辨体论治当“食药并举,食养为先”

‘Diet and drug should develop simultaneously,the priority was diet therapy' in treatment based on constitution differentiation

有学者将国人体质分为9种类型,提出"辨体论治"的学术思想,强调体质在疾病发生发展转变过程中的重要作用。目前大多数医生仍偏重以药物的寒热温凉属性来纠正体质偏颇。笔者认为,辨体论治当"食药并举,食养为先",应重视膳食调养在疾病防治当中的前锋作用与重要性;展望未来能够将所有食物按性味、归经、功效、主治、相宜相克加以发掘整理,并融入营养学、药理学内容,同时对疾病采用分证食疗,必将取得更好疗效。

Some scholars divided Chinese constitution into 9 types,and put forward the academic thinking of ‘treatment based on constitution differentiation’ which emphasized the importance of constitution in the occurrence,development and transformation of disease.With regard to treatment,most doctors still lay particular stress on cold or heat properties of drugs to regulate biased constitution,so as to improve physical constitution,regulate and treat disease.The author believed that the diet and drug should develop simultaneously,the priority was diet therapy in the treatment based on constitution differentiation.We should pay attention to the pioneering and important role of diet therapy in disease prevention and control.Looking forward to the future,combine all the taste,meridian,efficacy,main treatment,inter-generation and restraint,along with the content of nutrition,and pharmacological research,using diet therapy based on syndrome differentiation will achieve good effect.
