《伤寒杂病论》食疗思想探析OA

Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases inherits the dietary therapy theories from Inner Canon of Huangdi,and establishes a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)dietary therapy system compatible with the six-meridian syndrome differentiation,which integrates theories and clinical practice.The core of its dietary therapy thoughts takes"homology of medicine and food"as the fundamental principle,and integrates dietary therapy deeply into the whole process of diagnosis and treatment of cold damage and miscellaneous diseases.Taking the six meridians as the guiding framework,Zhang Zhongjing implemented dietary treatment based on syndrome differentiation according to disease location,disease nature and transmission rules.Adhering to the principle that food assists medicinal efficacy and moderates medicinal properties,he established the criterion that dietary therapy should be prioritized for mild diseases,highlighting the advantage of dietary therapy in gently protecting healthy Qi.Meanwhile,he put forward dietary contraindications and indications,stressing that suitable food should be selected and harmful ones avoided by distinguishing the nature and flavor,freshness and quality of food materials as well as disease mechanism and disease nature.He aimed to prevent risks including incompatibility between food ingredients and impairment of healthy Qi caused by mixed diets,and attached importance to dietary hygiene and safety.Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases deeply integrates dietary therapy with clinical practice,establishes the clinical norms of TCM dietary therapy,and lays a solid foundation for the development of the dietary therapy system in later generations.
