Discussion on the Application Strategy of TCM “Preventing Disease” Concept in Tuberculosis Prevention and Treatment
The impact of tuberculosis on health cannot be ignored, and tuberculosis prevention is a global issue that urgently needs to be addressed. The concept of “preventive treatment of disease” is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, originating from the “Huangdi Neijing.” It integrates disease prevention, treatment, and recurrence prevention, serving as an important theoretical basis for disease prevention and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. Applying the “preventive treatment of disease” concept in traditional Chinese medicine to tuberculosis prevention is significant in reducing the incidence of tuberculosis, controlling its progression, and preventing recurrence. This article explores the application strategies of the “preventive treatment of disease” concept in traditional Chinese medicine for tuberculosis prevention and treatment.
