However, the saying that "it doesn't hurt if it hurts" is also used by many informal massage shops. Some massage shops think that the harder you press it, the smoother your qi and blood will be and the better the effect will be. Others think that you should press where it hurts, and if you press it, it won't hurt. These are actually misunderstandings of this sentence.
Massage is just a way to cure diseases. It really depends on the doctor's thinking. The treatment of any disease mainly depends on the doctor's view of the disease. This understanding of the disease depends on the knowledge and experience of doctors, and on this basis, the method can be effective.
Then, how should we understand the sentence "general rules do not hurt, but pain is unreasonable"? The media of the medical association interviewed Associate Professor Ma Youmeng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopaedics, Guangdong Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to interpret the relationship between "communication" and "pain" in traditional Chinese medicine.
Associate Professor Ma Youmeng pointed out that the concept of "the general principle is painless, but the pain is impassable" certainly refers to meridians. Blood vessel is a concept in modern medical anatomy, but there is no concept of blood vessel in China ancient medicine. Therefore, "the general principle does not hurt, but the pain will not work" definitely refers to the meridians. Although the ancients did not have the concept of blood vessels, the concept of ancient meridians may include blood vessels.
The word "tong" in "general rules don't hurt, but pain doesn't work" refers to the patency of meridians, which shows human spirit and comfort. For example, the problem of meridian obstruction will cause some joint pain, gastrointestinal discomfort, some gynecological diseases, dizziness, headache and so on. Including internal medicine and gynecology, it will cause pain because the meridians are blocked. There are various diseases caused by meridian obstruction. In addition, blood vessels are different from meridians because Chinese medicine and modern medicine have different perspectives on disease research and different ways to solve problems.
Associate Professor Ma Youmeng explained that healthy human meridians in Chinese medicine must be unblocked. "The general rule does not hurt, but the pain will not work." Therefore, in the treatment of diseases, in Chinese medicine, the main starting point is to dredge meridians, which is the crystallization of the high wisdom of the ancients. Although many diseases have been thoroughly studied and convincing from the perspective of modern medicine, there is no cure yet. Although the Chinese medicine left by the ancients is not very convincing in many cases, and many people don't trust Chinese medicine now, if we follow the ancient ideas of treating diseases, we can actually find ways to solve problems and cure some diseases that western medicine can't solve.
The long-term production practice of the ancients included daily labor, fighting against nature and studying diseases. In this process, a lot of clinical experience has been accumulated, and the key to dredging meridians has been highly summarized. Because the concept is abstract, modern people's understanding of it is very vague, and they don't even know why. However, many problems can be solved as long as we follow the ideas of the ancients. # Breeze Project #
