Elements that make up the body "Qi, blood, water"
In Kampo, it is thought that the human body is made up of "qi, blood, and water".
"Qi" is the energy that is the source of movement of the human body, moves blood, water, and organs, and has the function of controlling the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system.

"Blood" refers to the red liquid in the body, carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, and also adjusts hormonal balance.

"Water" refers to the clear liquid in the body, that is, all the water in the body such as runny nose, urine, lymph, etc., and is greatly related to immunity.

　Maintaining health is the balance of "qi, blood, and water"
In Kampo, these three of "qi, blood, and water" circulate in a well-balanced manner in the body,
I think I'm in good health.
Using "automobile" as an example, imagine that "qi" is the driver, "blood" is gasoline, and "water" is the water of the radiator that cools the heat of the machine.
Without gasoline, the car will not work, and if there is no water, it will break down with heat.
Also, if the driver runs away, it will be an accident.
In other words, if any one of the "qi, blood, and water" is insufficient or stagnant, it will cause problems and diseases.

　Prepare qi, blood, and water, and create a body that does not get sick
The factors that disturb "qi, blood, and water" are the change of the four seasons, changes in the environment, disturbances in lifestyle and eating habits,
There is a lot of stress.
Compared to 100 years ago, the environment surrounding us has changed greatly.
With the development of the economy and the progress of medicine, life expectancy has increased and new diseases have also increased.
For example, it is said that it is difficult to completely cure a disorder for which the cause is unknown, the so-called indefinite complaint.
That is why, against increasing diseases and disorders,
Rather than "start treatment after the symptoms of the disease appear", the idea of Kampo medicine "to increase self-recovery and create a body that does not show symptoms of disease" attracts attention.

In the long history of mankind, Kampo has actually been developed by people adopting it.
In other words, it is a medical science that has developed through clinical trials on an enormous scale, and it has accumulated wisdom and ingenuity to return the mind and body to normal for people living in that era.
