The purpose of acupoint therapy is to adjust the balance of the autonomic nervous system, so not all diseases can be treated with this method. Bacterial infectious diseases such as cancer, dysentery, and cholera cannot expect its effectiveness. Symptoms caused by cerebrovascular diseases can be relieved, but cannot be cured.
So, what diseases is acupoint therapy effective for? As mentioned earlier, it is effective for symptoms such as headaches, shoulder pain, dizziness, tinnitus, fatigue, cold hands and feet, and insomnia caused by autonomic nervous system disorders and psychosomatic disorders. Moreover, early treatment of chronic diseases has a great effect on improving their symptoms. In fact, these symptoms and diseases are areas where modern medicine is not good at.
In daily life, there are many people who feel uncomfortable due to unknown causes such as loss of appetite, feeling heavy-headed and light-footed, and inexplicable body weakness. Acupoint therapy is very effective for these "semi-patients".
It is not wise to compare the advantages and disadvantages of modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Both are very superior. Modern medicine diagnoses the cause first and then treats it. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on symptoms and strives to eliminate them. In other words, they should be applied according to the condition of the disease or symptoms.
