      Strengthening the body and eliminating evil is the guiding principle of traditional Chinese medicine in treating many diseases, because traditional Chinese medicine believes that the reason why people are attacked by diseases is because there is insufficient righteousness in the body, which causes evil to take advantage of the deficiency, or the evil qi in the body defeats the righteousness. Therefore, when Chinese medicine treats diseases, the basic principle is to strengthen the body and eliminate evil, so as to help change the contrast between good and evil in the body. So what exactly is strengthening the body and dispelling evil?

      Generally speaking, strengthening the body and dispelling evil can be divided into three small principles according to different situations, namely, strengthening the body to remove evil, strengthening the body to remove evil, and strengthening body and removing evil together. These three principles are applicable to different diseases, and we can choose them according to the specific situation.

      (1) Eliminate evil and strengthen the body. This principle is mainly used for diseases with strong evil qi in the body. It is a situation where the evil qi has the upper hand in the competition with the righteous qi. Therefore, we must get rid of the evil qi. To get rid of the evil qi is to strengthen the righteousness. For this situation, Chinese medicine generally uses treatment methods such as digestion, release, and purgation to get rid of evil spirits. This method is mainly used to treat some acute diseases.

      (2) Strengthen the body to eliminate evil. This principle is mainly applicable to cases where there is a deficiency of healthy energy in the body or a simple lack of healthy energy without evil energy, such as some symptoms of physical weakness, coma, diarrhea and other symptoms. For these diseases, traditional Chinese medicine generally adopts measures such as nourishing yin, nourishing blood, supporting yang, and replenishing deficiency.

      (3) Use both strengthening the body and dispelling evil. This principle applies to situations where the forces of good and evil are equal. The evil qi is not as strong as the acute disease, and the righteous qi also shows a weak trend. The simultaneous use of strengthening the body and dispelling evil can not only make up for the deficiency of the qi, but also attack the excess of the evil. In this way, the combined treatment of both aspects can greatly improve the efficiency of treating diseases. For example, to treat liver cirrhosis and ascites, we can either dispel evils, that is, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, or we can strengthen the body, that is, use some tonic drugs.

      All in all, no matter what method is used to strengthen the body and eliminate evil, in addition to active treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily diet, so as to increase the confidence in defeating the disease and ensure a speedy recovery.
