rather then words, it may cause serious illness.
