Researches on core concept of 'preventing possible disease' / 中华中医药杂志

ABSTRACT

The theory of'preventing possible disease'in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) is an important content of present theoretical and applied researches in TCM.After learning Daoxue and Chinese medicine,the author believes that ancient people give more attention to vitality than physique.Most of the diseases are caused by the injury of vitality,so the key to 'preventing possible disease'is not only conservation of the physique,but also conservation of the vitality.It is emphasized that the heart can communicate with natural pneuma,and the body can follow the qi transformation of nature when the human body is in the natural state.When one concentrates his spirit internally and keeps a sound mind,the genuine qi will come in the wake of it,and illness can be avoided.Researches on the theory of'preventing possible disease'must not ignore the apprehension and exploration of vitality.
