从气血理论谈中医养生之法

Discussion on Health-Preservation Theories of TCM by the Method of Balancing the Qi and Blood

气血理论是中医的基本理论,气血是构成人体的最基本物质。人的生、长、壮、老、已的生命历程就是气血由弱转强、继之由盛转衰的过程。气血的变化对于人体的生理、病理、治疗具有重要的作用。《黄帝内经》说:"气血充盈,百病不生。气血失和,百病乃变化而生"。著名医家朱丹溪在《血证论》中说:"气为血之帅,血随之而运行,血为气之守,气得之而静谧"。气血失和是百病丛生的根源,中医养生一贯重视人体气血的动态平衡,强调养生就要做到"顺四时而适寒暑,和喜怒而安居处",传统中医学家发明了运动、理疗、调节饮食、药物养治等诸多调和人体气血的养生之法,帮助人体气血和谐,"疏其血气,令其调达,而致和平",以达到健康长寿的目的。
