在母婴群里看到一条留言:「产后不要乱吃中药，中医根本没有scientific proof。」

我看了想说几句。

先说重点:说”中医完全没有科学证据”,这句话本身就不科学。

❌ 把”中医”当成一整块铁板,要嘛全信要嘛全不信,这不是科学态度,是懒得分辨
❌ 以为”科学”只等于”西药双盲对照试验”，忽略了中医药理研究、临床数据这几十年一直在累积
❌ 网上随便一句”没有科学证据”，没查证据、没看研究，就当成事实
❌ 把”某些偏方没证据”和”整个中医体系没证据”，划上等号

真相是:
✅ 产后常用的中药材，比如生化汤、益母草,在促进子宫收缩、帮助恶露排出方面，有药理学和临床研究支持，不是空口说白话
✅ 世界卫生组织(WHO)在1996年就已经把针灸纳入认可的辅助疗法范畴，肯定不是”完全没有科学基础”这么简单
✅ 中医药大学、教学医院，几十年来持续在做中药药理、临床试验研究，发表在正规医学期刊上的论文并不少
✅ 该承认的也要承认：不是每一味中药材、每一个方剂都有等同西药的大型双盲试验数据

科学的态度，从来不是”我不懂的东西就是伪科学”，且不愿意去查证。
中医并没有跟科学对立，这几十年一直有在检验、被临床数据验证。

下一篇,来讲产后到底哪些人不适合马上吃中药,几时开始比较合适。

Saw a comment in a mom’s group: ”Don‘t take Chinese medicine after birth, TCM has no scientific proof.“

Let’s talk about this.

Here‘s the key point: saying ”TCM has zero scientific proof“ is itself an unscientific statement.

❌ Treating ”TCM“ as one giant block — either believe all of it or none of it — isn’t a scientific mindset, it‘s just not bothering to differentiate
❌ Assuming ”science“ only means Western double-blind drug trials, while ignoring decades of TCM pharmacology and clinical research
❌ Reposting ”no scientific evidence“ as fact without ever checking a single study
❌ Equating ”some folk remedies lack evidence“ with ”the entire TCM system lacks evidence“

The truth:

✅ Common postpartum herbs like Sheng Hua Tang and motherwort have pharmacological and clinical research supporting their role in uterine contraction and lochia discharge — not just tradition talking
✅ WHO officially recognized acupuncture as a supportive therapy back in 1996. That’s definitely not ”zero scientific basis“
✅ TCM universities and teaching hospitals have spent decades running pharmacology and clinical trials, published in proper medical journals
✅ To be fair — not every single herb or formula has large-scale double-blind trial data equivalent to Western drugs

Being scientific was never about dismissing anything you don‘t understand as pseudoscience, and refusing to actually check.

TCM isn’t at odds with science. It‘s been getting tested and validated by clinical data for decades.

Next post: who shouldn’t take herbs right after giving birth, and when it‘s actually the right time to start.

有人记得，小时候有可恶的大人说，爸爸妈妈不要你了？或者类似的话吗？或者要抱走你的兄弟姐妹，把你的兄弟姐妹送人？这一类恶劣的玩笑吗？Maybe 只有90后听过？

不管你是谁，请不要跟我孩子说”爸爸妈妈不要你了“或者类似的话。他还小，分不清这是玩笑还是真的，这句话会在他心里种下一颗恐惧的种子，让他开始怀疑，爸爸妈妈会不会有一天真的不要他。

大人觉得只是逗着玩，但对孩子来说，这就是在恐吓他，会一点一点破坏他对父母的信任。

我孩子现在只需要知道一件事：爸爸妈妈会爱他、保护他、照顾他，这样就够了，不需要被这种”玩笑“打乱。我相信这世界上会有无条件爱我的人，除了我父母，就是这个会哭闹、会顽皮捣蛋、也会抱着我拍拍的小家伙了！

“我一撸铁就头痛,是不是我真的不适合练?“
先别急着否定自己 — 举铁头痛,西医中医都能解释, 而且都跟”练法“有关。

🔍可能原因有这些:

📍 颅内压升高
发力时习惯憋气(Valsalva 动作),胸腔压力瞬间飙升,血液回流受阻,颅内压跟着往上冲 — 头就开始胀痛

📍 颈椎代偿
新手重量加太快,肌肉力量跟不上,身体会不自觉借力,颈肩跟着一起发力代偿,压力全往颈椎、头部跑

📍 短暂缺氧
憋气用力时,身体氧气供应被打断,脑部短暂缺氧,头晕、头痛就跟着来

📍 中医角度:气机上冲
中医讲”气随力聚“,憋气发力=气往上顶,气血本身偏虚或肝阳偏旺的人,更容易头胀、头痛

⚠️ 如果头痛反复出现,先去检查,排除心肺、脑部、颈椎的器质性问题,安全永远排第一

✅ 调整方向:
・降重量,放慢节奏
・发力时用鼻子吐气,别憋气
・练后肩颈伸展 / 按摩+充分休息
・慢慢观察恢复情况

你练重量时也遇过这种头痛吗?留言告诉老王 👇

”Every time I lift heavy, I get a headache — am I just not built for this?“

Don‘t jump to that conclusion — lifting headaches have real explanations in both Western and Chinese medicine, and they’re almost always about *how* you‘re training, not your limits.

🔍 Possible causes:

📍 Increased intracranial pressure
Holding your breath while straining (the Valsalva maneuver) spikes chest pressure, blocks blood flow back to the heart, and pushes pressure up into your head

📍 Cervical spine compensation
Adding weight too fast means your muscles can’t keep up, so your body unconsciously recruits your neck and shoulders to compensate — shifting the strain upward

📍 Brief oxygen deprivation
Breath-holding under load briefly cuts oxygen supply to the brain, triggering dizziness and headache

📍 TCM perspective: qi rushing upward
In TCM, exertion with held breath pushes qi upward instead of letting it flow. People with weaker qi/blood or excess liver yang are more prone to this head pressure

⚠️ If this happens repeatedly, get checked first — rule out cardiac, neurological, or cervical spine issues. Safety comes before anything else

✅ What to adjust:
・Lower the weight, slow the tempo
・Exhale through your nose during exertion — don‘t hold your breath
・Massage / Stretch your neck and shoulders after training
・Rest properly and observe how you recover

#中医不是迷信 #老王诊间

病人问我：「进入Ai时代，你说以后，中医还有人看吗？」

我说：不是有没有人看的问题，是「看的方式」会变。

未来五年，健康观念会往这几个方向走：

1️⃣ 预防 > 治疗
以前是病了才来找我。以后是「还没病」就来调理。年轻人开始懂：养生不是等老了才做的事。

2️⃣ 运动不再是「减肥」
从前运动为了瘦。以后运动是为了「气血循环」「睡得好」「情绪稳定」。目的变了，动机更深了。

3️⃣ 个人化养生，一人一方
不再是「喝这个茶包治百病」。体质分寒热虚实，你的调理方式跟别人不一样，这个观念会越来越普及。

4️⃣ 科技 + 中医不是对立
智能手表测心率、睡眠、压力值——这些数据反而可以帮我们更精准判断你的体质变化。中医不是迷信，是经验医学。

5️⃣ 情绪健康 = 身体健康
以后看诊,情绪、压力、睡眠会被当成主诉,不再是「顺便提一下」。心病也是病。

未来的养生，不是更玄，是更科学、更贴近生活、更早开始。

爱你老己，从现在开始，不是从生病那天开始。

～～～
A patient asked me: “Now that we’re entering the AI era, do you think people will still see a TCM practitioner?”

I told him: it’s not about whether people will still come. It’s about why they’ll come.

Here’s how I see health thinking shifting over the next 5 years:

1️⃣ Prevention > Treatment
People used to see me once something was already wrong. Soon, they’ll come before anything is. Wellness stops being something you do “when you’re old” — it starts now

2️⃣ Exercise isn’t just about weight anymore
It’s shifting from “burn calories” to “regulate qi and blood flow,” better sleep, steadier emotions. Same movement, deeper reason.

3️⃣ One person, one formula
No more “drink this tea, it fixes everything.” People are starting to understand constitution types — hot, cold, deficient, excess — and that what works for your friend might not work for you.

4️⃣ Tech and TCM aren’t opposites
Smartwatches tracking heart rate, sleep, stress — this data doesn’t replace TCM diagnosis, it backs it up. TCM isn’t superstition. It’s an experience-based medicine that data is starting to confirm.

5️⃣ Emotional health = physical health
Stress, mood, sleep — these won’t be side notes in a consultation anymore. They’ll be the main complaint. The body remembers what the mind carries.

The future of wellness isn’t more mystical. It’s more scientific, more practical, and it starts earlier.

Take care of yourself — starting today, not the day you get sick.

😩「这个药还有剩,留着下次生病再吃」「你症状跟我一样,吃我剩的看看?」

万万不可！不管中药西药。

同样的症状,病因可能完全不同。药物放久会变质,别人的药方是为别人的体质开的。
小孩、孕妇、长者用药更要谨慎。

用药不遵医嘱，省下的不是药钱，是拿健康在赌。生病了,该看医生,还是要看医生。

-—

😩 “This medicine’s still got some left, keep it for next time.” “Same symptoms as me, just try mine.”."

Absolutely “NO”— for both TCM or Western medicine.

Same symptom, different cause. Medicine expires. Someone else's‘prescription was made for their body, not yours. Kids，pregnant women and the elderly need even more caution.

Using medicine without doctor’s advice, you'r’ not saving money. You're gambling with your health. If you're sick, see a doctor. That‘s still the answer.

她说，辞职了，还是睡不着！

上次她跟我说，长期失眠，一晚醒来五六七八次，每个星期天晚上还会呼吸困难、冒冷汗，一想到隔天要上班就很崩溃。

那次我开了中药颗粒调理，这次回诊问她效果如何。她说吃了确实能睡，情绪也稳定不少。但工作压力太大，没多久又发作，已经辞职了。

辞了职，她以为终于能好好睡一觉，结果还是睡不着。趁着还没开始新工作，她就先来见我拿点中药做个调理和理疗。

中药能安神调气血，但压力的源头不解决，身体只会一直在原地打转。最后她选择辞职，而不是继续再扛下去了。

这次要做的，不只是继续调睡眠，而是趁这段空档，帮他把气血基础打稳，让她下一份工作开始前，身体可以稍微准备好点。

She quit her job. She still couldn’t sleep.

She used to wake up 5, 6, 7, 8 times a night. Every Sunday, her chest would tighten, cold sweats before Monday even arrived.

Last visit, herbs helped—she slept, her mood steadied. Then the stress hit again, and it all came back. She couldn‘t take it. She quit.

She thought quitting would fix it. It didn’t.

Before her next job starts, she came back—wanting to actually heal this time.

Herbs calm the mind. But if the source of stress stays the same, the body just keeps circling back. Quitting wasn‘t weakness—it was her body saying ”I can’t handle this anymore.“

This time, it‘s not just about sleep. It’s about rebuilding her qi and blood before she steps into what‘s next.

💰 以前老一辈常说:「有病才看医生，没病干嘛花钱检查?」

现在的年轻人反而反过来想:「没病的时候不投资健康，等生病了才后悔莫及。」

以前”养生”两个字,好像是退休人士的专利。现在呢？健身房会员、瑜伽课、按摩推拿、中医调理、营养品，一样一样都有愿意花钱的人。

不是他们钱多，是他们想通了:

现代人压力大、作息乱、外食多、久坐多。这些”文明病”不是靠意志力硬撑就能解决的，是需要专业介入、按时调理的。

所以你会看到,越来越多人愿意:
把奶茶钱省下来做一次推拿
把追剧的时间换成一堂运动课
定期养生，不是等到”忍无可忍”才来

这不是浪费钱，是另一种省钱方式。避免大病花大钱。

毕竟，健康这件事，从来不是等有钱有时间才照顾，是先照顾好了才有本钱谈其他的。

💰 The older generation used to say: ”Why spend money on checkups if you‘re not sick?“

Young people today think the opposite: ”If you don’t invest in your health while you‘re well, you’ll regret it once you‘re not.“

”Wellness“ used to feel like something only retirees had time for. Now? Gym memberships, yoga classes, tuina, TCM consultations, supplements — people are willing to pay for all of it.

It’s not that they have more money. It‘s that they’ve figured something out:

Modern life means constant stress, messed up sleep, eating out too much, sitting too long. These ”lifestyle diseases“ don‘t go away just because you push through them. They need real professional care, on a regular basis.

So you’ll notice more people choosing to:
Skip the bubble tea to book a tuina session
Trade a night of Netflix for a workout class
Take care of their health regularly, not wait until they can‘t take it anymore

This isn’t wasting money. It‘s just a different way of saving it. Avoid the big illness, avoid the big bill.

At the end of the day, health was never something you look after once you have the time or money. You look after it first, so you actually have the capacity for everything else.

「怎么感觉老得特别快?」
皮肤暗沉、脸垮、关节卡卡、记忆力也变差,明明年纪没差很多,状态却差很远。

先说重点:很多”老得快”的感觉,背后的关键字是「慢性发炎」。

身体长期处在低度发炎的状态,就像一块铁一直泡在潮湿的空气里,慢慢生锈。这个”生锈”的过程,中医叫它耗气伤津,西医叫它慢性炎症,说法不同,讲的是同一件事——身体一直在”燃烧”,却没在修复。

会让身体一直处于发炎状态的,通常是:
❌ 长期熬夜,身体没时间修复
❌ 高糖高油饮食,加工食品吃太多
❌ 压力大又没有出口,长期焦虑紧绷
❌ 久坐不动,循环变差,代谢也跟着变差

想抗老,先抗炎。想抗炎,从这几个方向开始:
✅ 睡够、睡对时间,子时前入睡,给身体修复的时间
✅ 减少精致糖和加工食品,多吃当季蔬果、优质蛋白
✅ 适度运动,尤其是有氧+阻力训练,帮助循环和代谢
✅ 对症的中药材调理,搭配体质,帮助身体气血循环更顺畅

不是靠昂贵的保养品堆出来的年轻,是身体内在环境不发炎,气色和状态自然会跟上。
真正的抗老,从来不是遮盖,是从根本调理。

“WHY do I feel like I’m aging so fast?”
Dull skin, tired face, stiff joints, foggy memory — even though the years haven’t really added up that much.

Here’s the key word behind a lot of “aging fast” feelings: chronic inflammation.

When your body stays in a constant low-grade inflammatory state, it’s like metal left out in damp air — slowly rusting. TCM calls it depleted qi and fluids, Western medicine calls it chronic inflammation. Different words, same idea: your body keeps burning, without ever fully repairing.

What keeps your body inflamed:
❌ Chronic lack of sleep, no time for the body to repair
❌ High sugar, high oil, heavily processed food
❌ Constant stress with no outlet
❌ Sitting too long, poor circulation, slower metabolism

Want to age well? Start with fighting inflammation:
✅ Sleep enough, and sleep on time — before midnight, giving your body real recovery time
✅ Cut back on refined sugar and processed food, eat more seasonal produce and quality protein
✅ Move regularly — a mix of cardio and resistance training to support circulation
✅ Targeted herbal support based on your constitution, to help qi and blood flow more smoothly

Real anti-aging isn’t built on expensive skincare alone. It’s an internal environment that isn’t inflamed — and your skin, energy, and mood naturally follow.
Real anti-aging doesn’t cover things up. It fixes things at the root.
