Acupuncture point treatment

Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has used its unique way of thinking to explain the effects of acupuncture therapy. In the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. There is a sentence recorded in "Su Wen" that "if Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, all kinds of diseases will arise." The so-called qi and blood are a kind of energy that controls the internal organs. If this energy flows chaotically, it will cause various diseases.

Acupoints are located on the pathways where energy flows. This kind of pathway is called "pathway" and the normal name for acupuncture points should be "meridian points". If there is any abnormality in the internal organs, it will be reflected in the pathways of the internal organs where the abnormality is located, and further it will be reflected in the meridian points where the energy is not flowing smoothly. Therefore, by stimulating the acupoints, the flow of energy can be smooth, and the effect of curing diseases and health care can be achieved. This is the purpose of acupoint health care treatment. Acupoint health care therapy is indeed very effective in treating diseases, and recently its effectiveness has gradually been analyzed using scientific methods.

The conclusion, to put it simply, is this: The effectiveness of acupoint therapy is to adjust the autonomic nervous system by stimulating the acupoints to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the body's circulatory system is disrupted, one will become ill. This so-called state of energy disorder, in other words, is a state of autonomic nervous system imbalance.

Patients with these two diseases must be careful not to let their abdomen catch cold, and they must also maintain an optimistic attitude and not be too anxious. They should also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and avoid spicy, greasy and other irritating foods, otherwise it will aggravate the patient's condition, so you must pay attention.
