Chapter 817 Chen Yang's Popular Science (Part )
"Dr. Chen Yang is one of the candidates for the top ten outstanding young doctors in our province..."
The host smiled and looked at the audience kindly: "Dr. Chen Yang is one of the candidates for the top ten outstanding young doctors in our province. He has profound attainments in the field of traditional Chinese medicine at a young age and has saved countless patients with his superb medical skills."
"Many viewers may be familiar with Dr. Chen. In the car accident at Impression Mall last year, Dr. Chen led the medical team and saved many injured people. This year's Lantern Festival..."
The host first talked about a lot of Chen Yang's deeds, and then said with a smile: "Today, let us enter the world of traditional Chinese medicine and listen to Dr. Chen's wonderful words and prescriptions.
The lights at the scene shone softly on Chen Yang. Today, Chen Yang was wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt. He sat upright, with a calm yet friendly temperament.
Facing the camera, Chen Yang nodded slightly with a warm smile: "Hello everyone, I am honored to be here at "Medical Talk". I hope to talk to you about the interesting and practical knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine today."
"Doctor Chen, when it comes to traditional Chinese medicine, many people first think of the bitter taste of Chinese medicine and the complex meridians and acupoints. They feel that traditional Chinese medicine is mysterious and difficult to understand. Can you first tell us how traditional Chinese medicine treats diseases?" The host asked the first question.
Chen Yang nodded gently with a gentle smile on his face: "In fact, Chinese medicine is like a detective solving a case. We collect clues through four methods: observation, smell, questioning, and palpation. Observation is to observe the patient's complexion, tongue coating, and mental state; smell is not only about smelling, but also about listening to sounds; questioning involves asking the patient about symptoms, diet, sleep, etc. in detail; and palpation is a unique diagnostic method of Chinese medicine. Through these clues, we can determine what is wrong with the patient's body, just like a detective finding the key to a case."
As he spoke, Chen Yang took out a tongue coating model, pointed to the tongue coatings of different colors and shapes on it and explained: "For example, a normal tongue coating is a light red tongue with a thin white coating. If the tongue coating is yellow, it may be due to heat in the body; if the tongue coating is white and thick, it is often due to cold and dampness in the body. Previously, there was a patient who always felt weak all over and had abdominal distension. I saw that his tongue coating was white and greasy, and then I asked him that he liked to eat raw and cold food. Combined with the pulse, I judged that he had a weak spleen and stomach and heavy dampness. I prescribed a prescription for warming the spleen and removing dampness. After taking a few doses of medicine, he felt much better."
"Doctor Chen, what is the 'getting angry' often mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine? Many people say they are getting angry when they have mouth ulcers or swollen and painful gums, and then they take some medicine to reduce the fire. Is this right?" the host asked with a smile.
“This is a very common misconception.”
Chen Yang smiled and said, "In Chinese medicine, 'fire' can be divided into real fire and false fire. Real fire is like dry wood and raging fire, it comes on fiercely, and patients often have red faces and eyes, dry stools, and yellow and red urine. In this case, some heat-clearing and fire-purging drugs can be used appropriately. But false fire is like a slow fire. For example, some people often experience dry mouth and throat, insomnia and dreaminess after staying up late. This is a false fire caused by yin deficiency. If you still use heat-clearing drugs, it will hurt the body's positive energy."
"Just like the chrysanthemum tea that everyone likes to drink, it has the effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight, and dispersing wind-heat, which is suitable for red and swollen eyes caused by real fire. And wolfberry can nourish the liver and kidneys. For people with yin deficiency, you can use wolfberry to soak in water to nourish yin and reduce fire. However, how to use it specifically still depends on your personal constitution..."
"Doctor Chen, many young people nowadays are under great work pressure and often stay up late, which causes their bodies to be in a sub-healthy state. Does traditional Chinese medicine have any good methods for regulating sub-health?" the host asked again.
"In traditional Chinese medicine, sub-health means that the body's yin and yang are out of balance and qi and blood are not flowing smoothly. Traditional Chinese medicine has many tricks to treat sub-health. The first is to have a regular daily routine, try not to stay up late, go to bed before 11 pm, and follow the laws of nature. The second is diet adjustment. For example, after staying up late, you can drink a bowl of millet and yam porridge. Millet can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and yam can nourish qi and yin."
Chen Yang said: "In fact, there is no such thing as sub-health in traditional Chinese medicine. Any discomfort in the human body is a warning from the body to us, or a health alarm. When the balance of yin and yang is broken, the body will experience various discomforts. In traditional Chinese medicine, sub-health is actually a pathological state."
"Doctor Chen, many people have misunderstandings about traditional Chinese medicine. They think that the Yin-Yang and Five Elements are backward and feudal, and that traditional Chinese medicine cannot be considered scientific medicine. What do you think about this?" the host asked again.
“Yin Yang and the Five Elements are actually the greatest wisdom of our ancestors, and they are also the most scientific aspects of Chinese medicine.”
Chen Yang said: "A lot of the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine is hidden in the details of life. Just like what our ancestors said, 'Yin and Yang are the way of heaven and earth', our perspective on problems has been romanticized by Eastern philosophy from the very beginning."
\"When it comes to the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, many friends find it obscure and difficult to understand.\"
Chen Yang pointed to the background screen, and a yin-yang fish pattern emerged in the dynamic ink special effects: "But think about it, daytime is yang, night is yin; spring and summer are yang, autumn and winter are yin. The human body is the same, the five internal organs are yin, and the six bowels are yang. Last time, there was a programmer who always had stomachache at three in the morning. I saw that his tongue coating was thin and his pulse was weak. Combined with his lifestyle of staying up late and consuming yin, I knew it was 'yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity' - it's like a mobile phone with only 5% battery left, but it is still running large games crazily. "
\"Yin Yang and the Five Elements are not metaphysics. Wood corresponds to the liver, just like the trees sprouting in spring, which is responsible for the release of qi; fire corresponds to the heart, symbolizing the warm sunshine, which is responsible for the blood vessels; earth corresponds to the spleen and stomach, which is the earth that nurtures all things, which is responsible for transportation and transformation...\"
Chen Yang smiled and said: "It's like someone is depressed, can't eat, and has teeth marks on the tongue. This is a typical case of 'wood overcoming earth' - liver qi stagnation affects the spleen and stomach function......"
"Our ancestors used the properties of yin and yang and the five elements to summarize the human body and to compare the five internal organs. This is actually the greatest science."
\"Just like what I said just now, real fire and false fire are essentially different manifestations of imbalance between yin and yang. Real fire is yang excess, just like the water in the pot has boiled dry and you need to add cold water; false fire is yin deficiency, just like an oil lamp has run out of oil and needs to be replenished. This chrysanthemum can clear real fire, but if it is false fire caused by dry throat and dry mouth after staying up late, using wolfberry and ophiopogon japonicus is the right remedy, that's the reason. \"
"Traditional Chinese medicine is the experience summed up by our ancestors in long-term life and practice..."
Chen Yang explained patiently: "Just like the blooming of flowers in spring, the changing of seasons, the alternation of day and night... these are the most scientific laws of nature, and Chinese medicine applies this law..."
