疾病愈后规律解答

Explanation of the regularity after recovery from illness

正常情况下，从服用中药对证到彻底治愈会出现以下三个时期的典型变化：

Under normal circumstances, from taking traditional Chinese medicine for symptomatic treatment to complete cure, the following three typical changes will occur:

第一阶段：病情转变期

Phase One: The period of disease transformation

持续时间约：1-3个月，在这个时期通过补充人体阳气后，会迅速打破阴邪之气的困扰，出现一系列症状缓解及身体轻松、全身畅通的感觉，容易让人产生疾病已经解除的错觉，此时若不能坚持扶正祛邪，病情必定会反复发作，迁延不愈。

The duration is approximately 1 to 3 months. During this period, after supplementing the body's Yang qi, the disturbance of Yin pathogenic qi will be quickly broken through, and a series of symptoms will be relieved and the body will feel relaxed and unobstructed throughout. This can easily give people the illusion that the disease has been cured. If one cannot persist in supporting the body's vital energy and eliminating pathogenic factors at this time, the condition is bound to recur and persist without healing.

第二阶段：正邪抗争期

Phase Two: The period of struggle between good and evil

持续时间约：9-12个月，在这个时期通过持续的补阳气、保津液调理后，体内正邪二气相互抗衡、难分胜负而相对稳定，给人体的感觉是症状消失、病情已愈，可以放弃调理。其实，此时身体相对稳定的情况得益于持续的中药正气补充，此时若放弃调理，体内伏邪必定会因时节因体虚因五情六欲而顺势发作，前期调理前功尽弃。

The duration is approximately 9 to 12 months. During this period, after continuous tonification of Yang qi and preservation of body fluids, the body's righteous and pathogenic qi will contend with each other and remain relatively stable. The feeling given to the human body is that the symptoms have disappeared and the condition has been cured, and the conditioning can be abandoned. In fact, the relatively stable condition of the body at this time is attributed to the continuous supplementation of traditional Chinese medicine's vital energy. If one gives up conditioning at this time, the latent pathogenic factors within the body will surely occur due to the season, physical weakness, and the five emotions and six desires, and all the previous conditioning efforts will be in vain.

第三阶段：疾病治愈期

Phase Three: The period of disease recovery

持续时间约：12-24个月，这是疾病的彻底治愈期，前期通过第一、二阶段和最后持续的肾阳巩固，形成了人体“正气存内、邪不可干”（黄帝内经语）的局面，从此，体内正气强盛，邪气已退，辅以良好的生活习惯和药食养生理念，可以百龄易得、无疾而终。

The duration is approximately 12 to 24 months. This is the complete cure period for the disease. In the early stage, through the first and second phases and the final continuous consolidation of kidney Yang, a situation is formed in the human body where "the body's vital energy is strong and pathogenic factors cannot invade" (as stated in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic). From then on, the body's vital energy is strong and pathogenic factors have recited. Coupled with good living habits and the concept of health preservation through medicine and food, one can easily obtain the disease at a hundred years old and die without any illness.
