Understand scientifically " Medicine eats the homology "
Statement that traditional medical science and cooking culture of our country all have medicine that eat the homology, the medicine eats the same, this is the experience that our ancestor summarizes out in the historical long river. But on propaganda materials such as some explanation, introduction, advertisement about food,etc. in recent years, often abuse " Medicine eats the homology " The means that this concept promotes as the food, make it take strong advertising color, misled consumers from then on. So, we must be to " homology that medicine eat " There is a correct understanding. The mankind consumes various animals and plants, take in energy and nutrition and usually survive from it. And traditional Chinese medicine medicine, minority are mineral, the majority is the organism of the animals and plants too. Then how did food and medicine split up? Ancient times, ahead of the people, dare, explore bold in putting things into practice, they taste thousands upon thousands animals and plants, can find most animals and plants full belly, life of keeping, and there is no " bias " ,Namely the organism does not have obvious physiological change after eating, are suitable for eating for a long time. This part of animals and plants is included in the food. Meanwhile, find too that some animals and plants have " bias " ,The normal physiological change that eats, influences the organism, may cause some responses, even have certain toxicity, are not obviously suitable for eating at ordinary times. But in the conscientious practice, find in surprise it has certain treatment and recovery function to organism some diseases, symptoms, practised repeatedly, has found gradually that there are medicines curing function. The assortment of the animals and plants is very abundant on the earth, among them there the one that can eat, also it can be medical to have, some have not been known by people yet, have remained to explore, try tasting, selecting for use, this course has not been over yet. With the development of science and technology, the mankind can find the new food, if the mankind rely on advanced instrument and equipment, new medicine. So, look from food and medicine this, they are the same, namely" medicine eats the homology " . The difference of the sexual flavor of traditional Chinese medicine, should construct and manage dialectically according to nature. Chinese medicine theory,food getting more sexual too bad smell return by,it is drift along to go up and down. Different food, have the intersection of fever and chills and warm cool difference of four, have hard the intersection of sweetness and bitterness and salty sour difference of the five flavours. While eating,if can according to sex of food bad smell,because people because when select for use,getting getting more favorable to more health. The medicine should be used dialectically, the food can construct the food dialectically too, the theoretical foundation of the two is unanimous. But they are still discriminating, the sex bad smell of the food is comparatively gentle and pure, the person of different physique eats the same food, without obvious uncomfortable sense, but the medicine has certain indication and taboo range, its side effect is comparatively obvious, the folk adage is said: " three fen of all medicines is poisonous " It is this reason. Recently, some scientists in foreign country propose choosing the food to be favorable to the health according to people's physique. This view, our ancestor has known for a long time, and summarize a set of " food therapies " Theory. According to macroscopic, traditional Chinese medicine, food origin, property have something in common, but the function to the human body is different, say medicine eats homology, the same, absolutely not mean the food of medicine is not divided, intension and function of the food of medicine are different, must add and distinguish severely.
