Chapter 46 Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine
"Yes!" Professor Wang cupped his glasses and said, "I'll give you a brief introduction to how to lose weight with acupuncture." Acupuncture for weight loss is to stimulate the meridians and acupoints to adjust the functions of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortex and sympathetic-adrenal medulla, accelerate the basal metabolic rate, thereby promoting fat metabolism, increasing heat production, and making the accumulated fat consumed; And then adjust, improve and repair the body's own balance.
Acupuncture and moxibustion for weight loss can not only achieve the overall weight loss effect, but also eliminate local fat to achieve the purpose of local weight loss. ”
"If acupuncture is so good for weight loss, why do so few people use this method?" the girl then asked.
Professor Wang couldn't help but sigh: "Traditional Chinese medicine, I don't need to say, many people know that it is better than Western medicine, why? However, after Western medicine has been treated, it may relapse, and it is easy to have side effects, but after Chinese medicine has been conditioned, there are few side effects.
In this case, why is Chinese medicine declining more and more? The reason is also simple, Chinese medicine is more complicated, and Western medicine is relatively simple. Let's talk about learning first, as long as you study Western medicine for one or two years, not to mention any major surgery, at least open a small outpatient clinic, there is no problem. Not to mention one or two years, four or five years can only be regarded as an entry, so it is difficult to get started with Chinese medicine, and it is even more difficult to learn something. In this slightly impetuous society, few people will work hard and spend more than ten years, or even decades, of precious time to learn real Chinese medicine.
Speaking of treatment, let's take the weight loss mentioned by this classmate just now as an example, some weight loss drugs in the society are fast-working, although the side effects are more obvious, but some people are willing to try. TCM acupuncture has no side effects, but it often requires a year or two of uninterrupted treatment, and how many people can stick to it?
Finally, traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to prescribing the right medicine, which is difficult to mass-produce, so it is inevitable that traditional Chinese medicine will gradually decline in comprehensive comparison. ”
A student in front of Ma Han pouted and whispered to himself: "Traditional Chinese medicine has long been out of order, don't look at the current society, where is there still traditional Chinese medicine? ”
This is Professor Wang's lecture on traditional Chinese medicine, and the student naturally didn't dare to say this loudly, so his voice was very low, and basically no one heard it, but Ma Han's hearing was keen, but he listened carefully, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In the past few months, Ma Han has heard from time to time that some people insult traditional Chinese medicine, especially those Western medical students in medical schools.
Many people are sick, as soon as they enter the hospital, the doctor first asks, what disease do you have, the patient wants to scold the mother, if I know what disease you have, I still need to ask you? A better doctor will ask you where you are uncomfortable, your stomach is uncomfortable, go to go for a gastroscopy, your head is uncomfortable, go to take a film, where is uncomfortable, go to check with a machine.
To be fair, Western medicine focuses on seeing a patient, and the elimination of pathogenic factors is the main means of treatment. Western medicine generally judges the health status of the body through laboratory tests and other means, with the help of instruments to have a clear and accurate grasp of the number and size of various biological indicators in the human body, and this intuitive and accurate way is easy to be accepted by patients.
Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on treating people, and Chinese medicine pays attention to the human body as a whole, mainly to recuperate, so that people's own immunity is enhanced, and at the same time pay attention to the clinical symptoms after the onset of the disease, which varies from person to person and from place to place.
Ma Han no longer paid attention to the boy's whispering, and just listened attentively to Professor Wang's lecture.
Unconsciously, when it was time for the end of class, the students left the class in twos and threes, and the boy in front of them was with a man and three women, walking and talking.
"If you want me to say, Chinese medicine is useless now, so it's better to ban it. ”
A girl with dyed red hair looked left and right and glared at the boy: "You be quiet, this is the Department of Chinese Medicine, I want to find trouble." ”
"I'm telling the truth, what are you afraid of? Last time I had ringworm on my leg, I found a Chinese medicine doctor in my hometown, and asked me to boil medicine and swallow it for three months, and then look at the curative effect, I estimated it, it took more than 4,000, and then I went directly to a second-rate hospital, took three injections, and infused liquid for two days, well, it only cost more than 300, you say, is Chinese medicine a cheat?" the boy shouted unconvinced.
The boy's voice was not small, and many students heard it, and many people didn't know what to say for a while.
Ma Han also heard it, and sighed secretly, what the boy said is right, in the current society, many scammers pretend to be traditional Chinese medicine and prescribe medicine indiscriminately, resulting in the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine getting worse and worse, which is also an undeniable fact.
Since we talk about Chinese medicine and Western medicine, we can't be counted as liars, and the real Chinese medicine is much better than Western medicine. One student couldn't help but retort to the boy.
This student Ma Han knew, Hao Yueqi, who volunteered to be the class leader!
