Introduction to Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a unique Chinese method of treating diseases. It is a medical technique of "treating internal diseases externally". It treats systemic diseases by using the conduction effects of meridians and acupoints, as well as specific techniques.
In clinical practice, after diagnosing the cause of the disease according to the diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, identifying the key points, distinguishing the nature of the disease, and determining which meridian or organ the disease belongs to, as well as whether it belongs to the exterior or interior, cold or heat, deficiency or excess, a diagnosis is made. Then, an appropriate acupoint prescription is used for treatment.
By regulating the meridians, adjusting qi and blood, and balancing yin and yang, as well as harmonizing the functions of organs, the goal of preventing diseases can be achieved. Acupuncture therapy is part of the heritage of traditional Chinese medicine and a unique ethnic medical method in China. It has made remarkable contributions to safeguarding health and propagating the nation for thousands of years, and it is still trusted by the general public today.
Acupuncture is the insertion of needles (usually fine needles) into specific points of the body, guided by the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and using techniques such as twisting and lifting to stimulate specific areas of the body to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. The points that are pierced are called acupoints, or simply acupoints.
According to the statistics of the new acupuncture textbooks, there are a total of 361 acupoints in the human body. Moxibustion is a method of preventing and treating diseases by burning and fumigating specific acupoints on the surface of the body using pre-made moxa sticks or moxa grass to stimulate the body with heat.
Artemisia vulgaris is commonly used, so it is called moxibustion. There are also methods such as separated medicine moxibustion, willow twig moxibustion, candle wick moxibustion, and mulberry twig moxibustion. Nowadays, the most commonly used in people's daily lives is moxibustion with moxa sticks.
