Based on oriental philosophy, especially
ancient Chinese philosophy, the ancient
oriental concepts of health
and illness is relatively comprehensive. They consider human health is not
merely the physical vigor but also comfort both in the spiritual life. From
figuring out the factors affecting the health and illness of humans as genetic,
natural environment, social theorists oriental traditional medicine has taken
the method of diagnosis, treatment, disease prevention and health promotion for
people very unique and effective that so far remain valid.
Today, in the light of modern scientific knowledge, our concepts of health
and disease is increasingly expanding, the methods of disease prevention and
treatment also becomes rich, diversified.
However, it also appeared from the
opinion that, in fact, the new concept is called by us today about health and
human disease probably also not more completely new concept of father he was
old, especially the concept of oriental medicine; which has created quite a
lively debate on this issue.
So essentially the view of the
Ancient Orient about health and illness? This article aims to contribute to
unravel the problems set out above.
1. The general concept of the Ancient Orient about
health
According to popular belief, people in
good health are less sick. But health is, what are the diseases of mankind been
a long time not a unified concept. Until 1978, in Alma - Ata (Republic of
Kazakstan capital of the former Soviet Union), which represents the medical workers
worldwide (World Health Organisation, referred to as WHO) new come to a unified
conception; whereby, "health" means "comfortable condition both
physically, mentally and socially (ie social relations), rather than the
absence of illness, or injury ".
Actually, the concept considers human
health as physical comfort, social psychiatry was not at the time appear, which
are from very early in the Oriental philosophy, especially in ancient Chinese
philosophy. The Chinese ancient money for that period, the human species
is a dark spirit in the universe, the existence of "real life" of
people not only depends on the body but also depends on the spirit. Health and
disease of humans is related to these factors: the strength, comfort, or the
injury, disorders of body or spirit.
From there, they said, wanted to improve
health or cure of disease need to pay attention to the elements. Description of
book series (V century BC) that, once the King of Zheng was sick medical
patient when, for the King has diagnosed that: sick is bad souls of the King
dying (religious idealist perspective on illness and health). But when
asked to Tu San - a country's minister of Cheng, who is also a reformer
according to the materialist tendencies that health and illness, the bourgeois explains
how lifestyle and diet, happy anger, worry moderate disease not yet been able
to do. Philosopher Xun Zi (298-238 BC), in some of his works also often
discusses the relationship between health and disease. He said: "When the
body has enough spiritual birth, love and hate, celebrate angry, sad and happy
are hidden in" (Tuan Tu, Thien Luan).
In particular, Chinese philosopher of ancient times has sent a positive
tone for the theory part "Yin yang and five" and "God's
consolidation" is not only a materialist worldview naive and naive
dialectics of ancient oriental about people and the world, but also a direct
philosophical basis for the formation and development of traditional medicine
theory of oriental concept of health and human disease.
According to the author of
the Civil Emperor, a medical reason is considered the most
classic of ancient Chinese medicine, human health is not just the physical
strength but also the comfort of their own spiritual life. Facility to
create health is unity, balance of yin and yang elements, five elements,
corresponding to each division, each mobilization cycle life of each
person.
Also according to the authors of
the Civil Emperor, in the human body, if a positive as negative
elements become biased (or natural disasters failure to win), the five elements
(metal, wood, water, fire and earth) becomes excessive or inadequate, thereby
making the body vulnerable, mentally unstable, then the disease will definitely
arise, human health, therefore, that decline. Civil Emperor, Yin Yang,
monument books application issues Factor wrote: "Who knew how to shunned
damaged ties, hackers (air toxic, poisonous winds), in the air, legs calmly
followed, sustainable, spiritual sickness is also where that was born to
be. So, just get that little sexual, quiet mind without fear, without too
tired shaped, conditioned air vacuum, so everything is fulfilled ","
Two gas yin and yang that it is before the next capital of all things , it is
the root of life and death. Contrary to it, the disaster will generate,
according to its agreement, the disease does not suffer ".
It can be seen, the ancient oriental concepts of health and illness is
relatively comprehensive. Human health is not merely the physical vigor but
also comfort both in the spiritual life. Missing one of these factors also mean
that the disease can occur at any time on humans. Thus, between health and
disease is often associated with other concepts.
2. The factors affecting the health and illness
Based on the holistic concept of the philosophical doctrine of Yin yang and
the five elements of God's consolidation, ancient Oriental medicine that the
health and illness of people regularly affected by many factors; where each
element are the various important roles on the health and human disease.
First of all, the health and human diseases subject to
regulation and, therefore, affected by the genetic factors of the previous
generation, which thinkers call "natural disasters first gas".
According to Vietnam Great physician Le Huu Trac eighteenth century - Hai
Thuong Lan Ong, the hydration factor "first" is born of human
origin. From male (yang) and women (yin) have intercourse birth to
children. Yin yang with railway junction, the new hydro gather. Four things
that gas (negative, positive, water, fire) together being referred to as
"air traffic", the vessels were originally called natural gas, also
known as natural gas disasters ever. Priori natural gas development could shape
(physically) and spirit (shades and spiritual) of humans. Main yin and
yang, mutual harmony hydration that can review the new one is always kept at a
certain index (37 degrees C). Once yin and yang, hydration imbalance can then
review the human will change and when no longer able to review again, people
will die. According to Hai Thuong Lan Ong Le Huu Trac, it was thanks to
the hydraulic legs, legs fire, important factors to produce natural gas should
priori newly temperate body and need nursing care. If yin and yang deficiency,
unbalanced hydration, people living in the lavish though, is not immune from
premature death fate.
Second, the health and human disease also affected the
natural environment. This view of the Oriental medicine theories stem from a
principled ideological rivalries in the "God took birth all things positive,
for all things negative. Human birth is, of the meaning. So Saints above all
things sex workers to use, to the things that used "(Yijing, from the
upper stories System). From that, when applied to medicine, they said,
wanted to preserve was health, prevent illness, people need to make appropriate
lifestyle with transformation of yin and Yang, obey the objective laws of
nature. Civil Emperor, ancient natural foot heavenly, Prime books advice
writing: "the Caveman Era, those who know the religious (i.e. self
spiritual nursing methods, blood gas) mimics the Yin Yang. They reconcile with
the technical gas training, eating in moderation, common sense, sleep is not
doing so should keep both is the form and the spirit of heaven lives hundreds
of years dead ".
Perspective on the impact of the natural environment on health and human
disease is also reflected in air transport theory. This is the method used by
the ancients to explain and consider the Metamorphosis of terrain, climate and
weather. But, according to them, from the understanding of nature, drawn by its
laws that people know the rhythms of life circulating biotic world, including
the people themselves.
Applying theory into medical air
transportation, the ancient oriental confirmed the influence of climate,
natural environment for the human body. In particular, they mainly
indicate the causative factors of the continent sex, based on the different
nature of the cause, and then apply the theory of the Five Elements Yin yang to
explain the emergence of disease in the body, Making a diagnosis of favorable
and easily identify therapeutic principles. Accordingly, because of the
nature and causes of illness are not the same, as well as physically different
for each person, so government organs and meridians disease status also appears
different documents. For example: five stud, five belong carpentry transport
sip. Ren is running excessive carpentry, carpentry nails transportation is
inadequate. If shortcomings are rustic organic apple operating gas
(prosperous prosperous). Rustic style organic gases are outrageous acts; so,
when affecting the human body, they would find out the various stock
illness. Civil Emperor, Natural Gas delivery, turn the book Element
written matter "In any gas, the rustic air Apple will prosper ... people
much suffering the damage in South Korea, rib, abdominal pain, abdominal pain
lower boiling, defecation gelatinous Pasty ... hot, wet weather ... cough and
nasal dud".
So, from my experience, the ancients had
generalized medical reasoning very unique to indicate the organic relationship
between health and human disease with the external environment. This makes
sense especially important in the diagnosis and treatment of Oriental medicine.
Third, the
influence of the social environment on the health and disease. This is also a
problem that the Oriental traditional medicine House mentioned from very early
on. The impact of the social environment on the health and disease of
human beings is understood on many aspects, such as lifestyle (lifestyle,
eating), communication relations, especially social relations between class-a
group of people and the middle class people in society have the working
class. According to them, the elite mandarins or poor usually suffer the
diseases specific to their lifestyle, or during the chaos war, people often
have a number of diseases, etc. Hence, one can see the old people, right from
the very early have special attention to social factors in evaluating the
health and disease of humans.
3. The treatment of disease, maintain and improve
their health
Based on the philosophy of the East, Oriental medicine theory that the
human body is a possible unification of the physiological functions of the
body, humans have the ability to adapt to the surrounding environment. That
perspective has created the "holistic" principle, a basic principle
in diagnosis and treatment of Oriental medicine.
-About Oriental medicine diagnoses, with
looking "can", use the same argument with the dialectical method (via
the "Quartet"-hope, writer, Advisor, and "diamond Bowl"-Ly,
welding heat, the real damage, Yin Yang) to analyze and speculate, as bases for
the prevention and treatment of disease.
- About therapy, Oriental medicine for
that illness arises nothing more than the "heavenly victory" or
"natural decline" of yin and yang, the edginess or
"inadequacies" of the five elements. Therefore, the principle of
treatment is adjusted for bias of the yin-yang two, adjusting the excesses or
inadequacies of the five elements, corresponding to each department, function
or process of the life racer able to make the human body from where bias and
imbalance reverts to normal psychological and physical;that is the root
disease cure (cure all the picky). This is a method of treatment of Oriental
medicine is quite unique compared to the other medicine.
- Prevention of diseases and health
promotion, based on Eastern philosophy, Oriental medicine that the human body
is a miniature universe (Heaven and Earth Elementary relatives) should, in
principle, heaven and earth there are yin and yang, the human body has yin and
yang ( "Sky - Earth - People respective yin and
yang"), human health is due to the balance of yin and yang elements. Thus,
according to the lunisolar upon the living, as opposed to the chaos of yin and
yang.
From this reasoning, Eastern medicine
methods outlined Ayurvedic aims to maintain and improve human health. According
to this method, in order to improve health and prevent disease, people need to
eat properly permitted activities hygiene, use nature foods,
functional fitness and sports, motor.
Standing on the perspective of modern
medicine, the method can be considered in Ayurvedic oriental traditional
medicine is a method of prevention and positive treatment (to prevent and treat
illness before appearing). Can consider this method quite unique healing rarely
seen in traditional medicine before.
Thus, we can see, on the basis of Eastern philosophy, especially ancient
Chinese philosophy, which health problems and illnesses were ancient Oriental
medicine refers quite comprehensive, from content reflects, these factors
influence, until the construction of disease prevention methods, preserve and improve
their health.
