Modern medicine believes that acupuncture can cure diseases because it has the functions of regulating, enhancing defense and immunity and promoting tissue repair. Among them, adjustment is the most basic and important one. Acupuncture can regulate the functions of various systems and organs through anti-infection, anti-shock, anti-convulsion and analgesia. This adjustment has a benign stimulating effect, which can turn illness into marriage. The regulation function is also manifested as two-way regulation, that is, acupuncture at the same point can treat two diseases with completely opposite properties. For example, acupuncture at Neiguan point can slow down the heart rate of tachycardia and accelerate the heart rate of bradycardia; Acupuncture at Sanyinjiao point can increase blood sugar in hypoglycemia patients and decrease blood sugar in diabetes patients. Acupuncture can treat hepatitis, bacillary dysentery and tumor, and its mechanism mainly lies in enhancing the immune defense function of the body. Acupuncture can enhance the specific and non-specific immunity of the body. A large number of data show that the healing period of surgical wounds in patients with acupuncture anesthesia is greatly shortened, and the formation of callus can be accelerated in patients with fracture after acupuncture treatment. All these indicate that acupuncture can promote tissue repair.
