The preventive methods of Chinese Medicine are the same as western medicine in many places. For example, keep air circulation, less crowded places, isolation of patients, frequent drinking of warm water, wearing face masks, don’t shake hands when meeting. In ancient China ,when people met,they only bow each other. It is very scientific to avoid making handshake. This is to avoid mutual infection.
From the experience of herb prevention and control, there were a lot of control and prevention experiences in ancient times. For example, Ge Hong ’s “Elbow Reserve Emergency Formula” in the Jin Dynasty, Sun Si’miao ’s “Thousands of Gold Essentials” in the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Tao ’s “The Secret Essentials of Outer Tai” in the Tang Dynasty all have some measures, such as making medicines and preventing them by burning and smoking. Specifically, we think the key is the strength of human immunity. “The Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classics” makes it very clear: “The righteousness Qi exists, the evil cannot be done.” People have strong immunity and disease resistance, and generally do not get sick. “If the evil comes together, the Qi will be empty.” Those who are physically weak are susceptible to illness. From the perspective of enhancing immunity, simply use some herbs for prevention and treatment, such as Yupingfeng San, there are only three herbs, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu, and Fang Feng. it can strengthen the body’s surface resistance to natural pathogenic factors, and enhance immunity. Huang Qi, Bai Zhu, Fang Feng are dry medicines, so they are not suitable for everyone. Some people, such as those with yin deficiency, are not suitable. They can cooperate with Shengmai San. Shengmaisan is ginseng or Dang Shen, Mai Dong, Wu Wei Zi, and there are herbs for nourishing yin. The two prescriptions combined Yupingfengsan and Shengmaisan are six herbs. It is very good for boosting immunity. However, it does not have a strong effect on the external evil. It is mainly to enhance the body’s immunity.
If the disease has begun to spread. It must be use fragrant herb. In the Qing Dynasty, Yu Jiayan said that before the onset of the disease, drink aromatic and righteous herbs to preventive it. Huoxiang, Yinhua, Suye, Baiji, these herbs have anti-fouling effect. Therefore, I suggest using Yupingfeng San and ShengMai San. These two prescriptions together have a total of 6 medicines, plus Huoxiang, Yinhua, and Su Ye, a total of 9 medicines, which can enhance immunity and detoxify. At the same time, it also can be drain dampness. It should be noted that this is the method of prevention.
