民俗療法(整復)從業人員自我健康管理-職業傷害預防(ㄧ)
李章智著All rights reserved
民俗療法(整復)從業人員(以下簡稱整復師)為許多人消除疲勞與損傷,提供了良好的健康保健,但是整復師自身經常因為服務他人而忘卻自身的健康保健,或是有些整復師是受僱人員,在雇主不正確的制度下,只能耗著健康為他人進行健康服務,如此一來不僅有職業傷害,也無法為客戶提供良好的服務品質。
不論是整復師自身或是僱主,都應該有「有好(健康)的人(師傅),才有好(健康)的服務」這個觀念,如此事業才能長久與品質,而業者才有良好的競爭力。整復師的職業傷害預防有許多方法,我們應先來檢視這些傷害的來源,如此才能做好預防,我們可以從身體、心與靈(暫時將能量歸在此處)三部份來著手。
身體部分的損害大致上可以分為兩個部分,ㄧ是錯誤動作所引起,ㄧ是長期勞損;心理部分有外在環境的影響與個人的理念調整;靈性的部分有外在的影響與自身的抗力;或許有人認為這部分或許太玄幻,事實上我們可以看到有許多的專科名醫經常是死亡在專科的疾病下,例如肝臟權威最後死於肝病等,明瞭這是靈性(能量)擴散的問題,就可以理解。
延年九轉功
李章智著All rights reserved
一般的養生運動大多著重在運動四肢,進而帶動周身氣血與活絡臟腑,少數養生功法是直接運動臟腑,「延年九轉功」便是以臟腑按摩為主的養生功法,臟腑按摩除了有助於消化與吸收的功能外,也有幫助解毒與免疫等功能,甚至與腦部神經溝通協調,進而調整周身的內分泌與神經傳導,臟腑按摩的養生功能不可謂為不大。
為大家簡單的說明此功法的歷史由來,「延年九轉功」是在清朝雍正年間由顏偉著書廣傳,該作者身體自幼虛弱多病,也練了許多的養生氣功與服用各種養生保健食品,但是體弱多病的情況都沒有改善,自從練習了這個功法,身體變得健康與強壯,作者將此功法介紹給親朋好友練習,所有練習的人身體都變得更加健康。甚至有人罹患失眠二十多年,遍訪明醫與各種方法都無法改善,但是練此功法不到兩個月,就能整夜酣睡。所以本功法又稱「祛病延年法」或「仙人揉腹功」
「延年九轉功」特別適合忙碌的現代人,因為現代人經常工作繁忙而三餐不正常,或是交際應酬而暴飲暴食,長期下來除了消化系統的疾病外,也導致各種疾病的產生,這跟脾胃消化有密切的關係,因此古人認為「萬病歸脾土」,相對而言只要脾胃的功能改善,許多疾病便可以改善與治癒。又在氣功中脾胃是溝通人體陰與陽的重要樞紐,使身體水火能量協調,所謂『黃婆媒嬰奼』,氣得以上下交流,可以幫助睡眠、改善體質與消除許多頑固宿疾。

Martial Arts Legend from a Historical Point of View – Shaolin Temple
Shaolin Temple is very famous in Wuxia novels, so everyone is curious about it. A brief introduction of the temple is provided below. The Shaolin Temple was established in 494 AD by Emperor Xiaowen for an Indian monk, Buddhabhadra, and not for Bodhidharma. From historical records, it appears that Bodhidharma never set foot in Shaolin Temple. Rather, it was the disciple of Duddhabhadra, Sengchou (the second abbot), that introduced martial arts into the Shaolin Temple. However, Zen Buddhism was not promoted and Sengchou did not practice Zen, therefore the concept of “Martial arts and Zen are unified”did not exist. Furthermore, the Northern Wei Dynasty was not stable, and numerous assets held in temples were sought after by bandits. Thus, it was common for temples to possess some capabilities in self-defense. The Shaolin Temple was significantly important in Buddhism and held a certain position, but we will skip this part for now.
The Shaolin Temple established its importance in the place of martial arts in 621 AD, when 13 monks caught general Ren-zhe Wang and changed allegiance to Shi Min Li, the Duke of Qin who later became the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty; this was the origin of the legendary tale of “13 Shaolin Pole Fighting Monks Saving the Imperial Heir.” The number of monks in the Shaolin Temple peaked at 2000 later in the Yuan Dynasty. Many students from the Shaolin Temple have been appointed as officials in various locations. However, most monks took refuge by the end of the Yuan Dynasty as many rebellions led by the “Red Turbans” occurred in different regions, as it was time of chaos. Only 40 to 50 monks remained.
The martial arts ability of the Shaolin Temple was well-known all over. However, Dayou Yu, a general in the Ming Dynasty that fought against Japanese pirates, travelled to the Shaolin Temple to observe the monks' fighting techniques. He was disappointed with the monk's fighting techniques and claimed that, “The temple was best known for their swordsmanship, but from what I have seen, this is a false claim, the skills have been lost.”He then taught martial arts to some of the monks he picked, and asked them to return to the temple and to teach others. We know that “All martial arts originated from the Shaolin Temple,” but we can also say that “Every martial art enters the Shaolin Temple.”The Shaolin Temple is known for pole fighting technique. Chong Dou Cheng wrote the Shaolin Staff Ancient Manual, a three volume work, in 1616. The glory of the Shaolin Temple remained in decline due to fighting and wars. There were about 200 monks in the temple by the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republican Era. Many invaluable documents were destroyed when the warlord You San Shih set fire to the temple. However, the disaster did not end for the Shaolin Temple. The temple has only about 30 acres of land after the Communist regime implement “Land Reform.” This was only enough for the 14 monks that resided in the temple to support themselves. The Shaolin Temple experienced another tragedy during the“Cultural Revolution;” the lives of the monks were difficult, and no time or effort was devoted to learn the words, chant sutras, or to practice martial arts.
“Shaolin Temple,” a kung fu film in 1982 changed everything by starting a frenzy of learning Shaolin martial arts. The Shaolin Temple and Shaolin martial arts were carefully packaged and marketed, along with promotion by movies and novels; by the 1990s, numerous martial arts schools were set up around the temple with the number of students totaling 32,000. The Shaolin Temple has become a window to Chinese martial arts through evolution, and has started to promote Chinese martial arts to the world.
個人經驗分享習;練易筋經,緩解痛風症狀與輔助醫藥治療
(該作者為本人大學時的國術社師弟,在2012/08/25一同練功時,提到運動對身體的保健,特別請黃師弟現身說法,鼓勵大眾練習傳統養生功法)
我是在五、六年前痛風發作時,學了所謂的〈少林達摩易筋經〉,經過斷斷續續的練習,才覺得這套功法對我有緩解痛風發作時的疼痛的效果。
痛風是因為體內”普林”代謝異常或是腎臟排除尿酸的功能障礙,導致血液中尿酸過高,而尿酸鹽結晶沉積在關節內,造成關節痛、腫脹及變形,俗稱「帝王病」,我都戲稱是「富貴病」。不管是飲食產生過多尿酸或是尿酸排出太少,能夠讓身體做深層的運動,加強代謝功能,減少尿酸鹽晶沉積,是普遍痛風患者能夠接受的共識,可是痛風發作時關節的腫痛是根本無法做運動,平時不痛時也不能做激烈運動或過速減肥,以免造成體內分泌過多酸性物質(專有名詞我不知道),完全是一個只能享受(疼痛)不能勞作的病狀。
那一次痛風急性發作的時候,已經先去醫院打了一劑針藥(一般應該是「非類固醇的消炎止痛藥」或加了些許類固醇、或是抑制尿酸或是加強排解尿酸的藥物。)然後抱病上班時覺得自己不管怎樣還是得運動,但是又不能太激烈,不能走來走去,腳掌關節都腫的穿不下鞋了,游泳好像可以,可我不會;瑜珈好像可以,不過還沒學,突然想到那個甚麼「易筋經」不是號稱中國瑜珈嗎?金庸小說裡的游坦之中了冰蠶毒,練了易筋經都能好了,我痛風應該也可以,馬上打電話給中壢的盧醫師,印象中他說他會,也約好了他晚上看診完,請他教我。
