Aesthetics of traditional Chinese medicine is a new discipline of traditional Chinese medicine, which aims at bodybuilding and intersects with many basic clinical disciplines. Its task is to study the prevention and treatment of diseases that damage beauty, correct or cover up the physiological defects that damage beauty, and explore anti-aging and beauty-care methods under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the theory of human cosmetology with China characteristics, so as to maintain the physical beauty of the human body.
Beauty can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Beauty in a narrow sense only refers to the beautification and modification of the five senses, while beauty in a broad sense refers to the beautification of the whole body including the face, beard and hair, body and limbs. Beauty in TCM cosmetology is beauty in a broad sense.
Aesthetics in a broad sense is the same as bodybuilding. Bodybuilding, that is, beauty based on health, is a comprehensive evaluation of human facial features, hair and claws, muscle color, posture and behavior according to health standards, aesthetic standards, age and gender characteristics. Physical health is the basis of beautiful appearance of human body, which shows that all tissues and organs of human body are well developed and function normally. Only with this condition can the human body have rosy and shiny skin, elastic muscles, straight body and agile movements, thus giving people an additive with beautiful appearance. A person with a good mental state can be cheerful and generous, adding a kind of temperament beauty to people. At the same time, good psychology can delay people's aging, health and beauty, which may not appear in one person at the same time. Generally speaking, beautiful people should be healthy at the same time, and healthy people don't necessarily have beautiful appearances. One of the main tasks of medical beauty is to create beautiful conditions for people and repair and shape people by medical means.
Section 2 the overall concept of beauty in traditional Chinese medicine
The beauty theory of traditional Chinese medicine is a theoretical system with the overall concept of traditional Chinese medicine as the guiding ideology and dialectical treatment as the means of diagnosis and treatment. The whole concept includes two aspects: one is the unity of the human body itself; The second is the dependence and coordination between human body and nature.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that man is an organic whole, centering on the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, relying on the meridian system all over the body and inside and outside, connecting the six internal organs such as large intestine, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, stomach and triple energizer, as well as limbs, five senses, nine orifices, bones, nails and fur. Through the function of essence, blood and body fluid, such as the theory of Tibetan image in traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the heart governs blood, and the complexion is bright, the heart is full, the blood is full, and the pulse reaches Tongli, so the complexion is ruddy and shiny; On the other hand, if you have a guilty conscience, lack of blood, and unfavorable pulse, you will look pale or even gray. The lung governs qi, and the essence is lost in fur. When the lung functions normally, Wei Qi, body fluids and Shui Gu can be applied to the skin and hair to make the skin moist and dense. Have the power to resist external evils, make hair bright and moist, and add vitality to people. If the lung is weak due to qi deficiency, it will lead to withered hair, and it is easy to feel the invasion of evil spirits, making people look depressed. Spleen governs transportation and muscle, and its beauty lies in the lips. With a healthy temper, people have good nutritional status, rosy complexion, full muscles, vigorous movements and rosy lips. The liver governs deflation, which is normal. When the whole body is unobstructed and qi and blood are harmonious, people's spirit will be refreshed, their mood will be relaxed, their skin color will be normal, and their nails will be shiny and resilient. If the qi in the middle of the month is dry and uncomfortable or the liver is depressed and stagnant, irritability, depression, blue or black complexion, brown patches, dry nails, soft and thin nails, and even fragile deformation may occur. Kidney stores essence, which controls growth and development. The whole life process of its ups and downs, human growth and development, and aging is closely related to kidney. Kidney is full of vitality and kidney essence, while people are full of energy, vigor, black hair, youthful appearance and permanent youth. If the kidney is deficient in essence, people will be listless, listless, their hair will turn gray early, their appearance will be aging, and they will be old and weak. Therefore, the beauty of traditional Chinese medicine can not be separated from the fundamental method of whole body conditioning, and various means are often used to fully mobilize the positive factors in the human body to achieve the beauty purpose of preventing and treating diseases, resisting aging and beauty beauty, which makes the beauty of traditional Chinese medicine closely related to many disciplines. From the perspective of basic disciplines, cosmetology of traditional Chinese medicine involves basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, pharmacology, prescription science, meridian science, acupoint science and traditional Chinese medicine nutrition. From the perspective of clinical disciplines, it involves TCM dermatology, TCM internal medicine, TCM ophthalmology, TCM otolaryngology, gynecology, acupuncture, massage, TCM qigong and so on.
The above subjects are inextricably linked with traditional Chinese medicine cosmetology. In the process of its own development, under the premise of social needs, the edge of beauty-related disciplines has sprouted. Such as skin beauty, ophthalmology beauty, oral and maxillofacial beauty, acupuncture beauty, qigong beauty and so on. Then, under the catalysis of social demand, various disciplines crossed, resulting in modern Chinese medicine cosmetology with human beauty as the object. The development of basic disciplines and clinical disciplines laid the foundation for TCM cosmetology, which stood at a higher starting point as soon as it came into being.
The third section is the research significance and significance of traditional Chinese medicine beauty.
Research scope
First, the research significance of TCM cosmetology
Traditional Chinese medicine cosmetology is a new discipline that adapts to the transformation of medical model. It will occupy an important position in the field of traditional Chinese medicine at the beginning of this century and make an important contribution to the world health care.
1. TCM cosmetology has a broad development prospect.
Contemporary medicine is in the process of changing from biomedical model to biological, psychological and social medical model, which makes people rethink the concept of health. 1978 international primary health care conference clearly defined health as: "health is not only the concealment of disease and infirmity, but also the perfect state of physical and mental health and social happiness." This new concept shows that the goal of medicine is not only to maintain people's survival, but to further improve people's quality of life, so that people can survive more perfectly and harmoniously in three aspects: body, spirit and adaptation to society.
Under the new medical model, there are "fourth state people", namely "non-disease state", "unhealthy state" and "non-rehabilitation state". Because of their self-awareness, these people are in an "imperfect state" psychologically and socially, and have a strong need to improve their own beauty. People from the other three states serve them in clinical medicine, preventive medicine and rehabilitation medicine. Undoubtedly, this "fourth person" can only be served by medical beauty. Therefore, medical cosmetology, including traditional Chinese medicine cosmetology, is the need of social and medical development and has broad prospects.
2. Beauty of TCM enriches the academic system of TCM.
Traditional Chinese medicine is an ancient discipline, and medical cosmetology is a brand-new discipline. Traditional Chinese medicine cosmetology is a new bud of an old tree, which is of great significance for enriching the academic system of traditional Chinese medicine and enhancing the vitality of traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, it is very necessary and important to study the beauty of Chinese medicine from the needs of society, holistic medicine and Chinese medicine, and the development of holistic medicine and Chinese medicine itself.
Second, the research scope of traditional Chinese medicine beauty
The subject and object of TCM beauty is human health. "Health" includes physical health and mental health. "Beauty" includes physical beauty and spiritual beauty. Therefore, the research scope of TCM cosmetology is extensive, which can be roughly divided into the following six categories:
