The basic principle of acupuncture and moxibustion is to regulate and balance the physiological functions of the human body by stimulating specific acupoints. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, there is a meridian system in the human body, which runs through the whole body and is related to the organs and tissues of the human body. Meridian acupoints are specific acupoints corresponding to organs, tissues and functions in the human body. By inserting acupoints on acupoints, we can stimulate meridians and regulate the circulation of qi and blood, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases and restoring health.
Acupuncture methods mainly include acupoint selection and acupuncture skills. Among them, acupoint selection is determined according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the specific condition. Common acupoints are Baihui, Quchi and Hegu. Acupuncture manipulation includes such operations as insertion angle, depth and rotation. Using these techniques skillfully, the acupuncture effect can be better. In addition, there are some auxiliary methods, such as moxibustion and cupping, which are often used in conjunction with acupuncture.
Acupuncture is widely used in the treatment and health care of many diseases. For example, in internal medicine, acupuncture can be used to regulate the function of digestive system and relieve gastrointestinal diseases and respiratory diseases. In surgery, acupuncture can relieve pain, promote wound healing and reduce postoperative discomfort. In addition, acupuncture can also be used to treat gynecological diseases, skin diseases and nervous system diseases.
As a non-drug therapy, acupuncture is favored by many people because of its advantages of safety, no side effects and stable curative effect. In clinical practice, acupuncture is also widely combined with other treatment methods to improve the therapeutic effect. For example, acupuncture can be used in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine to enhance the conditioning effect; Combined with physical therapy such as massage and physical therapy, it promotes blood circulation and tissue recovery.
Although acupuncture has a certain clinical effect, it still needs to follow scientific norms and safe operation. Because acupuncture operation requires certain professional knowledge and skills, you should choose a formal medical institution or a professionally trained acupuncturist when receiving acupuncture treatment. At the same time, before treatment, a comprehensive physical examination should be conducted to ensure that acupuncture is an appropriate treatment.
As a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, acupuncture regulates the physiological functions of the human body by stimulating specific acupoints, and has the functions of regulating diseases and maintaining health. It plays an important role in the treatment and health care of many diseases, and has been widely used and deeply studied. However, when accepting acupuncture treatment, it is still necessary to carefully select medical institutions and acupuncturists, pay attention to scientific norms and safe operation, and ensure the therapeutic effect and personal safety.
