Traditional Chinese Medicine's Methods of Health Preservation and Anti-Aging

Each of us will age slowly over time, but we can slow down the aging process in various ways to make ourselves look younger. The traditional Chinese medicine health-preserving and anti-aging methods are time-tested methods, and they are very effective for many people. Let us now learn about the traditional Chinese medicine health-preserving and anti-aging methods. I hope this helps you all.

In order to reconcile the human body's yin and yang, qi and blood, cold and heat, deficiency and excess, and keep them in relative balance and coordination, some medicines are often used with various tonic methods to prevent disease and anti-aging, thus achieving the health-preserving goal of "yin and yang are balanced, and the spirit is cured" as described by ancient medical scientists.

China has had records of aging for a long time, but the first Chinese medical work, "Huangdi Neijing", was the one that systematically discussed aging from a theoretical perspective. In the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the fundamental substance that determines the human body's growth, prosperity, reproduction and aging is called Tiangui, which means the life substance given to the human body by God. Tiangui exists in the human body in the form of kidney essence or kidney qi. The rhythm of men is eight, and that of women is seven. As the menstruation gradually declines, people also gradually age. For example, when a man is 16 years old, his kidney qi is abundant and he has the ability to reproduce; when he is 48 years old, his kidney qi is declining and he shows signs of aging; when he is 64 years old, his kidney qi is exhausted and he becomes old and frail. The corresponding times for women are 14, 42 and 49 years old.

With the development of society, Chinese medicine's understanding of aging has been constantly updated. After the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", the concept of human aging such as insufficient qi and blood, lack of spirit, and stagnation of meridians was developed. In recent years, modern Chinese medicine scholars have summarized the experience of the ancients, combined with clinical observations of patients and experimental research, and proposed the theory of kidney deficiency and blood stasis in aging, that is, human aging is mainly caused by kidney deficiency and blood stasis in the meridians, and other abnormalities are caused by the development of kidney deficiency and blood stasis.

Combining various TCM concepts on aging, Professor He Ren proposed a new viewpoint on anti-aging in TCM: one should cultivate oneself spiritually, balance yin and yang in the body, adapt to the laws of nature in life, be moderate in diet, have regular exercise and rest, and not be overly tired. In this way, the spirit and body will be healthy, and one will be able to "live out one's natural life and die at the age of one hundred." At the same time, he also recommended six commonly used Chinese medicine anti-aging prescriptions, which can delay aging by harmonizing the body's qi and blood and supplementing kidney yang.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a relatively scientific, reasonable and effective method for health preservation and anti-aging. In order to make themselves look younger, many women often use some skin care products, which is fine. However, when buying skin care products, it is best to buy more regular skin care products. It is best to go to some regular brand stores.
