Jing Medicine, as an important part of China’s
ethnic medicine and culture, is characterized by its unique theories, rich
content, and abundant resources, showcasing distinctive features of minority
regions. The Jing ethnic group is distributed in coastal and border areas of
China, and after thousands of years of development, ithas formed a rich marine-oriented medical system in the struggle against the
environment and diseases, displaying unique medication characteristics and
clinical efficacy. According to Jing Medicine, the human body is an organic
whole that is unified with the natural and social environment. It believes that
the heavens and earth are the spirits of all things, and all things possess
spiritual energy, which is closely connected to the human body’s spiritual
energy. The utilization of marine organisms in medicine is the greatest feature
of Jing Medicine, and it is a common approach used by the local population for
disease prevention and treatment. To further explore Jing Medicine, improve the
repository of ethnic medicine culture, and address the insufficient
understanding of Jing Medicine in traditional Chinese medicine culture, this
article provides a comprehensive review of the distinctive diagnostic and
therapeutic theories, techniques, and applications of internal and external
treatments in Jing Medicine.
