Mechanism of catgut embedding therapy
Acupoint catgut embedding therapy is the product of the combination of acupuncture theory, traditional Chinese medicine and modern physics. Through the biophysical effects and biochemical changes produced by acupuncture and medicated thread at acupoints, stimulating information and energy and traditional Chinese medicine are introduced into the body through meridians, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. In fact, catgut embedding therapy is a kind of compound therapy with multiple therapies and multiple effects.
Its main functions are:
Acupoint sealing effect of 1
Local anesthesia acts on the skin before catgut embedding, which is equivalent to degree closure. Acupoints on the skin communicate with viscera through meridians, and the stimulation impulse generated by local anesthesia can play a role in regulating viscera, balancing yin and yang and harmonizing qi and blood.
2 Acupuncture effect, needle burying effect
Acupuncture at acupoints can produce a feeling of soreness and swelling during catgut embedding and stimulation, and catgut embedding medicine thread can replace acupuncture needle to produce acupuncture effect at acupoints. At the same time, the absorption time of the medicine thread is long, and the effect of burying the needle is also achieved.
3 Effect of tissue therapy
As an exogenous protein, the embedding of medicated thread in acupoints is equivalent to xenotransplantation, which can cause allergic reaction and sensitize lymphocytes. Its cells cooperate with antibodies and macrophages in body fluids, thus destroying and liquefying drug lines and turning them into peptides, amino acids and so on. Finally, it is swallowed and absorbed, and various lymphatic factor are produced at the same time. These antigen irritants stimulate acupoints physiologically, physically and biochemically, causing allergic reaction and aseptic inflammation of local tissues, and even systemic reaction, thus stimulating acupoints locally, improving the stress ability of human body, stimulating the immune function of human body, regulating the functions of relevant organs of the body, making activities tend to be balanced and diseases cured.
In a word, catgut embedding therapy integrates various stimulating effects, which complement each other and complement each other, forming a complex, lasting and gentle non-specific stimulating impulse. Part of it is introduced into the posterior horn of the spinal cord of the corresponding segment, which inhibits the adjacent pathological information and is introduced into the viscera to play a regulatory role. The other part is introduced into the cerebral cortex, which strengthens the interference, inhibition and substitution of the central nervous system for the afferent excitement of pathological stimuli, and then passes through nerves-
The main function of catgut embedding therapy:
1, coordinating viscera and balancing yin and yang
The various functions and stimulation process of catgut embedding form a complex stimulation information, which acts on the body through the input of meridians, producing the function of inhibiting hyperactivity and exciting the weak, adjusting the function of human viscera, correcting the advantages and disadvantages of yin and yang and restoring relative balance.
2. Dredge meridians and harmonize qi and blood.
Pain is related to meridian obstruction and qi-blood imbalance. There is a saying that "pain makes no sense, and the general principle does not hurt." Catgut-embedding therapy has the function of "restraining spirit and making qi easy", which can transfer or inhibit the activity of "spirit" related to pain, make "qi in meridians" unobstructed, achieve the effect of sedation and analgesia, thus dredge the blood stasis in meridians and make the pathological changes of qi stagnation and blood stasis return to normal.
3. tonify deficiency and diarrhea, strengthen the body resistance and eliminate evil.
All kinds of effects of catgut embedding with drugs generally have an exciting effect, which has a certain effect on people with decreased physical function and low immunity, that is, it has the functions of improving immune function, tonifying deficiency and strengthening body resistance.
In a word, the three functions of catgut embedding therapy are interrelated, and its mode of action is two-way functional adjustment. The result of regulation is to improve the body's disease resistance and eliminate pathological factors, thus promoting the body to return to normal function.
