Introduction to Tibetan medicine (urine diagnosis method of Tibetan medicine)

Applicant: Tibet Hospital of Shannan Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region

Tibetan medicine is an important part of Chinese traditional medicine and an important representative of Chinese national medicine.

Tibetan medicine has a long history. It is the medical experience accumulated by Tibetan people in the special environment of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. Its classic work "four medical classics" was written in the Tubo Dynasty in the second half of the 8th century. It was written by the famous Tibetan medicine expert Yutuo Gongbu on New Year's day. The combination of Tibetan medicine and Tibetan astronomy and calendar is a huge and complex medical system. Tibetan medicine is based on the theory of "water, fire, earth, wind and air" and the theory of "dragon, Chiba and Bacon". It takes the plants, animals, minerals and some "Southern medicine" of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau as the basic medicine, and adopts the practice mode of adapting to the plateau environment and nomadic life, It has a unique curative effect on common diseases, frequently occurring diseases and endemic diseases in high altitude hypoxia environment, and its health culture has been paid more and more attention by the medical community.

Due to the vast territory of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, high mountains and steep waters, the ethnic and regional characteristics of Tibetan medicine culture are obvious, and the diagnosis, medical technology and medicine of Tibetan medicine are often different in different regions and schools. In recent decades, with the construction of Tibetan medicine and the extensive development of academic exchanges, the inheritance and promotion of Tibetan medicine have made remarkable achievements.

In the eighth Century, the famous Tibetan medicine father Utoy Vandangob studied the theory of urine diagnosis and actively practices, and proved the principle of distinguishing the disease by color, nature, foam and smell of urine. It was detailed in the four classic medical books of Tibetan medicine. Urine diagnosis of Tibetan medicine originated in Xiangxiong and flourished in Tubo. With the migration of Tibetan people, cultural exchanges and integration with other nationalities, this diagnostic method was passed on to Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia and other places, as well as India, Nepal, Mongolia, Bhutan and other neighboring countries.

Tibetan medicine urine diagnosis is a unique diagnostic method of Tibetan medicine by diagnosing the color, steam, residue, floating matter and foam of urine. Urine diagnosis should have the following conditions: first, the day before urine diagnosis can not eat food or medicine to change the color of urine, nor vigorous exercise; second, urine samples for urine diagnosis around five o'clock in the morning; third, in order to be able to clearly see and identify the residues and plankton in urine, urine diagnosis should be carried out in the morning sunlight; fourth, to avoid container color changing the color of urine, mark the urine It should have been placed in a white porcelain bowl. There are three steps in urinalysis. One is the hot urine period. At this time, we should look at the urine color, urine fog, urine taste and foam, and the second is the foggy period. At this time, we should identify the residues and floats in the urine, and the third is the cold urine period. At this time, we should distinguish the change of color and the nature of cold urine. Through the above identification methods, we can better diagnose various diseases such as "dragon", "Chiba", "Bacon" and cold and heat syndrome. The prognosis of endangered patients can be evaluated by urine test.

The urine diagnosis method of Tibetan medicine is the wisdom crystallization accumulated by the Tibetan people in the harsh natural environment after a long period of life, production practice and the process of understanding, understanding and treating diseases. The sub-health state and neurosis, which are called by modern medicine, belong to the category of "dragon disease" of Tibetan medicine. The curative effect of Tibetan medicine is exact. It can be said that the urine diagnosis of Tibetan medicine is also of great significance in the development of modern medical diagnosis methods. Such a unique urine diagnostic method of Tibetan medicine has not been paid enough attention at present, so it is necessary to protect it in theory and practice.
