Introduction to Oriental Medicine
Influenced by China and the West, as well as its own special historical development experience, Vietnam's traditional medical care has formed the current coexistence pattern of oriental medicine, western medicine, traditional medicine and modern medicine. The Vietnamese call China North, and it is South itself, so Chinese medicine is called North medicine, the local medicine in Vietnam is South medicine, and western medicine is Western medicine. Compared with western medicine, medicine in China and Viet Nam belongs to the East, so it can be divided into eastern medicine and western medicine. In addition, there are witchcraft and religious treatments. In Vietnam, the treatment of ordinary families mainly uses southern medicine and buys western medicine from pharmacies; Traditional doctors in rural areas mainly use southern medicine; The traditional oriental medicine mainly uses northern medicine. There are two kinds of doctors in national medical institutions: eastern medicine and western medicine. Oriental medicine doctors in public hospitals need to study medicine and obtain a doctor's license. They often use the methods of northern medicine and southern medicine mentioned above for treatment. Among the drugs used in classical medical hospitals, southern medicine and northern medicine account for 80% ~ 90%, and western medicine accounts for 10% ~ 20%. In addition, there are acupuncture, massage, physical therapy and other treatments. Therefore, as an eastern doctor, you should not only have knowledge of southern medicine, northern medicine, acupuncture, massage and physiotherapy, but also have some knowledge of western medicine. There is no clear division of labor among medical experts, and it is often a doctor who has mastered many different treatment methods. The hospital also carries out various research and development work, such as the use of new instruments such as electroacupuncture. From the perspective of western medicine, doctors in eastern medicine also examine patients one by one to explore the efficacy of various traditional treatment methods. In addition, basic and clinical trials were conducted to verify the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of southern drugs. For example, it is confirmed that the water extract of sappan wood contains Brazilian hematoxylin, and its tablets can be used to treat cholera and enteritis; The relationship between China's Yin-Yang theory, time theory and biological rhythm was studied. It can be seen that Vietnam is constantly carrying out research to improve traditional medical care.
