Chapter 134 All Diseases Share the Same Origin: Strengthening the Foundation and Regulating the Body
I. Various ailments disturb one's health
The warm sunshine bathed the entire traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and the grass and trees in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze.
A middle-aged woman walked slowly into the consultation hall, her brows furrowed with weariness.
"Dr. Chen, lately I've been feeling unwell in many parts of my body, and I'm suffering from various ailments every day."
Chen Shanhe sat upright at the consultation table, his gaze calm and indifferent as he looked at the person who had come to him.
"You often feel anxious and unable to sleep at night, and your lower back and knees are frequently sore and weak, right?"
The woman gently pursed her lips, nodding repeatedly with a look of utter helplessness.
"In addition, the spleen and stomach are weak, the appetite is tasteless, and the body and mind are tired and listless all day long."
Zhou Deshan stood quietly to one side, his gaze calm and carefully observing the patient's expression.
"It is extremely rare for a person to have several completely different illnesses at the same time."
Xu Jingming glanced sideways, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Insomnia, bone pain, and spleen and stomach deficiency—three seemingly unrelated ailments—why are they all afflicting me at the same time?"
A panoramic aerial view of the entire city's streets, alleys, and houses slowly unfolds.
In the mundane world, many people suffer from more than one ailment.
Normally, people tend to view their physical suffering in their own way.
People often mistakenly believe that palpitations, back pain, and weak stomach are completely independent chronic diseases.
When a doctor or traditional healer is treating a patient, he will prescribe the medicine separately and one by one.
Prescribing a single prescription for a single ailment can be cumbersome and chaotic, ultimately depleting one's vital energy.
They don't understand how to delve into the underlying causes within the body.
All we can do is suppress the symptoms that are just starting to appear, day after day.
Over the years, the haphazard consumption of various herbal remedies for tonification has led to further stagnation and decline in qi and blood.
A variety of trivial ailments can linger and persist for a long time, making them difficult to get rid of.
Poems as proof:
Plagued by numerous ailments, the years have passed bitterly.
A variety of symptoms obscure the root cause.
Traditional doctors dissect and search for prescriptions.
Unbeknownst to them, their vital energy had already been depleted.
II. In-depth pulse diagnosis to investigate the root cause of hidden diseases
Chen Shanhe raised his hand and placed the pulse pillow flat, his demeanor calm and composed, and reached out to take the woman's pulse.
"You are usually full of worries and anxieties, and often feel depressed and melancholy."
The woman's eyes widened slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"How could the doctor understand my inner turmoil without asking about my daily life in detail?"
"The pulse is deep, slow, and sluggish, indicating that the flow of qi and blood is obstructed everywhere," Chen Shanhe said softly.
"All the external, scattered, and different ailments are all born from one whole."
Xu Jingming leaned forward slightly, looking bewildered and waiting earnestly for the explanation.
"Since each ailment presents differently, how can their underlying pathology originate from the same place?"
Zhou Deshan frowned slightly, a few thoughts slowly forming in his mind.
"Could it be that all these seemingly different ailments ultimately stem from a deficiency of Qi and blood?"
Chen Shanhe slowly withdrew his hand from taking the pulse, his expression becoming increasingly solemn and dignified.
"Your thoughts and ideas are exactly what you need to know, which is another profound dialectical principle of traditional Chinese medicine."
The circulation of Yin and Yang in the human body relies entirely on the Qi and blood throughout the body as its foundation.
If one's vital energy is gradually depleted, the flow of blood will slowly become blocked and stagnant.
From top to bottom, internal organs, muscles and bones will develop problems one after another.
A lack of nourishment to the mind and spirit can lead to sleepless nights and palpitations.
Poor circulation of Qi and blood in the meridians can cause soreness and dull pain in the lower back and legs.
When the body's vital energy is insufficient, the spleen and stomach will naturally become weak in their ability to process and transform nutrients.
Three seemingly unrelated symptoms appeared in succession.
Ultimately, it is all caused by a deficiency of vital energy and stagnation of blood circulation.
Poems as proof:
The pulse reveals its nature, whether it is weak or strong, or superficial or deep.
Stagnation of Qi and blood leads to the invasion of a hundred diseases.
Although their appearances are all different
They share a common heart and soul.
III. Treating Different Diseases with the Same Method Elucidates Medical Principles
Chen Shanhe looked at his two disciples and explained in a gentle and soothing tone.
"Yesterday I analyzed the different treatments for the same disease; today I will explain the same treatment for different diseases."
Xu Jingming's eyes suddenly brightened, and he listened attentively to the teachings with utmost concentration.
"I have always wanted to understand its profound meaning, and today I have finally been able to comprehend it in detail."
Zhou Deshan was respectful and humble, quietly bowing and contemplating the principles of medicine.
"Most doctors in the world know that the same disease can be treated with different methods, but very few can see through the fact that different diseases share the same origin."
"The symptoms that can be seen with the naked eye can vary greatly," Chen Shanhe said slowly.
"Some people suffer from bone diseases, some are depressed, and some have damaged spleen and stomach."
"The patients suffer from different things, and the timing and severity of the illness also vary."
"As long as we delve into the origins of the body, the underlying mechanisms of qi and blood deficiency and stagnation are exactly the same."
Therefore, there is no need to prescribe a variety of complicated herbal remedies.
The core principle of the treatment is to strengthen the body's foundation, nourish vital energy, and unblock blood vessels.
Distinguish between primary and secondary factors and coordinate the body's yin and yang meridians in a comprehensive manner.
Without the need for multiple medications and haphazard tonics, it can actually stabilize the body's internal organs.
This is a perspective that many veteran traditional Chinese medicine practitioners never gain in their entire lives.
Treating only the symptoms, not the root cause, demonstrates a superficial and narrow approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Simply piling up numerous medicinal herbs to treat illness will only continuously deplete the patient's vital energy.
While it may seem to treat a wide range of ailments, it never truly cures the root cause of any disease.
Poems as proof:
Different diseases share the same origin and root.
There's no need to search far and wide for treasures.
Comprehensively strengthen the foundation and unblock the meridians.
That is the true wonder of the medical profession.
IV. Strengthening the foundation and harmonizing the whole body
Just as the three of them were discussing medical principles, a graceful figure slowly stepped into the courtyard.
Murong Fangxiang walked with light steps and a composed expression, standing quietly to one side of the hall, observing silently.
A faint smile played on her lips as she looked sincerely at Chen Shanhe.
"I came to the clinic today for a visit and happened to hear some unique insights into practicing medicine."
Chen Shanhe turned his head slightly and responded calmly and indifferently.
"The mysteries of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis are deeply hidden, and I will take this opportunity to guide my two disciples."
Murong Fangxiang's eyes were clear, and she admired his insightful perspective even more.
Doctors from ordinary rural backgrounds cannot reach such a level of vision and perspective.
Xu Jingming carefully noted down the entire new dialectical approach and gained a great deal of insight.
In the future, when I encounter patients suffering from multiple ailments, I will no longer blindly administer treatment.
Zhou Deshan silently memorized the matching Chinese herbal medicine formulas and internal and external conditioning techniques.
This formula mainly contains astragalus, angelica, codonopsis, turmeric, angelica pubescens, and roasted malt.
The entire prescription takes into account replenishing qi and strengthening the body's foundation, promoting blood circulation and unblocking the meridians, calming the mind and strengthening the spleen and stomach.
One prescription can address all the scattered ailments, providing holistic internal and external conditioning.
Gentle massage of the body's meridians and blocked points helps the medicine penetrate.
No need for multiple prescriptions or unnecessary medicinal materials; the simplified formula is just right.
Aerial photography captures the entire clinic courtyard landscape in a slow, sweeping view.
Chen Shanhe proceeded step by step, gradually integrating the principles of Yin and Yang from the I Ching into dialectics.
In the future, I will combine military strategy and medical principles to weigh the progression and regression of the disease.
By observing stillness and movement, one can discern the strength of pathogenic factors and calmly resolve various chronic illnesses through offense and defense.
Murong Fangxiang silently observed everything, knowing in her heart that this person's future was immeasurable.
With a calm demeanor and exceptional medical skills, he will eventually establish himself firmly and make a name for himself in the provincial capital's medical community.
Poems as proof:
One side is in harmony to nourish the spirit.
Simplified herbs to help people cross over into the mortal world.
Seeing through all kinds of suffering,
The gentle breeze does not fail those who practice medicine.
