Abstract:
As a basic source for the theoretical system of traditonal Chinese medicine (TCM), the Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》) made the point of “treatment with combination of diverse methods and prescriptions”,which is one of the characteristics of TCM in treating diseases. This paper discussed the therapeutic idea of “diverse methods and prescriptions” from five dimensions, including time, population, regions, diseases, and treatments, and proposed that “combined treatment” is an effective measure to embody the idea of “diverse methods and prescriptions”. That is to say, by taking the combination of the concept of holism and syndrome differentiation and treatment as the starting point, combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, and treating both internal and external diseases through multiple ways and methods, the goal to treat the disease at the root, and keep yin at peace and yang compact can be achieved. Finally, it is suggested to guide the clinical practice with “treatment with combination of diverse methods and prescriptions”, providing new ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
