What are the advantages and disadvantages of cervical acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional diagnosis and treatment method in my country, and also a unique means of treatment in my country. Now acupuncture is becoming more and more popular among people. In the treatment of many diseases, the unique treatment method of acupuncture is becoming more and more effective. Because acupuncture is a way of treating the inside from the outside, it achieves the effect of curing diseases by stimulating meridians and acupoints and using some techniques in treatment.

Three major functions of acupuncture

1. Unblock meridians

The function of dredging meridians is to make blocked meridians unobstructed and play their normal physiological functions. It is the most basic and direct therapeutic effect of acupuncture. Meridians "belong to the internal organs internally and connect to the limbs externally", and circulating qi and blood is one of their main physiological functions. The meridians are blocked and the circulation of Qi and blood is obstructed, with clinical manifestations including pain, numbness, swelling, ecchymosis and other symptoms. Acupuncture selects corresponding acupoints and acupuncture techniques as well as three-edged needle pricking to induce bleeding so as to make the meridians unobstructed and the Qi and blood flow normally.

2. Harmonize Yin and Yang

The function of acupuncture in harmonizing yin and yang is to transform the body from a state of imbalance between yin and yang to a state of balance, which is the ultimate goal of acupuncture treatment. The mechanism of disease occurrence is complex, but generally speaking it can be summarized as an imbalance of yin and yang. The function of acupuncture in harmonizing yin and yang is achieved through the yin and yang properties of meridians, the combination of meridian points and acupuncture techniques.

3. Strengthen the body and eliminate evil

The function of acupuncture and moxibustion is to strengthen the body's positive energy and expel pathogenic factors. The process of disease occurrence, development and outcome is essentially a process of struggle between good and evil. The purpose of acupuncture in treating diseases is to play its role in strengthening the body and eliminating evil.
