Tibetan medicine treatment. Ancient Tibetan recipes for health and longevity

According to the dialectic of the development of the Universe, the world is divided into two inseparable halves: interconnected and closely interacting opposites. It is cold and heat, day and night, sun and moon, man and woman, north and south, and so on ad infinitum. The Earth is infinitely generous and kind to us, it gives life to all life on the planet. Everything that grows on it contains the elements of water, earth, air, metal, sun and moon. Nutrition according to Tibetan medicine suggests that human food, like everything else in the world, has the nature of cold and heat.

The experience of applying proper nutrition according to Tibetan medicine indicates that most people with health problems do not need conventional medical treatment. To recover, it is enough for them to change their lifestyle and diet. Food, affecting the basic physiological processes, enhances or weakens their activity.

At the same time, various foods and dishes prepared from them affect the body in different ways: they can heal, or they can turn out to be poison. We build our body from what we eat. Even our emotions, mood, mental activity, courage, and success depend to a large extent on diet. Proper nutrition according to Tibetan medicine promotes the formation of new cells in all vital organs of the body and the achievement of complete harmony in the body.

The influence of food on a person is studied through taste, therefore, when organizing meals in Tibetan medicine, developing diets and prescribing medicines, it is of decisive importance to him. During the day, the patient should receive in one dosage or another all six tastes: bitter, sour, salty, spicy, sweet, astringent. It is believed that the energy of heat yang or cold yin embedded in food is recognized by a person with the help of taste buds.

Such a constitution, characteristic of phlegmatic people, belongs to the cold type of yin. As a rule, these people are balanced, calm, imperturbable, good-natured and peaceful. Show restraint in anger. Their skin is pale, cool, even and tight, the joints are often swollen and stiff. Urine is light, with a slight smell. The tongue is covered with a white coating, the gums are whitish, the eyelids are swollen.

However, when the natural laziness of phlegmatic people increases, the accumulation of excess mucus begins in the body. In winter, with a sedentary lifestyle and overeating, people with this constitution experience malfunctions in the functioning of physiological systems. Similar disorders appear in the form of runny noses, bronchitis, pain in the joints, spine, swelling on the legs and face. Representatives of the “mucus” constitution often experience heaviness in the body, especially in the lower back.

With a dominant “mucus” constitution, a person has disturbances in the work of the endocrine system, the development of goiter (thickening at the base of the neck), and a tendency to body numbness. Often there is hiccups, difficult mobility of joints and vertebrae, memory worsens, drowsiness appears, taste sensations are dulled. Any food seems unappetizing, a stale sour taste is felt in the mouth. Important in the correction of the body of people of this type is, of course, the regime of work and rest, a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition in accordance with the human constitution.

As soon as a person begins to "get heavier", his tummy is rounded, laziness and a desire to sleep in the daytime appear. This means that the body is signaling danger. The picture can be supplemented by slight swelling on the face after sleep, and in the ankle area in the evening. All these signs indicate that an immediate transition to active action is needed. Heavy "cold" food and overeating only exacerbate the problems of people with a "mucus" constitution, so it is very important to take into account the recommendations of Tibetan medicine for proper nutrition.

Centuries-old practice proves that inappropriate food is most often the main cause of the disorder of the “mucus” constitution. Proper nutrition for such people does not allow the regular use of "cold" foods, fresh food without spices and seasonings, fatty high-calorie foods, incompatible foods. The use of spoiled or poorly prepared foods, immature grains, beans, stale vegetables and root crops can also lead to negative consequences.

In addition, nutrition according to Tibetan medicine provides for the observance of certain norms without overeating and excessive fluid intake. The amount drunk should not be more than twice the amount of solid foods eaten. Perturbation of "mucus" can cause abnormal absorption of cow's or goat's milk, passion for chilled carbonated drinks, abuse of bitter and sweet tastes. Proper nutrition also implies a healthy eating pattern, excluding too frequent snacks, when a person begins to eat before the previously eaten has had time to be digested.

The constitution of "mucus" by age classification refers to the period of childhood associated with ignorance. In adults, as a result of ignorance, mental and spiritual laziness, bad habits, disordered eating, and an unhealthy lifestyle become the causes of the development of “mucus” diseases. It is adults who rarely think about the benefits of nutrition according to Tibetan medicine, indulging momentary whims that lead to the appearance of painful disorders in the physiological system. A change in the state of the mucous surfaces and a violation of their functions is the first sign of a perturbation of the constitution.

Staying in damp and cold rooms, systematic hypothermia, and most importantly, food that is contrary to the principles of proper nutrition according to Tibetan medicine, become significant factors contributing to the disturbance of the “mucus” constitution. This should be remembered by those who work outdoors at any time of the year, such as sellers from a stall on the street or builders. Over time, indifference to your body leads to the development of serious health problems.

Proper nutrition counteracts the appearance of failures in the body, because the basis of most diseases is an unbalanced diet. It should not be expected that when the “mucus” constitution is disturbed, mucous deposits begin to accumulate in the bronchi and trachea, like scale on the walls of a teapot. In this case, it is important to stop the process at the initial stage of development, identifying it by the first unpleasant sensations, such as the appearance of a coma in the throat that makes it difficult to swallow, and a tickle when talking. Sometimes there may be difficulty in inhaling, making it difficult to inhale fully.

There are other serious symptoms, such as expectoration of a small amount of dirty yellow sputum during exertion or choking cough when laughing, exposure to frequent hiccups, dry, no expectoration, cough for no apparent reason. All of them indicate a large accumulation of mucus in the respiratory organs. If they are joined by infections, repeated colds suffered on the legs, untreated diseases, then the result may be the occurrence of allergic reactions and intractable pathologies.

The accumulated mucus enters the bloodstream and circulates with it throughout the body, affecting dense and hollow organs, skin, joints, muscles, bones. When it enters dense organs, such as the lungs, pneumonia and bronchial asthma occur. The hollow organs include the stomach, large and small intestines, bladder, and uterus. Penetration of mucus into the bladder causes urinary incontinence, if it enters the uterus - a feeling of cold in the lower abdomen. Often, this results in the release of mucus and blood in the urine through the genital and urinary tract.

Tibetan medicine, with its point of view, proven for thousands of years, explains why the presence of mucus in the intestine provokes bloating, rumbling, gas, and diarrhea. From indigestion, mucus settles on the folds of the stomach in the form of a multilayer plaque. In these cases, fibrogastroscopy shows rough folding and an abundance of mucus. Heaviness is felt in the stomach, vomiting occurs, belching is sour and an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth, heartburn appears. Naturally, digestion worsens, appetite disappears. Even if a person eats little, he feels fullness in the stomach.

The presence of mucus when it is excited is found everywhere in the body. So, when examining the bladder by cystoscopy, redness and hypertrophy of the mucosa are revealed, the analysis shows the presence of mucus in the urine. When it enters the kidneys of a person, pain in the lower back is tormented, urinary retention occurs. A disease state under the influence of dampness and cold is much easier to tolerate when organizing proper nutrition according to Tibetan medicine.

Depending on the distribution of mucus in the body and the place of its localization, symptoms such as a feeling of congestion in the ears, heaviness in the head, drowsiness, apathy, and weakness may appear. Penetrating into the nasopharynx, mucus causes a severe runny nose, a feeling of pressure on the bridge of the nose. There are cases of weakening of memory, a decrease in mental activity, the occurrence of dizziness, a feeling of fullness in the chest. Due to the lack of proper nutrition, according to the constitution of a person, an already poor appetite worsens, bloating and heaviness in the right hypochondrium appear, a feeling of cold in the body. The tongue stops feeling the taste of food. During defecation, viscous mucus comes out with feces.

When mucus is eaten into the bone tissue, swelling occurs in the joints, aching pains in the foci of inflammation at rest, as well as during flexion and extension of the limbs. Exacerbation in this case may occur as a result of hypothermia. For example, a person bathed in cold water, and the next day his knees were swollen. In this case, there was a rapid breakdown of the binding mucus, because the prerequisites for this were created in advance due to an incorrect lifestyle and diet.

The question of how to get rid of diseases that are growing like a snowball becomes especially relevant for a person. At present, the problem is easily solved. An exhaustive answer to the topical question is provided by the nutrition of Tibetan medicine.

The indignation of the “mucus” constitution and the diseases associated with it are divided into true ones, occurring on “one’s own basis”, and mixed ones, arising on an “alien basis”. At the same time, fat, fluid, mucus and lymph accumulate in the body, which directly leads to the appearance of excess weight and the development of many diseases. People of this type are overcome by tonsillitis, pharyngitis, chronic runny nose, sinusitis, bronchitis and bronchial asthma, various allergies, etc. They are tormented by joint pain, skin diseases and various neoplasms - lipomas, fibromas, mastopathy.

People with a "mucus" constitution are recommended food that has pungent, sour and salty tastes. Unhealthy hobbies of bitter and sweet foods should be avoided. The best remedies for calming the “mucus” constitution are foods such as honey, lamb, decoction of ginger, salmon, cereals on the water, old wines. Ready meals and drinks should be warm, hot, but not cold.

Lean cheeses, chicken meat, eggs, low-fat milk, fresh butter are very useful. Consumption of refractory animal fats is best kept to a minimum. But vegetables and fruits must be present in the daily menu. Apples, pears, cranberries, persimmons, quince, sea buckthorn, dried fruits are ideal for people with a “mucus” constitution. From vegetables, eggplants, greens, pumpkin, onions, spinach, beans, peas, celery, parsley, salads from radishes, carrots, cabbage, as well as buckwheat, corn, millet and spices are recommended.

It is especially important to use red and black pepper. By its nature, it contains a large amount of yang energy, gives a lot of warmth to the body, and can be used to prevent and treat such cold diseases as colds, sore throats, etc. A simple recipe is widely known among the people: a strong adult should drink 30 g of vodka with pepper and lie down under the covers to increase body heat. Colds usually go away by morning.

The wind constitution (sanguine) has a cold yin nature. These are mobile, emotional, active and sociable people who actively respond to the world around them. As a rule, "winds" have a thin miniature physique and small stature. They suffer from neuralgia, pains in the bones and joints, and are prone to convulsions.

A distinctive feature of the "winds" is affection and passion, which in young years are manifested in sexual excesses. There are many smokers among them, lovers of drinking, having fun in a noisy company. "Winds" are characterized by uncertainty and doubt, it is not easy for them to make decisions. Such people are predisposed to diseases associated with the nervous system, starting with sciatica. First, shootings appear in the lumbar region, then the pains spread to the joints and muscles. This happens against the backdrop of emotional overload.

But the most important diseases for people of this type are mental and sleep disorders. Sleep disturbances occur, it becomes sensitive and disturbing, filled with nightmarish visions. A constant feeling of fear, confusion and anxiety lives in the soul, there is a fluctuation in sensations.

The basis of all diseases inherent in the "winds" is the hyperactivity of the nervous system. The cause of the disease is often stress, fear, excessive positive or negative emotions. Acute infections, gastritis, peptic ulcer, vascular dystonia, neurosis - this is not a complete list of diseases of the "winds".

“Winds” are advised to observe reasonable moderation in everything, to be able to neutralize negative emotions and see the positive side in any situation. Since people of the wind are not predisposed to overweight and remain mobile and light until old age, they can happily avoid many chronic pathologies. However, increased excitability contributes to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks. Since the nervous system plays a central, key role in any organism, in case of malfunctions in its work, such disorders can also occur in people with dominant constitutions of "mucus" and "bile".

The conventional wisdom that all diseases are from the nerves, in the conditions of a modern, stressful life, becomes especially true. Speaking of wind disturbance, it must be emphasized that it is not something inevitable, independent of the will and consciousness of a person. On the contrary, the cause and conditions for the development of this disturbance are created by the person himself.

According to the provisions of Tibetan medicine, passion and lust are the basis for the disorder of the “wind” constitution. The irresistible need to be guided in life only by one's feelings and emotions leads to nervous overload and, as a result, to the development of bad habits and diseases. Passion means an unreasonable, frantic desire to achieve something: love pleasure, sports results, material well-being or career growth, social status, power over other people, etc.

The reverse side of passions is attachments, which mean an equally unreasonable and desperate desire to preserve the benefits that are available. This is the form of ignorance that denies the inevitability of ongoing changes in life, in the country, in human relations. It lies in the inability and unwillingness to accept and realize these changes.

This can be not only attachment to material values, housing, property, social status, position, but also, for example, very strong feelings for a loved one. They are often expressed in abnormal hypertrophied love for children or grandchildren. In any case, unbridled affection breeds jealousy and turns a person into a tyrant. And in the event of the premature death of an adored family member, it can lead to a severe mental disorder, the development of intractable diseases, and even death.

The same can be true of attachment to a pet. In all situations, obsessive love causes destructive emotions, such as anxiety, fear, envy, anxiety, painful fantasies, etc. Subsequently, they turn into randomness of thoughts, uncontrollable emotionality, nervous overexcitation, delusional ideas. All this contributes to the disorder of the nervous system of the "wind" constitution, while first there is a disturbance of yang, and then exhaustion and decline - a state of yin. The latter is characterized by apathy, indifference, a feeling of deep melancholy and hopelessness.

It is not for nothing that special attention is paid to love passion in Tibetan medicine. In the treatise "Chzhud-Shi" about sexual excesses it is said that they "lead to loss of sexual strength, weakness, dizziness and even to sudden death" (tantra of explanations). Passions and attachments equally disturb the nervous system, bringing it into a state of yang excitement or yin decline.

The treatise "Chzhud-shih" says: "Diseases develop from causes only under the presence of appropriate conditions." And the conditions for the development of diseases based on the disturbance of the “wind” constitution are provided by fatigue from passion (love or any other), regular lack of sleep, excessive physical, mental or emotional activity, prolonged fasting, consumption of coarse and low-nutrient food, hasty absorption of food, drinking cold fasting water.

Ultimately, too long intervals between meals, abuse of bitter taste, profuse blood loss, severe diarrhea or vomiting lead to illness. No less harm is caused to the body by restraint of natural urges or, conversely, by strong attempts. Prolonged stay in a cold piercing wind or rain, external exposure to low temperatures become factors in the exacerbation of many diseases. In addition, severe hypothermia of the body, accompanied by emotional arousal, can cause diseases such as neuritis of the facial nerve, neuralgia.

Negatively affect health and painful experiences, accompanied by sobbing, strong crying, deep sadness and anxiety. “Under these conditions, the wind accumulates in its places, gains strength and, seizing the moment, sets in motion” (“Chzhud-shi”, Tantra of Instructions).

With the accumulation of nervous stress, painful manifestations increase. Gradually there is a deformation of the chest. Stress causes involuntary muscle contraction, a person lowers his shoulders, tries to be invisible. Over time, this posture becomes permanent, habitual, which leads to stoop and even hunchback in old age, to the need to use a stick when walking.

It should be especially noted that the nervous system, like the whole body, is a single whole. Despite the fact that the "wind" is conditionally divided into five types according to functions and area of ​​localization, it should be well understood that a disturbance of one type of rlung can cause a disturbance of its other types. So the penetration of a nervous breakdown into the liver causes belching during and after eating, vomiting, painful colic in the right half of the chest and chest behind, in the right hypochondrium and right subscapular region, pain in the muscles of the back.

The penetration of the wind into the liver and the gallbladder associated with it has the character of an attack. A short-term spasm of the gallbladder against the background of a nervous shock spreads to the liver, causes a large single release of bile into the blood, which, spreading through the body with the bloodstream, causes a complex of symptoms. At the same time, blood biochemical parameters, such as the level of bilirubin and other liver test data, may remain normal.

For people with a "wind" constitution, food that is spicy, sweet, sour, and salty is recommended. Abuse of bitter-tasting food and starvation should be avoided. The best remedies for calming the vital principle “wind” are sesame oil, sugar, wines, lamb, especially smoked, horse meat, onions, wild garlic, broths. From fruits and vegetables - raspberries, strawberries, sweet apples, watermelons, mangoes, melons, sauerkraut, pickles, ginger, onions, garlic.

A surprisingly simple and effective recipe for a decoction of ginger. 1 teaspoon (or 2 teaspoons - to taste) of fresh ginger root pour 200 ml of boiling water, add 1 teaspoon of honey (you can 1 tablespoon - to taste) and a slice of lemon. Drink hot. The drink includes three tastes: spicy, sour and sweet. All of them have a positive effect on the upset constitutions "wind" and "mucus". The drink is also good for the prevention of colds, sore throats and other infectious diseases. The infusion is useful to drink at night. Food and drink for people of the “wind” constitution should be hot, it can be warm, food from the refrigerator is not suitable for them.

The constitution of "bile" (cholerics) has the nature of heat - yang. It is called boiling, seething, militant. People with a dominant bile constitution have a decisive character, an enterprising mind, and a good appetite. As a rule, they are gourmets, they like to eat different goodies, while they are sensitive to poor-quality food, which causes them indigestion. Less than representatives of other constitutions, choleric people are adapted both to a substantial skipping of food and a late feast, and to prolonged starvation.

Only when they become ill from hunger and begin to tremble in the body, hot-tempered choleric people become irritable and aggressive. At this point, it's best not to see them. People of "bile" are quite hardy, but from excessive physical exertion, due to heat or frequent bouts of rage and anger, their well-being can be upset. Proper nutrition according to Tibetan medicine, the ability to restrain bouts of anger and indignation, and fully relax will help them maintain health and vigor until old age.

In a normal state, people with a dominant bile constitution are overwhelmed with warm feelings and a joyful perception of life, but when bile is indignant, negative traits of their character also appear. First of all, aggressiveness increases. Every little thing infuriates them: the sound of dripping water, a creaking door, a petty insult to loved ones, loud children's laughter. Such people are more likely to suffer from metabolic disorders, they are prone to cholelithiasis, skin diseases (dermatitis, psoriasis, acne), are prone to liver pathologies, the development of hypertension, heart attacks and other disorders of the cardiovascular system. But those who manage to keep their passions in check live long and have excellent health.

Tibetan medicine considers anger to be the main cause of bile disturbance. This concept includes a whole range of negative emotions: irritation, hatred, rage, anger, jealousy, envy, intolerance, aggressiveness. Excessive bile leads to disturbances in the functioning of the liver - the "queen of the internal organs." “The excitement of bile burns the forces of the body, for bile has the nature of fire, therefore it is “hot” (treatise “Chzhud-shih”).

It is the nature of fire and the perturbation of bile that lead to the development of the "heat" disease, which is commonly said to burn. “There is no bile, and there can be no heat” (“Chzhud-shih”, Tantra of explanations).

The liver that produces bile in the body is very vulnerable psychologically, because bile is not only involved in digestion, but also controls the psyche. People with a dominant bile constitution are characterized by self-confidence and innate pride. Wounded pride (and this is almost always about them) does not give them rest. Their bile literally boils and splashes over the edge, taking with it internal energy.

A constant source of irritation in the family, at work or in society contributes to the release of excess bile into the blood. And the blood already carries it throughout the body and, first of all, to the heart. Pressure surges begin, the pulse quickens, sleep is disturbed. Dry mouth with a bitter taste. Yellow eyes. The urine becomes hot, steam may come out of it, the smell of urine intensifies. The skin also turns yellow, itching worries, skin diseases develop. All of the above refers to the state of "heat in the liver." Tibetan medicine calls this state yang.

The classic medical treatise Huangdi Neijing (Huangdi Canon on Internal Medicine), written about two thousand years ago in China, says that gallbladder problems arise mainly from unsatisfied ambition and bursting anger. The instruction is clear: "Anger spoils the liver." Other wise sayings from the same book: "Be pure in heart, limit your passions and do not succumb to emotional upheavals", "A pure spirit is the foundation of the Great Healing." Due to the great emotionality, people of the bile constitution are most susceptible to cardiovascular diseases - angina pectoris, heart attack, hypertension, and strokes.

The lack of proper nutrition according to the human constitution and an inappropriate lifestyle exacerbate liver problems. A person himself creates the conditions for the disturbance of bile and the development of “heat” diseases by abusing hot, spicy, fried, fatty, meat, and sour foods. Overheating of the body, increased physical activity, staying in stuffy rooms, inhaling sharp, unpleasant odors, drinking strong alcoholic beverages leads to violations of many liver functions, including the production of bile.

“Excess of burning, sharp, hot and oily, indomitable anger in the soul, sleep on a hot afternoon, hard work after sleep, an unbearable load ... as well as meat, wine and molasses in large quantities - these are the conditions that give impetus to bile diseases” ( "Chzhud-shih", Tantra of explanations).

The liver is a multifunctional organ. She is in charge of the ligamentous apparatus (tendons, fascia), therefore, the deterioration of her activity often leads to tightening of the ligaments. As an example, we can cite cases when the fingers do not unbend, the nails turn yellow and exfoliate. These symptoms are more common in men. Women have menstrual irregularities, prolonged endometriosis. All these manifestations are nothing but a malfunction of the liver, an indignation of the “bile” constitution. As a result, prothrombin, blood clotting increases. It is the liver that accumulates blood in itself, makes it thick, which contributes to the formation of blood clots in the vessels and increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Depletion of the liver, that is, the state of yin, is characterized by a deterioration in well-being and a general decline in strength. If a person is not treated, the liver is eventually depleted, "cold" settles in it. Urine and feces become whitish because there is not enough bile in the body. Chills, fatigue, anger, resentment towards others and loved ones, lethargy appear. Color perception may change: white appears yellow, yellow appears green. The hairline on the body is thinning. The body begins to dry out, pigment spots, papillomas appear in place of acne. Subcutaneous and adipose tissue, muscles, bone marrow, nervous tissue, tendons, joints and genitals also suffer. There are stagnation in the uterus, prostate, impotence is possible. Violations of the constitution "bile" also contribute to the formation of stones in the prostate. Women develop uterine fibroids with profuse bleeding.

People of the bile constitution are prone to gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases due to stress and overexertion. A person of this type needs from one to three sessions of acupuncture, taking herbal remedies of the Agar series, hepatoprotective and choleretic agents of Tibetan medicine, proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

Of the products, chicken meat, turkey, egg white, seafood, olive and sunflower oil, rice, wheat are recommended. From spices - coriander, cinnamon, dill, fennel, cardamom. From vegetables - cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, beans, all greens. From fruits and berries - persimmon, sea buckthorn, chokeberry, sweet apples, prunes, dried apricots, grapes, avocados, mangoes, pomegranates.

Not every person thinks about the fact that the products available in his refrigerator may be incompatible in nature. The simultaneous use of such food is tantamount to taking skillfully prepared poison. Harmful combinations include: fish and milk, milk and fruits, eggs and fish, pea soup and cane molasses. Also, you can not fry mushrooms in mustard oil, mix chicken meat with sour milk, eat sour food with milk, drink cold water after melted butter. It is not recommended to take honey and vegetable oil together, although people often do this, as if cleansing the liver.

The main condition for proper nutrition according to Tibetan medicine is the following: do not start a new meal until the previous portion of food has been digested, since the products may be incompatible. This often causes indigestion and indigestion. Unusual and out of time eaten foods can also cause similar consequences. However, for people who do heavy physical labor and those who constantly eat oil, there will be no particular harm from a single intake of incompatible food. There will be no problems in young, physically strong people with a good stomach, accustomed to coarse food.

Proper nutrition according to Tibetan medicine involves the division of foods into light and heavy. Light food can be eaten to the full, heavy food - half as much. The measure is the amount of food that is easily and quickly digested. From the point of view of Tibetan medicine, food nourishes the body, generates heat. If there is less than required, then strength disappears, diseases appear, caused by a disorder of the “wind” constitution. And if you eat more food than the body needs, then indigestion, weight gain and mucus accumulation are possible. The amount of food consumed at one time should be a handful. Each person has their own handful size. After eating, half of the stomach should be filled with solid food, 1/4 with liquid and 1/4 should remain empty.

All food products are divided according to their energy content into yin and yang. Moreover, people with the constitutions of "mucus" and "wind" are recommended to eat food with warm yang elements, those with the constitution "bile" - with cold yin. The following is a classification of products containing the first and second elements.

Water

Rain, snow, spring and mountain water contains cold elements. Boiling water only temporarily turns on the yang elements, so hot tea and coffee only warm the body for a short time. Clean drinking water in Tibetan medicine is given special attention. In the summer, you can drink up to 1.5-2 liters per day. In winter, autumn and spring, the amount of drinking water must be reduced to 1.2 liters per day, which fully satisfies the needs of the body during the cold period. In damp, dank weather, people with a “wind” constitution are especially harmful to water with gas and cold beer. The Yin nature of drinks cools the body, “cools” the blood, and in large quantities can exacerbate chronic diseases of the joints, upper respiratory tract, urogenital area, cause a common cold, sore throat, laryngitis.

Food of mineral origin

This is table salt, which contains warm elements. Therefore, salty food, which is yang in nature, is suitable for people with a "wind" and "mucus" constitution. Holders of the constitution "bile" are advised to limit the amount of such products in the daily diet. Salt heats up the already hot bubbling "bile" too much.

plant food

These are cold, medium and warm foods. So, wheat, oats, black barley, red and black pepper, poppy, coriander, mustard, ginger, star anise, dill, garlic, onion and green onion, Chinese cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, radish and nuts contain warm elements. Medium are found in blue yaritsa, buckwheat, peas, beans, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, pumpkin, radishes. Cold elements include rice, millet, spring rye, cabbage, beet, melon, bay leaf, horseradish, parsley.

Fruits and berries

Any fruit ripens and becomes the most useful in due time. In winter, we do not eat watermelons, melons, and grapes, which are yin in nature. But there are many other fruits that you can enjoy in the cold season. So, persimmon, which ripens in late autumn, is ideal for the bile constitution. It can be enjoyed in winter. For people with a wind constitution, the most suitable fruit is a banana, which has a sweet taste and contains yang elements. The “mucus” constitution can be content with pears and sweet and sour apples.

In winter, it is recommended to eat fruits and berries in moderation due to their yin and yang characteristics. They are useful in the form of compotes, jelly, jam, baked, and even better - as dried fruits, which are available all year round. Black and white raisins, which, being grapes, are truly Yin food, are good to eat in winter, autumn, and spring. It compensates for the lack of vitamins, minerals (especially potassium, which is necessary for the heart and kidneys). The taste of raisins can be sour and sweet, so it is useful for everyone. The first taste is for people of the constitution "mucus", the second - for the owners of the constitution "bile" and "wind". Sweet prunes and apricots, which contain little water, can be eaten by everyone, although there are slight restrictions on the "mucus" constitution.

Fruits and berries containing short-term warm elements include strawberries, strawberries, and raspberries. These berries are recommended to be consumed with tea, they warm the body for a short time. The middle elements contain rose hips, slightly cold - blueberries, bird cherry, sea buckthorn, persimmon, blackthorn, peaches, pomegranate. Strongly cold components are found in blackcurrant, plum, viburnum, cranberries, tangerines, lemons, mountain ash, ranet, cranberries.

Juices, wines, tinctures

Wines containing warm elements include cognac, wheat vodka, milk wine (especially from sheep's milk), anise and pepper tinctures. These drinks calm the "wind" and "mucus" constitutions, and vodka from sheep's milk (it has a warming effect) is a remedy for the disorder of "mucus" and "wind" that appeared on the basis of cooling the blood.

Drinks containing strongly cold elements include all grape and fruit wines, as well as fruit and mineral waters. It is harmful to use them for people with chilled blood, representatives of the constitutions "mucus" and "wind". At the same time, they soothe the vital principle of the constitution "bile". However, people living in a cold climate zone need to use these drinks with caution, not to get carried away with them in the winter.

Beer is a drink popular with the entire population of Russia, which calms people of the constitution "bile", but excites "mucus" and "wind". Its use in large quantities by people of the "mucus" type leads to even more obesity, because beer is "liquid bread". And the "winds" do not really like a foamy drink and quickly get drunk from it.

Dairy

Mare (koumiss) and sheep's milk contain exceptionally warm elements. They are nutritious and useful for everyone, they warm the blood, normalize sleep, and calm the vital principle of people like “wind” and “mucus”. Thanks to its excellent healing properties, koumiss and sheep's milk were a widespread drink among the indigenous peoples of Siberia, the North, and Central Asia. Regularly using them, you can be guaranteed to recover from severe chronic diseases of the bronchopulmonary system (including tuberculosis), stomach, intestines, kidneys, and genital organs. Unfortunately, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, koumiss farms disappeared and the number of tuberculosis patients increased.

Cow's milk contains medium elements. The amount of warm and cold components in it varies depending on the composition of the feed. If the hay is from a dry mowing, mountainous area, then only the first will be in the milk, but if it is from a damp swampy place or mixed with corn, cabbage, turnip, then the second. Fresh cow's milk, lactic acid products, and ghee are useful and nutritious, especially for patients suffering from upset "wind". People of the constitution "mucus" milk is not recommended. They are more suitable for fermented milk products, and even then freshly prepared, and not from the refrigerator. The most suitable for them will be matsoni and ayrans in a warm form, but not every day. For the bile constitution, the most beneficial is goat's milk, which contains yin elements.

Women's breast milk contains components of the yang nature, but its composition varies depending on the nutrition and health of the mother. If her blood is cool, and Yin foods predominate in her diet, then cold elements will be present in her milk. In this case, the child, despite breastfeeding, will be prone to Yin diseases (colds).

Beverages

This category includes kissels, compotes, tea, coffee, cocoa, lemonades. Coffee and black tea, according to the content of yin and yang elements, belong to neutral products, but they negatively affect the heart. Their use increases the heart rate, increases blood pressure.

Green tea is a healthy drink that quenches thirst well. Nutritious and tasty, it promotes blood renewal, normalizes blood pressure. Because of the bitter, pronounced taste in the East, green tea is brewed in different ways: with milk, salt and butter, herbs, salt licks, honey, but never with sugar.

Tea with milk and salt cleanses the gastrointestinal tract, disinfects it, disperses gases. Tibetans, Mongols and Buryats filled this drink with wholemeal flour, previously fried in melted butter. Such a high-calorie tea is soft, easy to digest, it can replace dinner for people with a “mucus” constitution and those who want to lose weight. This tea is very popular in China and is produced in a factory way.

In the East, they almost never drink tea with sugar, because sugar is a very Yin product. It "cools" the blood, promotes the development of diabetes. Adding lemon to tea also "cools" the blood. An overdose of vitamin C also leads to a disorder of the "wind", and hence sleep.

The most useful green tea with milk. For treatment, a “whipped” drink is prepared: green tea is boiled, baked milk is added (1 teaspoon per 1 liter of liquid), salt on the tip of a knife. It can be drunk 2-3 times a day for several days and even a month.

Cocoa has a bittersweet taste. With milk and sugar, it is good for people of the wind and bile constitution. In Europe and South America, this drink, like hot chocolate, is adored by thousands of people.

Meat and meat products

Meat products are loved by representatives of all constitutions. But not everyone knows what effect they have on the body. So, horse meat and lamb, containing warm elements, are suitable for “wind” and “mucus”. Lamb bone broth has long been considered a remedy for the disorder of these constitutions, restores strength after serious illnesses, nervous breakdowns, and helps with insomnia. Its preparation method is simple. Washed lamb bones should be poured with water (one liter per pair of bones) and boiled for 5-15 minutes, salt to taste. Drain the healing broth, use it for treatment, and the same bones can be boiled 3-4 more times. A glass of this broth relieves mild dizziness, tinnitus, and normalizes sleep. In addition, it is a conductor for many medicines - herbal medicines of Tibetan medicine, including the Agar series.

In the ancient customs of the Buryats, there was soup horkhog, which was prepared 1-2 times a year for medicinal purposes. Recipe: pieces of fresh lamb are placed in wooden dishes, a piece from each bone, from all internal organs, poured with water, salted. Then, nine red-hot small stones are added to this set of meat, tightly closed with a lid and brought to readiness. This soup restores strength, saves from "cooling" of the blood, is one of the many folk remedies for the treatment of Buryats.

Other types of meat are also used in Tibetan medicine: beef, pork and goat meat. The first contains medium and weakly warm elements, the remaining two contain cold elements, so their use can cause a disorder of “wind” and “mucus”.

Fish and seafood

All types of fish and seafood contain cold elements, so they are used without restriction to maintain the bile constitution. People of the constitution "wind" and "mucus" are recommended to use them with different spices, such as salt, pepper, ginger, cardamom, flax and others. They not only improve the taste of fish dishes, but also contribute to good digestion and assimilation of food. In addition, spices have a certain effect on cleansing the body, removing mucus, lymph, and altered fluid.

Topic 2 "The development of veterinary medicine in ancient China, India, Tibet and Palestine"

The ancient East was the cradle of human culture. Here, earlier than other places, the transition from the primitive communal system to the slave-owning system took place. The peoples and tribes of the East earlier than others, 4000-5000 years before the new era, entered the arena of history and left the most ancient historical monuments. The culture of the slave-owning countries of the Ancient East had a great influence on the development of European countries. Several thousand years before our era, the peoples of the Ancient East had the first sprouts of a materialistic worldview and the beginnings of scientific knowledge about nature. Composing a single whole with natural scientific ideas, these views, in the struggle against idealism and religion, cleared the ground for the development of science. The materialistic directions of the philosophical thought of the Ancient East could not yet rely on the system of natural science knowledge, which was then in its infancy, but was closely connected with the accumulation of information about the nature of bodies and phenomena.

During the period of the decomposition of the primitive communal system and its transformation into a class society, the functions of healing, previously inherent in many members of the community, were gradually concentrated in the hands of a narrower circle of people, primarily elders and priests. In the treatment, the priests widely used mysterious forms of prayers, sacrifices, accompanied by magical actions, divination, interpretations, such as the interpretation of dreams, various "miracles", "revelations", etc.

Medicine brought priests and temples large incomes. In an effort to preserve and expand the clientele of the temples, along with mystical and magical forms of healing, the priests used both empirically found techniques and healing remedies of folk veterinary medicine. The priests took a lot from the folk experience of healing, they selected remedies, noticed the differences between them.

Medical knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, the experience was supplemented and accumulated, it was difficult to keep it in memory. In this regard, after the emergence of writing, records of recipes, descriptions of diseases, medical techniques and methods of preparing medicines appeared. The priests became the keepers of knowledge about nature and, with the advent of writing, recorded people's experience.

The development of veterinary medicine in China - During the period of the primitive communal system, the Chinese tamed a large number of animals: dogs, pigs, goats, sheep, bulls, buffaloes, horses, in addition, elephants and deer. Livestock occupied a significant place. This is evidenced by a large number of animals sacrificed (up to 300 heads of bulls, 100 heads of sheep).

At the end of the 3rd-beginning of the 2nd millennium BC. in China, the slave system was strengthened, hieroglyphic writing arose, the complexity of which made literacy and education difficult to access and turned them into a monopoly of a small group of priests and aristocrats.

In ancient China, such sciences as mathematics, astronomy, agriculture, biological and medical knowledge achieved great success.

Chinese medicine is rooted in the deep past and is associated with an ancient philosophy, according to which in the body, as well as in the outside world, a constant struggle of two polar forces was assumed; health and disease were determined by their ratio.

Chinese doctors used many medicinal substances of plant (ginseng, lemongrass, rhubarb, ginger, tea, onion, garlic), animal (young deer antlers, musk, liver, bone marrow, tiger blood) and mineral origin (mercury, antimony, iron, sulfur ).

Chinese surgeons used silk, tow and hemp threads, mulberry fiber, tendons of tigers, calves and lambs to stitch wounds together. A peculiar, several millennium-old method of treatment "zhen-jiu therapy" (acupuncture and cauterization) was used to treat both people and animals.

The purpose of injections is to facilitate the movement of blood vessels and a special "vital" gaseous substance, to eliminate their "stagnation", and thereby eliminate the cause of the disease. The first literary data on the use of this method date back to the 6th century BC. and set forth in the "Canon of the Internal" ("Nei-ching", around the 2nd century BC) - one of the oldest medical books in China.

Quite early in China, specialists in the manufacture and trade of medicines appeared.

One of the first Chinese healers, who lived about 5000 years ago, is considered the mythical emperor Shen Nong, who used all kinds of herbs for treatment. According to legend, he left a description of about 70 poisons and antidotes, died at the age of 140, and after death became the deity of pharmacists. He is considered the author of one of the world's oldest "Canon of Roots and Herbs", containing a description of 365 medicinal plants.

According to ancient literary monuments, already 3000 years ago four sections coexisted in Chinese medicine - internal medicine, surgery, dietetics and veterinary medicine. From the XI century BC. veterinary medicine is mentioned as a separate section of medicine (Zhou rituals of the 11th-7th centuries BC), where, along with a description of some animal diseases and methods of their treatment, the connection between the spread of plague and rats and the predominant occurrence and spread of plague and some diseases in port cities.

In later writings, which contain drawn medicinal plants, tools and anatomical drawings, it was prescribed to avoid driving through the area where livestock is killed, methods for the prevention of certain helminthiasis, in particular bovine tapeworm, were recommended.

Development of Veterinary Medicine in India - The medical knowledge of the ancient Hindus traditionally included information about the diseases of people, plants and animals. In ancient India, healers (bhishaj - exorcists) were engaged in the treatment of animals, who gradually turned into healers over time. Veterinarians of ancient India belonged to the highest medical class - Yaidya (he also belonged to the doctors of man). The source of information about the treatment of people and animals in ancient India is a written monument Ayurveda "Knowledge of life", the compilation of which is attributed to the 9th-3rd centuries. BC. This book is an extensive encyclopedia of medical knowledge, where, along with the reflection of priestly medicine and veterinary medicine, there are elements of folk veterinary medicine, based on the centuries-old experience of the people. In Ayurveda ( Ayur - Veda - Sucruta ) describes 760 medicinal plants, methods of using herbal, animal and mineral remedies, and the descriptions of diseases in it are remarkably accurate. In Indian medicine, medicines were distributed according to their action. Emetics, diaphoretics, laxatives, diuretics, narcotic and stimulants were known, which were used in the form of powders, pills, infusions, decoctions, ointments, etc. Treatment of wounds with dressings soaked in oils and acupuncture were widely used. The ancient Hindus knew about smallpox and may have known about the benefits of vaccinations. They described more than 10 surgical instruments and methods for performing surgical operations.

The surgeons of ancient India knew how to sew together fabrics with linen and hemp threads, tendons and horsehair. They stopped bleeding with the help of cold, ash, pressure bandages; for dislocations and fractures of bones, fixed bandages and bamboo splints were used; knew special methods of treatment of burns, ulcers and tumors.

In India, as in other countries of the East, rational forms of disease control were closely intertwined with religious ideas, as evidenced by the Vedas, in particular hymns. Rigveda And Atharvaveda ( 3-2nd millennium BC), containing elements of animal healing, accompanied by prayers and spells.

"Vedas" - collections of domestic and religious prescriptions - contain works of folk epics, often in artistic form, and a code of laws of Manu, which highlights many issues of hygiene and gives recommendations on nutrition, talks about the doctor's responsibility for unsuccessful treatment and gives the amount of fines.

Indian writings on veterinary medicine were translated into Arabic in the Middle Ages and spread to various countries of the East.

Topic 1: "Development of animal husbandry, veterinary medicine in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt"

Another center of the development of veterinary medicine in antiquity, as evidenced by numerous cultural monuments, was the ancient slave-owning states of Mesopotamia (the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, XX-XVII centuries BC), the central part of Mesopotamia - Akkad and southern Sumer - in 2-1 th millennium BC Assyria appeared in the northeastern part of Mesopotamia. In these countries, natural conditions contributed to the development of cattle breeding. Dairy and beef cattle were bred here. Short-legged and long-legged bulls were kept on pasture, fed with grain. Working cattle were used for irrigating the soil, plowing, threshing and transporting goods. For the needs of transport, donkeys were used, sometimes long-legged antelopes were harnessed to the plow. Small cattle were widely distributed - fat-tailed and fine-haired sheep.

In the 2nd millennium BC. the rise of the Babylonian state began, in which by this period a thorough knowledge of veterinary medicine had accumulated. Babylonian veterinarians were aware of diseases whose descriptions suggest that they were anthrax, rinderpest, and rabies. Certain diseases were known to be transmitted from one animal species to another. The first attempts were made to objectively study diseases and actually fight them. The texts of descriptions of diseases contain information about the symptoms and methods of treatment for which various, sometimes very complex medicines were used. The composition of medicines included oil, resin, milk, table salt, wool and body parts of animals, tortoise shell, organs of water snakes.

To combat infectious diseases, sick animals were isolated, livestock buildings were burned, rabid animals were kept on a chain, then they were killed. They closed the borders of states during epizootics, they knew the connection between epizootics and epidemics.

Babylonian doctors knew how to prepare decoctions from plants, made ointments for external use. They knew compresses, massages, bloodletting. Methods for the preparation of drugs have been developed: dissolution, boiling and filtration. Water and oils were widely used for the treatment of animals. Their widespread use is indicated by the fact that the word doctor, including veterinary, literally means “knowing water” and “knowing oil”.

Some information on animal anatomy, which was poorly developed, was associated with sacrifices. Dissections of sacrificial animals gave anatomical knowledge, but only the heart, stomach, lungs and liver were isolated for diagnosis.

Development of veterinary medicine in Egypt

Healing techniques originated in Egypt in 4000 BC. Gradually, with the accumulation of experience over 2000 BC. In Egypt, a rather broad medical specialization developed. The Egyptians had doctors: surgeons, dentists, eye doctors, "other for invisible diseases", veterinarians.

Professional veterinary medicine, which emerged from the bowels of folk veterinary medicine, took on the form of priestly or temple veterinary medicine. In Egypt, thanks to the deification of animals and the belief in the transmigration of souls, veterinary medicine occupied a very honorable place, and healing animals was the privilege of the priestly caste. The social position of doctors was, as a rule, high. So, Khesi-Ra (XXVII-XVI centuries BC), the chief of dentists and doctors, was at the same time the chief scribe of the pharaoh.

The creation of writing led to the emergence of special tests, which are collections with descriptions of various diseases, symptoms of diseases, with indications of methods for recognizing and treating them in humans and animals. Of the surviving papyri, the oldest papyrus is the Kahun (1850 BC) Papyrus, dedicated to women's diseases, also contains a treatise on bird scab, animal rabies, rinderpest and the "shats" disease, the meaning of which has not been deciphered. For 1550 years BC. The two most extensive papyri were compiled: the Smith papyrus, dedicated to surgery and the Ebers papyrus, dedicated to diseases by parts of the body. The content of the papyri is the result of numerous observations, a summary of more ancient materials, a copy and alteration of pre-existing texts that have not survived to our time. The most ancient papyri focused on the empirical rules of treatment, the indication of drugs and almost did not contain religious motifs. Over time, "medicine in Egypt is more and more immersed in witchcraft and mysticism", the texts of the papyri are filled with religious discourse and contain many prayers and magical procedures. The Egyptians believed that the cause of the disease can be both natural and supernatural, i.e. come from the gods and spirits, so the medical art included knowledge of many spells and the ability to deftly and quickly prepare amulets.

According to the beliefs of the Egyptians, the soul of a person continues to exist even after his death, but only on condition that the body is preserved, into which it could move. In order to protect corpses from decomposition, embalming was used, this contributed to the acquisition of knowledge in the field of anatomy. They embalmed not only people (mainly priests and pharaohs), but also deified animals. In Egypt, there was a cult of a bull and a cat, for harming which the legislation provided for the most severe punishment.

In ancient Egypt, a number of anatomical terms were used, which indicates the knowledge of some organs, including the brain, liver, heart, blood vessels. However, knowledge of anatomy and physiology was negligible.

This article will introduce you to the alternative medicine of Tibet, which helps people to completely heal the body from the disease.

From it you will learn:

Distinctive features of Tibetan medicine from traditional.

Let's start with an understanding of what Tibetan medicine is and how it differs from traditional medicine.

Over the course of a number of centuries, a colossal knowledge base has been formed in Tibetan medicine about human nature, about its interaction with the outside world, about what factors and how they affect our health: be it climate, environment, nutrition, lifestyle or constitution.

This experience and knowledge allow us to heal the sick, put them on their feet, balance and harmonize their conditions.

Tibetan medicine absorbed all the knowledge and wisdom of the peoples of the East: India, China and Tibet itself, which laid the foundation for ancient manuscripts. They present tens of thousands of treatments, procedures, medicinal herbs, recipes that allow a person to restore and strengthen their health.

East and West. Different approaches to treatment methods.

What is the fundamental difference in the treatment of the sages of the "East" and our doctors?

Let's start by looking at the current situation in traditional medicine. And the situation is such that most people, in one form or another, have diseases at a chronic level. Chronic tonsillitis, bronchitis, arthritis, gastritis and other diseases.

What does chronic mean?

This means that when a doctor diagnoses you with such a mark, he puts an end to your full recovery in advance. And the whole treatment comes down to the fact that it removes your symptoms, trying, through the use of prescribed drugs and procedures, to increase the duration of remission, i.e. process when strongly pronounced manifestations of the disease are absent or weakened.

The disease remains as it was, and the symptoms are cured by medications, on which the patient sits down for the rest of his life.

A prime example is diabetes mellitus. Like it or not, traditional medicine cannot cure it, so a person will be forced to sit on insulin for life and pay as much as they “say” for it, because his life depends on it.

This also applies to cardiac diseases. Here, in order to live, you need to drink handfuls of pills so that the heart works without failures.

Another example is asthma. Without an inhaler, nowhere, life-threatening.

And there are many such examples when a person becomes a slave to drugs, working for them for life. Many put up with this and until the end of their days they are engaged in daily rituals for taking medicines, replenishing the budgets of pharmaceutical companies.

In traditional medicine, the focus is on the human body. She can learn everything about a person, about what processes are taking place now, what cells and organs consist of, where inflammatory processes take place, how they proceed, the rates of chemical reactions, and even the human genetic code. The body is not a mystery, traditional medicine knows everything about it, but, unfortunately, it is difficult to answer what caused the disease.

Why is this happening? Because the cause of the disease is sought only in the body.

In Tibetan medicine, the issue of illness is approached differently. It is considered not only as a disease of the body, but of higher levels. It has long been noticed in it that the physical diseases of the body definitely arise and develop depending on the psycho-emotional state of a person. Remember the proverb that "all our sores are in the head." The way it is.

Tibetan medicine is well aware of this, so it considers a person as a multi-level system, where the disease can be localized at different levels.

Why don't our doctors, our medicine adopt the techniques and methods of Eastern knowledge? Moreover, psychosomatic factors have been known for a long time and dozens of scientific papers have been written on them?

In business for purposes.

What is the reason? And the reason is different. Traditional medicine does not have the goal of healing the patient, it is a big pharmaceutical business that replenishes pharmaceutical companies and the state treasury with hundreds of millions of dollars. Maybe that's why they so often try to impose various kinds of vaccinations, injections and other “voluntary” treatment on a voluntary and compulsory basis?

The goal of medical organizations is to extend life and improve its quality, but in what ways they are trying to extend life to us and what is the true quality of life after such an extension is a question that worries no one, except perhaps the patient himself.

Why heal a chronically ill person if it is a source of permanent income? After all, if suddenly everyone becomes healthy, then where will all these companies, drugs, doctoral dissertations, vaccines, etc. go? They will go bankrupt, and the state will lose the lion's share of its budget. It is unprofitable for them that we be healthy, because this is their gold mine.

In Tibetan medicine, the task is to heal the patient, to make him healthy. And therefore it works not with the conditions or consequences of the onset of the disease, but with its root cause. After all, look, a person gets sick because there is a reason for that.

And he does not get sick because it is cold or hot, damp or dry, whether there are microbes or not, because then everyone would immediately get sick. He gets sick because in one place and at one time all these conditions converged, which launched the process of the disease, and there was a predisposition, a reason for that.

How does Tibetan medicine work?

Let's move on to Tibetan medicine and take a closer look at what its treatment is based on.

It has already been mentioned above that all diseases arise from our psycho-emotional state. Accordingly, in order to eradicate the disease, it is necessary to understand what emotions we are most susceptible to and how the impulses from them affect our body.

In Tibetan medicine, there are 3 main such impulses that trigger certain reactions in our body. What are these impulses?

We react to everything that happens to us in 3 ways. We either like it, or we don't like it, or we are indifferent to it. Plus, minus, zero.

Each of these impulses affects its systems in the body, first the influence occurs at the energy level, through the energy channels of the body, then it goes to the physical level of the body.

From this influence, certain forms of diseases arise. If we switch to Tibetan terminology, then all our diseases depend on the predominance of one or another of our constitutions (systems).

In accordance with the above impulses, there is a system of "Wind" (plus), "Bile" (minus) and "Plime" (zero).

3 systems that define a person.

Vetra system responsible for everything related to mobility within the body: breathing, movement of the heart, movement of thought, movement of nerve impulses. Accordingly, when this impulse occurs, all organ systems associated with this impulse are immediately activated.

"Bile" system- everything that is connected with the biliary system, with digestion, with the liver, kidneys. The negative reactions caused disrupt the functioning of this system, which leads to the corresponding diseases of the organs.

Slime system associated with the circulation and formation of fluid in the body. Those. the “zero” reaction means that if we do not contact this world, we hide from it, this system turns on and harmful mucus begins to form in the body, containing toxins and slags and creating a favorable environment for microbes. Such mucus can form in the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, respiratory system, in the nasal cavities, in the joints.

Thus, from the predominance of one or another system or constitution, different people have predispositions to various kinds of diseases.

In order to be healthy, you need to keep the level of wind, bile and mucus at the same level, in balance. And the task of Tibetan medicine is precisely to maintain this balance. Health is a balance of 3 systems.

Tibetan medicine has been very successful in balancing these systems. Over many years of practice, all the conditions that rock these systems have been identified: climate, food, emotional reactions, lifestyle, constitution, etc. As well as ways that compensate for these buildups and balance the human system.

Finally

In this article, we got to know Tibetan medicine better, learned how it differs from traditional medicine, what principles, knowledge and experience it guides in healing the human body.

As for traditional medicine, it is indisputably necessary. This need arises in severe cases when a person needs urgent medical care and only taking chemicals or surgery can save his life.

In other cases, Tibetan medicine will help heal your body, harmonize your condition and get rid of chronic diseases. Here they treat the cause, not the effect, remove it, and do not create only a temporary effect of relief.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENT IN TIBETAN MEDICINE

The basic principle of treatment in Tibetan medicine is allopathic, as well as the opposite effect.

The doctor needs to determine invisible symptoms (three vices, affected organs and tissues), season, type of constitution of the patient, his age, manifestations of the disease, weakness and strength of the fire of the stomach, habits.

Since all diseases are based on disorders of the 3 regulatory systems of the body: wind, bile, mucus - they determine them. Disorders from the system are of 3 varieties:

1) exhaustion;

2) accumulation;

3) excitement.

If the disease is based on a violation of the regulation system of the type of accumulation, in the treatment of the disease, agents are used that depress, suppress the accumulation of the system, and in case of disorders of the regulation system of the type of depletion, agents are used that have the ability to stimulate the system. If excitement is the basis of the disease, sedatives are prescribed, as well as cleansing agents.

The allopathic principle in Tibetan medicine uses cold medicines in the treatment of hot diseases and hot medicines in the treatment of cold diseases. Medicinal formulations with properties that are neutral in terms of heat and cold are used in the treatment of pathology without a sharp violation of heat and cold.

Tibetan medicine recommends “pouring four waters on intense heat”: camphor and bloodletting from a small point - water of medicines and procedures, prescribe suitable food - this is diet water, let the patient stay cool - this is lifestyle water.

Destroy severe cold with four fires: make ten warming medicines - this is the fire of medicines, cauterization - the fire of procedures, the fire of the diet - nutritious hot food, the fire of the lifestyle - a warm house and clothes.

It includes:

1) trial treatment;

2) in case of severe illnesses, medicines, procedures, diet and regimen are prescribed;

3) in case of mild illnesses, they start with a diet and streamline the regimen, then move on to drugs and procedures gradually;

4) in case of complex diseases, the balance between them is first restored, then treatment is prescribed.

wind diseases

Wind diseases are treated:

1) decoction of 3 nutritious bones;

2) ferul-3 decoction;

3) nutmeg and ferula powder;

4) oil extracts of meat, garlic and wine;

5) oil of nutmeg, garlic, bones, borscht;

6) decoction of 3 fruits and 5 roots. A therapeutic enema is prescribed from old oil.

Wind sickness with combination of heat and cold. As a medicinal food are used:

1) sesame oil;

2) molasses;

3) dried lamb;

From this it follows that the therapeutic effect in diseases of the wind is provided by means, products that have sweet, sour and salty, as well as a secondary taste: oily and hot.

1) rubbing with old oil;

2) oily compresses on a sore spot, cauterization of wind points on the crown of the head.

Diseases of bile

Diseases of bile are treated:

1) a mixture of camphor, sandalwood;

2) drugs with a sweet, bitter and astringent taste and secondary cold properties. In addition, laxative enemas with drugs that have a taste are prescribed.

1) sweating;

2) bathing;

3) bloodletting from swollen vessels;

4) cool compresses.
