“无为而治”思想对现代医疗的启示意义

Significance of The “Govern by Doing Nothing That Goes Against Nature”Thought in Modern Medical Clinic

道家思想是中医学重要的理论来源之一,但关于其中"无为而治"思想运用于中医学方面的研究较少。参考中医学"正邪相搏"引起人体"阴阳失衡"而致病的思路探讨"无为而治"的思想内涵,可以发现很多疾病可以采取"无为而治"的应对策略。在现代医疗环境下,研究和推广"无为而治"思想对于促进大众合理养生保健、提高医务人员诊疗水平、引导患者尊重医务人员和医疗行为、防止过度医疗和不必要医疗以及构建和谐社会均具有积极意义。

Most TCM theory originated from the theory of Taoist in ancient times. However,little literature has been focused on the enlightening significance of the thought＂Governing by Noninterference＂to TCM. In TCM theory,struggling between healthy qi and pathogen induces imbalance of yin and yang in human body,which further causes diseases. Thus,a large number of diseases could be treated under the guidance of this thought. Research and application of this thought in modern medicine may be helpful to improve reasonable health management and medical services,instruct the patients to respect medical personnel and their medical practice,avoid excessive and unnecessary treatment,and construct the socialism harmonic.
