Acupuncture is an important treatment method in Chinese medicine, and many diseases need to rely on medication in conjunction with acupuncture treatment to be effectively resolved. Even without medication, acupuncture alone can relieve most diseases, so nowadays acupuncture is often the best choice for Chinese medicine treatment.
What diseases can be treated with acupuncture?
1. Migraine
Migraine is a common clinical disease, usually caused by damage to the nerves in the head, and in TCM it is a disease caused by liver depression and qi stagnation. Therefore, for the treatment of migraine, acupuncture is usually used for the foot Shaoyang meridian and the hand Sun meridian to relax the tendons and activate the channels, activate the blood and relieve pain.
2. Stroke
Stroke is a serious disease, usually in patients with high blood pressure, and after the attack, it can lead to sequelae, some patients may be paraplegic for life, and it is difficult to regain mobility. Acupuncture is very effective for stroke. In acute stroke, acupuncture points can be used for first aid, and if the stroke is in the recovery phase, acupuncture points can be used to awaken the brain and open the mind.
3. Dysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea is usually a painful condition caused by menstrual disorders in women. To treat dysmenorrhea with acupuncture, you can choose acupuncture points that move qi and disperse cold or regulate qi and blood, usually the Sanyinjiao and Qisanli points. However, it is important to note that acupuncture should not be performed during a woman’s menstrual period.
4. Treatment of sprains
The treatment of sprains with acupuncture is generally no worse than medication and can be used in the early stages of sprains. When you first sprain, you can choose to use balanced acupuncture treatment to relieve pain, and can also be a good local conditioning effect. After 24 hours of the sprain, you can choose acupuncture points to relieve the symptoms.
5. Treatment of syncope
Syncope is a more serious symptom, usually an acute attack of disease leading to a sudden coma when the patient will not only have symptoms of disease but is also prone to shock. Treatment of syncope requires strong stimulation, usually by acupuncture at the Shuigou or Yongquan points.
6. Vomiting treatment
If the patient has severe vomiting symptoms, it can also be treated by acupuncture, because vomiting is mainly caused by the upward rebellion of stomach qi, which should be harmonized with the stomach to lower the rebellion, and acupuncture at the foot three li and middle cavity points can effectively regulate.
Acupuncture treatment is not only able to treat some common minor illnesses, but also has a good effect on various internal diseases. However, acupuncture treatment requires persistence, and the patient may not be comfortable with the treatment at the beginning, but if persisted in the long term, it can not only cure the disease but also regulate the body.
