The cradle of medicine - the ancient East

The doctors of Ancient Egypt and Ancient China presented their great discoveries to mankind, leaving them in the form of numerous treatises that modern doctors still use.

Already in ancient Egypt, doctors knew that the brain and heart were the main organs, they used a scalpel, tweezers, a uterine mirror and a catheter. Ancient Egyptian medical practice was so developed that the Western world could not surpass it for many centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire.

In ancient China, the great physician Hua To at the very beginning of our era used sutures for abdominal operations and anesthesia with opium and cannabis. It was in China that they got rid of smallpox for the first time, and chi-gong breathing exercises, the benefits of which are undeniable, are an ancient cultural heritage of the country and are popular all over the world.

Belief in the gods in Egypt and China did not interfere at all with the development of the science of healing. Ancient Oriental medicine gained experience based on constant systematic observations and analysis of symptoms, signs of diseases. The impact on acupuncture points and the reaction of internal organs and the body as a whole were closely studied. Much attention was paid to the study of medicinal properties of plants, which later became a whole direction of oriental medicine - PHYTOTHERAPY.

In Europe, the church dominated the mind, and doctors and scientists who tried to help people were declared heretics, they were tortured and executed.

Already in Ancient Egypt and Ancient China, they understood that cleanliness is the key to health: baths in Ancient Egypt appeared as much as 6 thousand years ago, it was believed that everyone should take a bath, regardless of well-being. While in Europe it was a sin to wash once again, and people rotted and died from the plague, cholera and other contagion.

Since the XVI century, the era of Modern Times began in Europe, which raised entrepreneurship and passion for hoarding into a cult, "treatment" was also tried to sell more expensive, however, this trend continues today.

All preparations of modern Western medicine are created artificially. There are a huge number of them, and for every symptom of a disease of any organ there is its own group of pills. Symptoms, of course, are eliminated at the physical level quickly, but long-term use of "miracle drugs" significantly worsens the condition of the body in the long term due to a huge list of contraindications.

Take, for example, a simple aspirin: it quickly relieves fever and pain - a fact. Side effects: heartburn, vomiting, stomach pain, and in the future - ulcers and hemorrhagic stroke. We are hooked on a quick result, and annoying bright advertising hides the facts of iatrogenism (harm to the patient, deterioration of the patient's health caused by the careless action of the doctor). In the West, it is the most common cause of death of patients today, especially in the USA.

In Eastern practice, such cases practically do not occur.

Western medicine is the medicine of diseases, they begin to treat only with the obvious manifestation of symptoms, when it's time to sound the alarm!

Oriental medicine is, first of all, the preservation of physical and mental health of a person, prevention - the prevention of diseases, getting rid of chronic ailments. And it works!

For example, in China, men have the least prostate cancer, and women have breast cancer. But as soon as they move to European countries, the risk of developing these diseases increases: they adapt to our lifestyle, start eating like us, being treated by our doctors - and the result is very deplorable!

In the West, frequent sex is considered a prevention of "male" diseases. In the East, they avoid obsession with sex and do not exaggerate its importance, warning that promiscuous sexual relations deplete vital energy. Look at Tibetan monks - their life is subordinated to spiritual development, strict discipline, abstinence from worldly pleasures in harsh natural conditions, and everyone knows about their good health and longevity!

According to statistics, developed Western countries are leading in the number of cancer patients. Scientists associate this with the cult of consumption: unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, non-compliance with the daily routine.

Historically, in the East, almost no alcohol is drunk, much attention is paid to seasonal nutrition and healthy spices. And they are also very faithful to ancient traditions and family values: spiritual development takes priority over the thirst for profit.

The East introduced us to the concept of "HALAL".

Today, if we, Europeans, see the "halal" sign on products, we know that it is a sign of the highest quality and environmental friendliness. But these are also deeper criteria: conscientiousness, truthfulness of characteristics, purity of production. It is very difficult to get such a certificate. Deeply believing Muslims are allowed to work, because when you are honest before God, before yourself, it means you are honest with others, you will do your job conscientiously and from the heart, and everything done with the soul can not harm anyone.

Popular movie stars and famous musicians, politicians and Olympic champions have been using massages, acupuncture, cupping therapy and hijama for a long time to maintain health, they prefer halal products. The turn to the eastern approach is gaining momentum all over the world.

So, maybe you should not so harshly deny Eastern medicine, but rather pay attention to its advantages?
