Medicina traditionala

Terapiile in medicina traditionala erau aplicate pentru tratarea bolilor corpului uman in practica medicala traditionala a marilor civilizatii: egipteana, chineza, tibetana, indiana, tracica, persana, amerindiana etc. Unele practici au supravietuit timpului, iar maestrii medicinei traditionale le utilizeaza in tratamentele lor, incercand sa mentina protocolul de tratament si metodologia de administrare descrisa de civilizatiile stravechi.

Stramosii nostri foloseau plantele medicinale ca baza de tratament si amplificau actiunea substantelor curative cu ajutorul acupuncturii, termoterapiei, masajului, activitatii fizice, meloterapiei, psihoterapiei etc. Acest ansamblu de terapii actioneaza asupra corpului fizic, sufletului si creierului, eliminand in primul rand cauzele si apoi efectele secundare ale bolii.

Din perioada studentiei, in cadrul facultatii de medicina, am studiat aceste concepte, realizand treptat ca aceasta  ramura a medicinei este singura care poate oferi unui medic, mecanismele necesare pentru a actiona complex asupra unei boli si pentru restabilirea starii de sanatate a pacientului. Am realizat, de asemenea, ca terapiile medicinei traditionale si medicamentele naturiste sunt singurele care pot trata bolile organismului uman fara efecte adverse, actionand asupra celor trei dimensiuni ale fiintei umane: fizica, energetica si mentala. Abordand din perspectiva holistica corpul uman, tratamentele traditionale actioneaza asupra acestui ansamblu si trateaza la nivel individual fiecare organ in parte, cat si sistemul din care face parte; ceea ce prin terapiile moderne nu se poate realiza, intrucat tratamentele vizeaza echilibrarea unui organ, fara a avea in vedere ansamblul din care face parte si dezechilibrele existente la nivelul altor organe.

In cazurile de urgenta este recomandat sa se intervina chirurgical sau pentru stabilizarea pacientului prin metode alopate de tratament (cum este cazul unor formatiuni chistice, fibroame uterine de dimensiuni mari, tumori, etc.). Daca se mentine cauza care a provocat acea afectiune in corpul pacientului, in viitor vor exista recivide ale bolii la nivelul aceluiasi organ sau in zona altor organe, sub diverse forme de manifestare. Medicina alopata poate interveni in aceste situatii de urgenta, prin indepartarea efectelor provocate de afectiune, insa in privinta tratarii cauzelor si tulburarilor care au provocat boala se vede neputincioasa. Tratamentele traditionale, insa, actioneaza atat asupra cauzelor, cat si a efectelor secundare provocate de prezenta afectiunii in organism.

In acelasi timp, tratamentul traditional curata corpul si tesuturile de bacterii, virusuri si toxinele lor; stimuleaza procesele de regenerare si de aparare proprii organismului si armonizeaza functiile organice. La nivel celular actioneaza pentru stimularea proceselor de oxigenare si detoxifiere, fiind foarte eficiente in procedurile pentru intinerire.

Daca analizam istoria medicinei vedem ca formulele medicatiei de sinteza au la baza formule terapeutice naturiste, intrucat, in trecut, medicii adiministrau preparate ce contineau componente naturale.  Medicina actuala incearca sa reproduca aceste formule si sa reconstruiasca actiunea lor, insa formulele utilizeaza de obicei doar o parte a componentei cu efecte curative, prin urmare si actiunea produselor utilizate nu se ridica la nivelul formulelor ce contin plante medicinale. Creatorul a daruit omenirii plantele pentru mentinerea si sustinerea vietii, iar faptul ca formulele naturiste sunt singurele ce pot mentine echilibrul genetic al corpului uman, pentru a-l proteja de actiunea virusurilor si bacteriilor din mediul inconjurator, confirma acest fapt. Din acest motiv, medicatia clasica actioneaza doar la nivel chimic si fizic, neavand posibilitatea sa actioneze si asupra structurii energetice a omului sau asupra componentei sufletesti.

Fata de medicatia de sinteza, plantele pot diferentia celulele sanatoase de cele bolnave si le elimina doar pe cele cu o structura si functie deteriorata, ajutandu-le in acelasi timp pe cele sanatoase sa restabileasca activitatea tesutului sau a organului afectat.

In tratare unei boli, si a complexului de efecte pe care il produce asupra activitatii psiho-afective a bolnavului, medicul trebuie sa actioneze corespunzator si asupra sistemului nervos, pentru eliminarea stresului si a tensiunii cauzate de afectiunea in sine, de stilul de viata al societatii actuale si de contexul social, profesional si familial al pacientului. Pacientul trebuie indrumat si pentru a obtine echilibru si armonie sufleteasca, indiferent de contextul in care se afla, pentru ca astfel, organismul sau mobilizeaza toate resursele pentru a se reface.

Medicina traditionala chineza specifica un alt aspect ce trebuie luat in considerare, corpul omului este alcatuit din cinci elemente care mentin echilibrul organismului si asigura starea de sanatate. Acest echilibru si ciclul de transformare al elementelor poate fi restabilit doar prin terapii traditionale si tratament cu plante medicinale, intrucat aceasta forma de tratament este singura care poate actiona asupra structurilor energetice si direct asupra cauzelor care au provocat imbolnavirea pacientului.

The traditional medicine therapies used to be applied in the treatment of the human body’s diseases in the traditional medicine practice of the great Egyptian, Chinese, Tibetan, Indian, Thracian, Persian, American-Indian and other civilisations. A number of methods have survived time, and the traditional medicine masters use them in their treatments, trying to preserve the treatment protocol and the administration methodology described by the ancient civilisations.Our ancestors used to employ the medicinal herbs as treatment base and they used to increase the action of the curative substances with the help of acupuncture, thermotherapy, massage, physical activity, melotherapy, psychotherapy, etc. This complex of therapies acts upon the physical body, the spirit and the brain by annulling firstly the causes and then the secondary effects of the illness.

Ever since my student years at the Faculty of Medicine, I have studied these concepts, gradually realising how this branch of medicine is the only one able to provide a physician with the necessary mechanisms to enable him act in a complex way upon a disease and restore a patient’s good health condition. I also realized that the traditional medicine therapies and the naturopathic medication are the only things able to treat the human body’s diseases without adverse effects, acting upon the human body’s three dimensions: physical, energetic and mental ones. Approaching the human body from the holistic perspective, the traditional treatments act upon the mentioned ensemble, treating not only each organ individually, but also the system they are a part of; a thing which cannot be achieved through the modern therapies, because the treatments aim at balancing an organ without taking into account the whole it belongs to and the disorders present in other organs as well.

In emergency situations, it is recommended to intervene surgically or to stabilize the patient by allopathic treatment methods (as is the case of certain cystic formations, uterine fibromas of large sizes, tumors, etc.) Should the cause of the patient’s disease be maintained, there will be relapses of the disease in the future, at the level of the same organ or organs, under various forms of manifestation. In these emergency situations, the allopathic medicine can intervene by annuling the effects of the disease; as for treating the causes and the disorders that triggered the disease, it finds itself helpless. But the traditional treatments act both upon the causes and the secondary effects caused by the presence of the disease in the body.

At the same time, the traditional treatment cleanses the body and the tissues of bacteria, viruses and their toxins; it stimulates the body’s own regenerating and defence processes and it harmonises the organic functions. At cellular level, it acts for the stimulation of the oxygenation and detoxification processes, which are very productive in the rejuvenation techniques.

If we analyse the history of medicine, we will see how the synthesis medication formulae are based upon naturopathic therapeutical ones, as – in the past – the physicians would administer natural-component containing products. The present-day medicine is trying to replicate the respective formulae and to reconstruct their action, but as a rule the formulae use only one part of the component with curative effects, therefore the action, too, of the employed products will not reach the level of the herbal formulae. The Creator gave the herbs to the mankind to maintain and support life. The fact that the naturopathic formulae are the only things able to preserve the human body’s genetic balance in order to protect it from the viruses’ and bacteria’s action proves it. From this reason, the classical medication acts only at chemical and physical level, being unable to act also upon the human being’s energetic structure or upon the spiritual component.
Unlike the synthesis medication, the herbs can differentiate healthy cells from sick ones; and they will remove only those with a deteriorated structure and function, at the same time helping the healthy ones restore the activity of the affected tissue or organ.

In treating a disease and the complex of effects it brings upon the patient’s psycho-affective activity, the physician must act properly also upon the nervous system to eliminate the stress and the tension caused by the disease itself, by the present-day society’s lifestyle and by the patient’s social, professional and familial environment. The patient must be guided to achieve also spiritual balance and harmony, despite the context he may find himself in, because this way his body will mobilize all its resources to recover.

The traditional Chinese medicine mentions another aspect that must be taken into consideration: the human body is made up of five elements maintaining the body’s balance and ensuring the good health condition. This balance together with the transmutation cycle of the elements can be restored only through traditional therapies and herbal treatment, because this type of treatment is the only one capable of acting upon the energy structures and directly upon the causes that made the patient fall ill.
