Basic Information
Scope
Main Technical Content: With the increasingly fierce social competition, the accelerating pace of life, and environmental pollution, an increasing number of people are in a sub-healthy state, which seriously affects their quality of life. However, due to the lack of systematic and in-depth research on sub-health theory, people's understanding of the concept of sub-health is inconsistent, and interventions are not standardized. Although traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has advantages in intervening in sub-health, further systematization of TCM interventions in sub-health is needed. Although sub-health is a new concept proposed by Western medicine based on new health concepts, the philosophy it reflects has long been reflected in the "Treating Diseases Before They Occur" thought in the classical Chinese medical treatise "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", which emphasizes disease prevention, improving health quality, and living quality. The scope of sub-health is not the same as the "un-illness" in the broad sense of TCM, but it belongs to the category of TCM's "Treating Diseases Before They Occur". The TCM thought of "Treating Diseases Before They Occur" and its theoretical system can guide the clinical identification and intervention of sub-health. Through the study of sub-health, by integrating the essence and advantages of Western medicine with this simple and advanced concept and contemporary advanced research methods and technologies, we can promote a deeper understanding of TCM's "Treating Diseases Before They Occur", and make it a more visible and acceptable theoretical system with rich connotations, as well as a discipline of TCM un-illness studies, so as to play its due role in disease prevention and health care. In 2006, the "Clinical Guidelines for Sub-Health in TCM" formulated by the Chinese Society of Traditional Chinese Medicine was the first document in China to guide and standardize sub-health research and intervention. It was mainly written by Prof
