What is Science? Can TCM be measured by scientific standards? Is philosophy a science? Why?

Hello, Chinese medicine is broad and profound, not only is it not pseudoscience, but there are many miraculous curative effects that cannot be explained by science, which is the default and unexplainable fact of many scientists.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a traditional Chinese medicine, which is rooted in the soil of ancient Chinese culture, and is a traditional medicine formed by the working people of the Chinese nation in the practice of life and production, which has a unique theoretical system, style and rich experience in diagnosis and treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine inherits the experience and theory of the ancient Chinese ancestors, takes the theory of yin and yang as the theoretical basis, takes the overall concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment as an important means, is people-oriented, takes the viscera meridians as the physiological and pathological basis, and explores the disease, disease location, and disease nature through "looking, hearing, asking, and cutting", and uses simple Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture and other methods to improve the disease.

Characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine:

1. Traditional Chinese medicine is a practical medicine, and its theory is derived from the summary of rich practical experience, and is constantly enriched and developed.

2. Holistic ConceptTCM believes that the human body is an organic whole, and attaches great importance to the unity of man and the natural world, and the unity of man and social environment.

3. Perpetual Concept Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all matter is in eternal motion, so the study of human life activities, health and disease and other medical questions should hold the viewpoint of movement, change and development, rather than the immutable, static and rigid viewpoint.

4. Syndrome differentiation and treatment, also known as syndrome differentiation and treatment. TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment refers to the use of the four methods of looking, smelling, asking and cutting to understand the patient's condition, clarify the main symptoms of the main disease, conduct a comprehensive analysis, and then formulate a complete and systematic plan.

The so-called science is a knowledge system that reflects the objective laws of nature, society, and thinking. The essential characteristics of science are the objectivity of seeking truth from facts and the correctness of practice. The validity of correctness is the premise and reflection of correctness.

It can be seen that as long as science loses its effectiveness in practice, it will also lose the meaning and value of existence, so practice is not only the test of truth but also the only criterion for science.

The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine is a visible fact, and the backward technical means of traditional Chinese medicine are by no means a sign of its ideological and theoretical errors and backwardness. As long as there is an objective role in the presentation of the simple substance, it is an objective proof of its existence. This is just as before the discovery of a new elementary particle "quark", you cannot deny its objective existence just because you can't find it at that time, and thus deny the correctness of its existing theories.

The same goes for meridians.

Today's science is only a summary of mankind's perception of yesterday, not the ultimate of tomorrow's science. It can be seen that neither empirical nor quantitative methods can exclude the existence of other correct methods.

The academic theories of TCM are broad, profound, mature and comprehensive, not only the basic theories are integrated into various disciplines, but also the classical theories transcend time and space, and the ability of self-proof and self-interpretation is still strong. It is compatible with practice, and the clinical efficacy is commendable, and it has been tested for thousands of years and countless cases, which shows that its reproducibility is reliable. Chinese medicine is the greatest and most practical science!

I wish you good health.

This is a controversial topic where different people have different opinions.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years as a traditional medicine and is widely used in China and other Asian countries.

TCM theory is based on experience and practice and encompasses many complex concepts and theories. Some people believe that TCM is a proven system of medicine that can provide effective methods and preventive measures.

However, there are also some people who believe that TCM theories lack scientific evidence to support and have not undergone rigorous clinical trials and research, so they are considered a pseudoscience.

In conclusion, this is a very complex issue that requires judgment based on an individual's beliefs and experiences.

The status of TCM in the medical profession varies depending on factors such as region, culture, and history. In China, TCM is a traditional medical system that has been around for thousands of years and plays an important role in the country's healthcare system.

In Western countries, the status of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively low, but with the gradual spread of traditional Chinese medicine theory and **, traditional Chinese medicine has been recognized and accepted in some countries and regions. Overall, the status of TCM in the medical profession is complex and diverse, and needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

The strength of TCM lies in its unique theoretical system and **, which have been widely applied and recognized in China and some other countries and regions.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the holistic concept, believes that the human body and the natural environment are a unified whole, emphasizes the comprehensiveness of prevention and development, pays attention to the formulation of individualized programs, and pays attention to the mental health of patients in the process of disease and disease.

The disadvantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that its method takes a long time, and the efficacy is not as obvious as the current Sendai medicine, and the advantage of traditional Chinese medicine lies in its focus on overall observation and efficiency, emphasizing the interaction between the body and the environment, emotions and other factors, and the advantage of being able to fundamentally regulate and traditional Chinese medicine lies in its unique theoretical system and moxibustion, including acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, massage, qigong, etc.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the integrity and balance of the human body, pays attention to prevention and regulation, and can effectively ** many chronic diseases and incurable diseases, and at the same time has a good effect on health care and health maintenance.

The disadvantages of TCM lie in the limitations of its theory and practice, including the lack of rigorous scientific evidence, the difficulty in quantifying the effect, and the difficulty in curative effect.

In addition, TCM requires long-term treatment and personalized blending, as well as close cooperation and trust between patients and doctors, which can bring certain challenges to the modern fast-paced lifestyle and medical system. Finally, there are certain differences in the concepts and methods of TCM and Western medicine, which need to be selected and weighed by doctors and patients according to specific situations.

This issue is controversial, and there is still a great deal of controversy about whether TCM is regarded as a pseudoscience. My opinion is:

1.TCM theories need to be tested. The theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, such as the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, the theory of meridians, etc., is weak in scientificity and lacks systematic scientific evidence. This makes it difficult for the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine to fully fit with modern science, and there are certain pseudo-scientific characteristics.

2.The reliability of some of the best means is questionable. The mechanism of the efficacy of the best methods used in traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture and herbal medicine, is still unclear, and the clinical effect is also controversial. This makes it difficult to guarantee the reliability of some TCM methods, which needs to be further studied and verified.

3.It should be regarded as traditional medicine rather than scientific medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a history of more than 2,000 years and belongs to ancient traditional medicine, rather than modern scientific medicine.

Because its theories and methods are different from modern science, they cannot be completely measured from a scientific point of view, and are more suitable for understanding and cognition as a traditional medicine.

4.The effectiveness of treatment varies greatly from person to person. There are large individual differences in the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, which has significant efficacy for some populations and little effect on others.

This also makes it difficult to judge the reliability and ientific nature of TCM. However, this does not affect the actual effect of traditional Chinese medicine for some people.

5.It can be used as a supplemental means. Despite the above-mentioned problems, Zhongzhi sedan medicine can be used as a useful supplement to modern medicine, providing another option for some diseases and achieving certain results. The two medicines can be integrated and developed and learn from each other.

In summary, the reliability of TCM theories and some first-class methods is still controversial, and there are great differences in their efficacy, which makes it difficult for TCM to fully meet the requirements of scientific medicine. However, as an ancient traditional medicine, traditional Chinese medicine still has its best value for some people, and it can also be integrated with modern medicine to play a complementary role. Therefore, whether to regard TCM as a pseudoscience still needs to weigh different views and comprehensively consider its theory and practice.

1. Primary Chinese medicine is science.

Two: Advanced Chinese medicine is based on the balance of yin and yang as the core of the conditioning**, with the Yellow Emperor's internal classic "Book of Changes" as the root, all great Chinese medicine must be masters of Chinese culture. The highest level of science is philosophy.

Three: Traditional Chinese medicine generally refers to the medicine based on traditional medicine created by the working people of the Han nationality in China, so it is also called Chinese medicine. It is a discipline that studies human physiology, pathology, and the diagnosis and prevention of diseases.

Traditional Chinese medicine was born in a primitive society, and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine has been basically formed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has been summarized and developed in successive dynasties. In addition, it has had a profound influence on the countries in the Chinese character cultural circle, such as Japanese Kampo medicine, Korean Korean medicine, Korean Korean medicine, and Vietnamese Eastern medicine, all of which were developed on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine. [

Traditional Chinese medicine carries the experience and theoretical knowledge of the ancient Chinese people in the struggle against diseases, and is a medical theoretical system gradually formed and developed through long-term medical practice under the guidance of ancient simple materialism and spontaneous dialectical thinking. [1]

Traditional Chinese medicine takes the five elements of yin and yang as the theoretical basis, regards the human body as the unity of qi, form and spirit, and explores the pathogenesis, disease nature, disease location, analysis of the pathogenesis and the changes of the five internal organs, meridians and joints, qi, blood and fluid in the human body, and then derives the name of the disease, summarizes the syndrome type, and formulates the treatment method of "sweating, spitting, lowering, harmony, warming, clearing, replenishing, and eliminating" with the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and uses traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, cupping, qigong, diet therapy, etc. means, so that the human body to achieve the harmony of yin and yang.

On October 1, 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) included TCM in its medical compendium with global influence for the first time.

Traditional Chinese medicine includes both scientific and philosophical content, and the scientific category belongs to the scientific category, and the dialectical treatment belongs to the philosophical category.

Hello, you have this question, I personally think that Chinese medicine is actually a science, and there are endless mysteries in it.

Chinese medicine should be a science, not a philosophy!

You may think that the balance of yin and yang advocated by traditional Chinese medicine and the balance of internal qi in the body are a little too empty, but these things are indeed concepts that will be mentioned when you see a doctor in traditional Chinese medicine, and they can indeed make our body healthier if they are used wellTraditional Chinese medicine is biased towards the maintenance of the body, that is, health preservation, but health preservation is not longevity, it can only be said that human beings can better conform to nature rather than change nature.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not a science, but it should be regarded as a discipline science, which should be verifiable by experiments, but Chinese medicine generally only has an effect and does not incorporate the results of such experiments in the West.

Traditional Chinese medicine is also a kind of science, science is science and technology and a new social discipline that confirms the conclusion of theory and practice, and science can bring people progress.

Before the sixties, Chinese medicine was passed down from teacher to father, there were many old Chinese medicine in the past, how much culture was there, all of them were studying medicine and learning culture, and now, studying medicine and higher literature, medical university, in the first time of seeing a doctor, can it be better than the old Chinese medicine before, Chinese medicine is a craft, regardless of the level of culture, and medical skills are passed on.

To be precise, Chinese medicine is not science, science is to first have a hypothesis, and then verify whether this hypothesis is correct through continuous experiments.

Traditional Chinese medicine is summarized according to practice and has certain scientific principles. Science refers to the study of different disciplines and a complete body of knowledge.
