The longer we practise medicine, the more we realise that there are no magic solutions, and it is very hard to treat major disease once it has arisen. With epidemics of diabetes, obesity, cancer, heart disease etc. now prevalent, the biggest single assistance medicine in its widest sense can offer is how to look after the human body to minimise the chances of developing serious disease. This is what is meant in the Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, 100BCE to 100 CE) when it says:
“The superior physician helps before the disease has arisen”
There is a great depth of knowledge contained in the teachings of Chinese Health Preservation. Indeed it is fair to say that it is one of the major branches of Chinese medicine alongside herbs, acupuncture, tuina etc. Nowadays we are able to confirm the validity of these teachings with the prolific evidence coming from lifestyle research. This one day seminar will cover the traditional Chinese teachings on regulation of the mind and emotions, diet, tea, alcohol, exercise, work and rest, sleep, sexual activity and self-cultivation in old age, as well as the findings of numerous research studies carried out in recent decades.
