About six thousand years ago, the submission of all the civilizations of "healthy lifestyle" were about the same: you want to be healthy - seek harmony in everything. But in the XI century BC under the influence of European medicine religion he decided to go on "their way." Today in search of health, we are increasingly looking to the East ...
Modern medicine - western "drug" and eastern "natural" - continues to have little in common. No answer, what is more effective: recipes thousand years ago or the latest technology. However, if you look at the statistics - in Asian countries is much less than in Europe, people die from cardiovascular diseases and cancer problems, several times less likely to suffer from diabetes, hypertension and impotency ... Perhaps only to infectious diseases all people are equal.
What is the difference?
The principal difference between the so-called "western" and " Eastern "medicine It lies in the fact that "Westerners" think the aim to cure the suffering body, and "Easterners" are confident that he will recover as soon as the whole body with harmony.
Some skeptics believe that Oriental medicine is not unfounded, since it does not rely on classical anatomy and physiology, in contrast to Western. Oriental doctors say naked anatomy without a spiritual component like a car without gasoline - a set of components that will not go anywhere. The circulation of vital energy and human life as an integral part of the universe - the basic idea of all the Eastern medical practices.
Medicine is not for everyone
Incidentally, there is a certain category of people, it is immune to the eastern methods. As a rule, it turns out in the first session, and then the doctor himself (if he is not a charlatan) is obliged to abandon the treatment. As they say Oriental doctors Sometimes people internally as opposed to therapy, so drowns favor skepticism that feels worse after sessions. Simply put - go to Asian therapists need only with an open heart. But for this we need a very responsible approach to the choice of hospitals and doctors.
The main disadvantage of "kitayschiny" and "indiyschiny" ...
Alas, Russia is practically impossible to distinguish yourself is really a true professional Oriental Medicine from the charlatan or simply ill-prepared self-taught. Hundreds of clinics offer services for "acupuncture", "cleansed chakras" and "normalization of life energy" - and how to find out where a team of true professionals?
Until now, the surest way is, sadly, "word of mouth" - no "licenses" and "certificates" will not help to calculate the true physician. There are a few points that you should pay attention:
- During the first visit a real doctor should ask not only your current physical condition, and emotional balance, mood;
- If this is the doctor of Chinese medicine, it must ask your heart rate and breathing rhythm;
- Most importantly - the treatment is given progressively, not "heap", as they like European doctors.
Being determines consciousness - or vice versa?
Whatever it was, referring to the Chinese or Indian Traditional Medicine we must be prepared to work hard on their own - and this is also a fundamental principle. In the Western tradition, the doctor treats the patient, and the patient is required only to groan, to complain and to ingest the drug. In the East - on the contrary. Complaining can not be more than that - it is literally deadly. We must always think of good and light, to try to reach inside themselves spiritual purity and harmony - and only on the background of this very harmony begins recovery occurs. Famous meditation - both religious and medical - originally were intended simply to "restore order" in thoughts and feelings. Until now, specialists in ancient Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic believe that as long as one does not get rid of inside the most murderous feelings - envy, jealousy and resentment - vital energy Qi (or Chi) will not be able to circulate freely, and recovery will not occur.
There is another reason that stops a resident of a European metropolis - in order to get the effect of Oriental Medicine Often need a lot of time - weeks or even months. It is believed that the disease destroys a person for a long time, and to restore integrity to the same need considerable period. And it is more difficult to organize than drink three-day course of antibiotics ... powerful
Emergency Medicine
Of course, as in every ancient teachings, in some areas of ancient Chinese and Ayurveda has its extreme flow. They are related, as a rule, a very painful and unsafe manipulation (with the ignition, acupuncture, massage risky), or the use of hazardous substances - poisons of animal and vegetable origin.
Alas, we must say at once that meet in the capital or in the middle lane Russia specialist who can competently carry out such a course of treatment, it is practically impossible ...
Can effectively be safe?
At least one famous oriental teaching about healthy lifestyle guaranteed to be safe - it Ayurveda . It is interesting - despite the fact that this teaching has nearly seven thousand years, there is still no scientific evidence of the academic effectiveness of Ayurvedic principles. But they could not challenge any scientist. In general, I do not know how, but Ayurvedic methods of healing work and never harm a person. Based on the doctrine of the balance of all the natural elements in a man - each man belonged to only one of these very elements. Methods Ayurveda often look quite paradoxical and strange. However, in the hands of a knowledgeable person, they literally work wonders.
Basic principles of preservation of health in the Eastern
1. Comply with the purity of body, mind and soul.
2. The main symptom of any illness - anxiety.
3. Health in motion.
4. Do you want to stretch the life - stretch the muscles and ligaments.
5. Before you swallow extra - get rid of the existing.
The impetus for the development of most of the "diseases of civilization" (especially depression and chronic fatigue syndrome) Oriental physicians consider the refusal of the human biological clock in favor of "social". Failures in health begin with the failure of biorhythms, which each person individually.
Another interesting point - at a time when European doctors for the treatment of a disease offers a person to add something to your life, eastern physicians recommend the opposite - from something denied. "Man kills superfluous" - one of the basic tenets, in particular, the Indian doctors. And this is the most superfluous - each his own. Incidentally, it is therefore Eastern medicine there is clearly useful and uniquely harmful substances - someone very nature ordered to eat fat and drink his beer ...
Ivan Kulakov, an expert in Ayurveda:
- On the one hand, indeed, harm the body, using the methods Oriental Medicine , almost impossible . On the other hand, not every modern European, and especially - the Russians are so able to concentrate on the inner spiritual work on yourself: after treatment begins with the recognition of his own wrong to the world - and it is a very painful moment! In addition, in order to really noticeably improve the quality of their lives with the help of Eastern practices, it is necessary to take their internal philosophy and logic: it is impossible, for example, to make ten sessions of acupuncture and the only reason to become healthy . Beverages "Chinese teas," will have no effect if during the ceremony you look at the monitor, or swear by phone with the chief . And expensive treatments with valuable oils and incense will not bring you absolutely no good if you do them in a working lunch . As long as you do not begin to make personal volitional effort to to get better (rather than cure, for example, ulcers) - no Oriental medicine You do not heal.
