The basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine mainly includes the theories of

Yin-Yang, The five elements, Zang-fu, Channels and collaterals, Qi, blood and body fluid

This theories show us that the body is a whole and more a person can not be viewed in isolation. It is seen as a microcosm in macrocosm, as a part of its and inseparable from it.

Learn any structure or condition which is under the exact energy control according 5-elements theory

The 5 elements correspond to different aspects of the natural world and the body.

According of 5-elements theory everything in universe and in the human body is divided by 5 elements or 6 energies. And this division is infinite as division of Yin-Yang.

To understand the nature of disease it is very important to learn each energy, that means to learn any structure or condition which is under the exact energy control.

Clinical Methods of modern medicine: The History, Physical, Laboratory and Instrumental Examinations

Four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine namely “Wang, Wen, Wen, Qie”.

Four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine

Pathogenic wind prevails in spring, as do "wind" diseases. Exposure to the wind after sweating, or sleeping in a draught, are important induc ing factors in being affected by pathogenic wind.

Wind, characterized by upward and outgoing dispersion, is a yang pathogenic factor. When it invades the human body from outside, it often attacks the upper portion of the body, weakening the defensive qi and causing derangement in the opening and closing of pores over the-body surface. Clinical symptoms are headache, nasal obstruction, sore ness or itching of the throat, facial puffiness, aversion to wind, and sweating.

Wind occurs in gusts and is characterized by rapid change, patho genic wind being especially so. Diseases caused by wind are marked by migrating pain, their symptoms and signs appearing and disappearing. Onset is abrupt and disappearance sudden, e.g. the migratory joint pain of rheumatic arthritis and urticaria. Wind is characterized by constant movement.Pathogenic wind tends to move constantly,causing abnormal motion or rigidity of the trunk or limbs; clinical manifestations are convulsion, spasm and tremor of the four limbs and stiffness of the neck. Opisthotonos in tetanus and deviation of the eyes and mouth in facial paralysis are both related to this characteristic of pathogenic wind.Wind is apt to associate itself with other pathogenic factors.Pathogenic wind is apt to associate itself with, damp, dryness or heat and form complex pathogenic factors of wind-, wind-damp, wind-dryness or wind-heat. Wind may also be associated with phlegm, pro ducing a wind-phlegm syndrome.

Heat, fire and mild heat are all yang pathogenic factors. They are of the same nature but different in intensity. Among them, fire is the most severe and mild heat the least severe.

Summer heat: Diseases caused by pathogenic summer heat occur only in summer. Onset is often due to prolonged exposure to blazing sun on hot days, or staying in a hot room with poor ventilation. Summer heat consumes qi and yin and may disturb the mind. Summer heat is a yang pathogenic factor. Its features are upward direc tion and dispersion. Invasion of summer heat may cause excessive sweat ing, thirst, shortness of breath, lassitude, and concentrated urine. In severe cases, there may be high fever, restlessness, red dry skin, and such mental symptoms as abrupt onset of delirium or coma. Summer heat often combines with damp to cause disease, as rain often accompanies the heat of summer. Manifestations are dizziness, a heavy sensation of the head, suffocating feeling in the chest, nausea, poor appetite, diarrhea, and general sluggishness. Heat, like summer heat, is also characterized by dispersion, damaging yin with a tendency to go inward to disturb the mind. The following are some special features related to pathogenic heat: Invasion by heat is apt to stir up wind and cause disturbance of blood. Excess of pathogenic heat exhausts the yin of the liver and causes mal nutrition of the tendons and channels. Manifestations are high fever ac companied by coma and delirium, convulsion, stiffness of the neck, opisthotonos, and eyes staring upward. This is known as "extreme heat stirring up the wind". Pathogenic heat may cause extravasation by dis turbing the blood. Manifestations of hemorrhage may appear, such as hematemesis, epistaxis and skin eruptions. This is called "excessive heat disturbing the blood". Invasion by heat tends to cause skin infection. Surgical cases, such as carbuncle, furuncle, boil and ulcer with local redness, swelling, hotness and pain are caused mainly by pathogenic heat.

Pathogenic damp occurs mainly in the late summer rainy season. Such diseases usually follow the wearing of clothing wet with rain or sweat, dwelling in a low-lying and damp place, or being in frequent contact with water during work.

Damp is characterized by heaviness and turbidity. Damp is a substantial pathogenic factor which is weighty in nature. Its invasion of the body often gives rise to such symptoms as heaviness and a sensation of distension in the head, as though it were tightly bandaged. There is also dizziness, general lassitude, fullness in the chest and epigas trium, nausea, vomiting, and a stickiness and sweetish taste in the mouth. Dampness is intense itching deep in the skin.

Pathogenic damp is foul in nature. Its invasion often causes skin diseases, abscesses and oozing ulcers, massive leukorrhea of purulent na ture with foul odour, turbid urine, etc. Damp is characterized by viscosity and stagnation. Diseases caused by pathogenic damp are often lingering. Fixed bi syndrome (included is rheumatoid arthritis and epidemic en cephalitis are examples.

Invasion of pathogenic dryness often occurs in late autumn when moisture is lacking in the atmosphere.

Pathogenic dryness is apt to consume yin fluid, especially the yin of the lung. Clinical manifestations are dry, rough and chapped skin, dry ness of the mouth and nose, dryness and soreness of the throat, dry cough with little sputum, etc. Dryness is characterized with strong itching (but instead of Dampness it is superficially itching) and over growing of hairs.

Pathogenic cold is prevalent in winter, as are diseases of cold. In the cold season, too little clothing, exposure to cold after sweating, and being caught in wind and rain provide chances for the development of patho genic cold.

Cold is a yin pathogenic factor and is likely to consume yang qi.Cold is a manifestation caused by excess yin and therefore is a yin pathogenic factor. When the yang qi of the body is consumed by cold, it will lose its normal function of promoting body warmth, and clinical manifestations of cold will appear, such as chills, shivering, cold limbs, pallor, diarrhea with undigested food in the stool and clear urine in in creased volume.

Cold is characterized by contraction and stagnation. Invasion by pathogenic cold may cause contraction of channels and col laterals and retardation of circulation of qi and blood. Symptoms are pain of a cold nature and numbness of extremities. Cold may also cause closing of pores with manifestations of chills and anhidrosis.
