Based On Oriental Philosophy

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.
