Meridian dredging and dietary therapy combined conditioning method based on nine constitutions in traditional Chinese medicine and application

Abstract

The invention relates to a meridian dredging and dietary therapy combined conditioning method based on nine constitutions in traditional Chinese medicine. Specific meridian beating paths and dietary therapy formulas are respectively designed for nine types of constitution such as mild constitution, qi-deficiency constitution and yang-deficiency constitution, for example, the mild constitution beats gallbladder meridians to be matched with medlar and red date tea, and the qi-deficiency constitution beats lung and spleen meridians to be matched with astragalus membranaceus to stew chicken. A composite physique time-sharing conditioning strategy is innovatively proposed, and conditioning conflicts are effectively avoided by distinguishing a primary and secondary physique sequence implementation scheme. The method significantly improves the physique conditioning effect, and is simple and easy to operate.

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution theory classifies the human body into nine basic constitutions, each with unique physiological and psychological characteristics and disease susceptibility. Current TCM constitution regulation has significant shortcomings: on the one hand, existing techniques often rely solely on meridian stimulation or dietary therapy, failing to fully leverage their synergistic effects; on the other hand, for individuals with complex constitutions, there is a lack of systematic regulation strategies, often leading to conflicting approaches and poor or even counterproductive results. Furthermore, traditional methods often contain vague descriptions of meridian manipulation, lacking objective standards, which affects practical application. Summary of the Invention

[0105] Example 2

[0106] This embodiment provides an application of a combined approach of meridian dredging and dietary therapy based on the nine constitutions of traditional Chinese medicine in complex constitutions.

[0107] Specifically, it refers to a person having two or more physical constitution characteristics at the same time, such as "qi deficiency + phlegm dampness" or "yang deficiency + blood stasis". Due to factors such as diet, stress and environment, complex constitutions are more common among modern people.

[0108] Common types of complex constitutions: Complex constitutions mainly manifest as: Qi deficiency + Yang deficiency (feeling cold, fatigue, shortness of breath); Warming Yang and tonifying Qi (ginseng, astragalus + cinnamon); Yin deficiency + damp heat (dry mouth, acne, yellow urine); Nourishing Yin + clearing heat and promoting diuresis (Ophiopogon japonicus + coix seed); Phlegm-dampness + blood stasis (obesity, thick, greasy tongue coating, dark complexion); Resolving phlegm + promoting blood circulation (tangerine peel + salvia miltiorrhiza); Qi stagnation + blood stasis (depression, dysmenorrhea, purplish tongue); Soothing the liver + promoting blood circulation (bupleurum + safflower).

[0109] Principles of Complex Body Conditioning

[0110] First, adjust the main constitution (e.g., if the main deficiency is Qi, replenish Qi first).

[0111] Also consider secondary constitutions (such as those with phlegm and dampness, in addition to strengthening the spleen and removing dampness).

[0112] Avoid conflicts (such as yin deficiency + damp heat, which should not be excessively tonified).

[0113] Personalized treatment.

[0114] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
