June 2021 Clinic Hours

Because of the increasing Covid-19 confirmed cases in Taiwan since mid-May, our department has stopped all the acupuncture treatment for both inpatients and outpatients. Herbal medicine is still available. Many patients came to us for NRICM101 and I personally take this formula since we have a higher risk of being infected

I hope we can all get vaccinated soon and please wear masks all the time and wash hands frequently.

Going Back to School for Ph.D. Program

Hello Everyone,

I got admitted to this Ph.D. program: Graduate Institute of Life Science at the National Defense Medical Center. The school will begin in September 2021.

Since I worked at Tri-service General Hospital, it is super convenient for me to go to school literally next door. I will focus on clinical TCM research and hopefully, I can graduate in the near future.

關心自己,從觀察排便做起





您是否曾經觀察過自己的排泄物?是像香蕉一般成形且軟硬適中,還是軟散不成形,或如同羊屎般堅硬?可別小看我們排出的大便,透過觀察大便的形狀與質地,可以知道一個人的體質與健康狀態,尤其是腸胃道的功能。

💩大便是怎麼產生的呢?

從中醫的角度來看,食物由口腔經食道進入胃中,胃會先進行「腐熟」,將食物初步消化後藉由脾的「運化」功能,將水穀精微轉化成人體可以運用的氣血津液,而運化後的食糜傳到小腸,藉由小腸「分清泌濁」的功能,將有用的精微物質回收,無法再利用的「糟粕」就進到大腸中,由大腸將水份再吸收後形成糞便,並傳導到大腸末端,經由肛門排出。是不是跟現代醫學的觀察很像呢?比較不同的是,中醫認為這個過程還得透過「肺」的宣發,將脾運化後的精微物質散佈到全身,還有「腎」的溫煦功能才能順利。

💩為什麼大便會有不同的形質?

正常的糞便應該是軟硬適中,且質地均勻,讓我們可以很舒暢地每隔一段時間將糞便排出體外。若您夠仔細且長時間進行觀察,其實我們的糞便或多或少都會以不同的型態出現,相信您也有遇過肚子痛拉肚子、水瀉、大便堅硬或是大便解不出來的時候。為什麼我們的糞便會有這麼多不同的形質呢?當我們的身體受到外來的刺激,比如不良的飲食與生活習慣、情緒與壓力的波動,種種因素使得上述臟腑的陰陽、氣血產生變動,進而影響臟腑的生理功能,大便的形質因而改變。

💩為什麼每個人都不一樣?如何治療?

如果是體質陰陽平和、臟腑功能正常的人,比較不容易受到外來因素的刺激,因而比較能夠維持穩定的排便習慣,如果體質偏性較明顯、腸胃功能較弱,易受飲食、情緒、壓力等因素影響的人,常常稍有風吹草動則種種症狀便馬上出現。尤有甚者,許多因癌症切除部分胃、小腸、大腸,術後產生的排便問題也都是中醫門診常見的案例,透過中藥、針灸、按摩、導引等不同方式來調理,常可以收到不錯的療效。關心自己的健康,就從觀察自己的排便做起!
