Beijing people are enthusiastic.
The news of being included in the "List of Intangible Representative Works of Human Beings" has cheered many acupuncturists and acupuncture lovers. However, some people questioned: "Heritage seems to mean scarcity, endangerment and urgent need for protection". Is acupuncture really endangered?
Last week, the reporter visited many hospitals in Beijing and found that the acupuncture clinics in various hospitals were crowded, not only not "endangered", but also increasingly sought after by the people.

The acupuncture clinic in the hospital is full.
12 From February 2 to 4, the reporter visited many hospitals in Beijing and found that both the acupuncture clinics in specialized hospitals and the acupuncture departments in general hospitals and secondary hospitals were very popular, and many hospitals even needed extra beds.
On the morning of February 2, 65438, the reporter saw in the acupuncture department on the second floor of the medical south building of the Oriental Hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine that both the expert clinic and the general clinic were full of patients. Yang, a doctor in this department, told reporters that they now have about six or seven doctors visiting every day, and the daily outpatient volume is nearly one. Similarly, the crowded situation also appeared in Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing * * * Hospital and other medical institutions.
On February 2, 65438, the reporter went to the acupuncture department on the first floor of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although it is past 3 pm, there are still patients waiting in line outside the clinic, and the beds in the clinic are full of people. On February 4th, 65438, the reporter learned from Beijing * * * Hospital that 200 to 300 people receive acupuncture treatment in the hospital every day.
Wang Linpeng, director of the Acupuncture Department of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told the reporter that there are 1 1 doctors visiting the department in turn. At present, the average daily outpatient volume of the department is more than 600, and the outpatient volume in summer is as high as 700. Some doctors make house calls from six in the morning to two in the afternoon. At most, half-day outpatient service can treat nearly 150 people. In the hospital building, the reporter saw that the rooms of Needle One and Needle Two were also full of people. Director Wang told reporters that there are 100 beds here, almost all of which are full, so patients have to be given extra beds.
65438+11On February 3rd, the reporter saw that there were still several patients waiting in line outside the acupuncture clinic on the first floor of the outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, while three doctors in the clinic were busy. 10 More than 0 patients were receiving acupuncture and cupping treatment. In anzhen hospital, there are still patients waiting in the acupuncture clinic until noon 12. In the acupuncture department of Changping District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the patient Aunt Wang told the reporter that she had been suffering from low back and leg pain for more than ten years. Now she does acupuncture four times a week. Every time she comes to register, she comes at half past six in the morning. If she comes at seven or eight, she won't be able to hang up the expert number. Because there are many people, we have to queue up every time we come.
Group improvement
Most people who used to be keen on acupuncture were elderly people with chronic diseases. In the investigation, the reporter found that the proportion of patients in the acupuncture department of the hospital is getting higher and higher.
On the morning of February 2, 65438, the reporter met Mr. Zhao, who was over 70 years old, at the Deafness Treatment Center of the East Hospital of Beijing Military Region General Hospital. Mr. Zhao began to lose his left ear four years ago, so he dropped his mobile phone (thinking there was something wrong with it). After 9 treatments, Mr. Zhao's hearing in his left ear has basically returned to normal. Gao, director of the department, told the reporter that in addition to neurological deafness (including drug deafness, sudden deafness, noise deafness, etc.), many elderly patients came to pass. In Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Oriental Hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, Beijing * * * Hospital and other places, there are many elderly people who experience low back pain, stroke and headache. Patient Ms. Li said that acupuncture treatment is very effective, especially migraine. She has never taken medicine herself, and it turns out to be very effective.
The reporter learned that the proportion of young people in acupuncture clinics has been greatly improved compared with the situation in which the elderly were the main patients in acupuncture departments in previous years. These young people mainly treat depression through acupuncture, rhinitis, pharyngitis and other respiratory tract, as well as cervical spondylosis, acne and facial paralysis. Young people treat depression through acupuncture. In the Oriental Hospital and Beijing * * * Hospital, there are also some young people who come here to preach classics.
In the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, Ms. Li told reporters that she was here to treat cervical pain. On the morning of February 4th, 65438, in Beijing * * * Hospital, Ms. Yang, who was receiving treatment, told the reporter that she was the head of a school, and she was very tired and nervous at work. As soon as she felt that her heart was blocked, she came to "prick the needle".
Low fees are not conducive to talent reserve.
Chief physician Wang Linpeng, executive director of Chinese Acupuncture Association and director of Acupuncture Center of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been engaged in acupuncture for many years. He said that acupuncture used to be "flowers inside the wall, but incense outside the wall". Many foreign medical institutions have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in acupuncture research. It is reported that acupuncture has been applied in 150 countries and regions, and some countries have included acupuncture in medical insurance. Every year, the largest number of foreigners who come to China to study natural science study acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine.
Wang Linpeng introduced that in recent years, with the increase of national investment and the application of molecular biology in meridian research, the application of acupuncture has become more and more extensive and the academic development has been relatively rapid. Nowadays, the more economically developed areas are influenced by medical conditions and people's strong self-awareness. The higher the development level of acupuncture, the higher the people's recognition of acupuncture. Taking Beijing as an example, there are many people who come to acupuncture in many tertiary hospitals and better secondary hospitals.
Experts also pointed out that the current prosperity of acupuncture in Beijing is also related to the medical insurance policy. Moreover, acupuncture has a good effect, and there is no need to worry about the side effects of taking medicine, which is very popular with patients.
However, experts pointed out that the development of acupuncture medicine is also facing various problems. For example, acupuncture fees are too low, and the income of acupuncturists is generally low; In the hospital, the chances of professional title evaluation, promotion and research funding of acupuncturists are not as good as those of other departments, so that many medical students are unwilling to be acupuncturists. In addition, there are still problems such as the lack of close integration between school basic education and clinical practice. Many teachers engaged in acupuncture teaching have limited clinical time and cannot represent the highest level of acupuncture medicine. This defect can only be made up by medical students after clinical practice.

Acupuncture treatment should follow the "code of conduct"
More and more people trust and ask for help. What diseases is acupuncture, a traditional and slightly mysterious Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment technology suitable for treating? Are there any taboos in application? The reporter interviewed many people on these issues.
& gt& gt code of conduct 1
Avoid eating when acupuncture.
Is there anything special about diet during acupuncture? Hu Hui pointed out that generally speaking, the diet during acupuncture treatment should be light. Specifically, patients with cough had better not eat spicy food; Asthma patients should avoid eating fish and shrimp; Patients with poor spleen and stomach had better not eat greasy food.
& gt& gt code of conduct 2
Treat hearing and avoid strenuous activities.
During the treatment of otolaryngology diseases by acupuncture, besides avoiding smoking, alcohol and pepper, we should also pay attention to adjusting our lifestyle. Gao, director of the East Hospital Deafness Treatment Center of Beijing Military Region General Hospital, specially reminded patients that it is not advisable to watch TV, use computers, listen to walkman and talk on mobile phones for a long time during the treatment, otherwise the treatment effect may be affected.
At the same time, you can't do strenuous activities during the treatment, and it is not suitable for long-distance running, playing football and swimming. Otherwise, it will cause poor blood supply to the brain and cochlear microcirculation disorder, which will lead to. In the half year after treatment, we should also watch TV and computer as little as possible and listen to the walkman as little as possible, so as not to cause cerebral vasospasm, cause microcirculation disturbance in the inner ear and affect the treatment effect.
& gt& gt code of conduct 3
cooperate
Now acupuncture weight loss, as a means, has been carried out in many medical institutions. Ms. Zhang, a citizen, told the reporter that her friend lost thirty or forty pounds through acupuncture weight loss. However, experts warn that acupuncture weight loss also has its indications. To pass through acupuncture weight loss, it is best to determine the type of obesity.
Chen Wu, a doctor in Beijing * * * Hospital, said that acupuncture weight loss is the most effective for simple obesity caused by overeating. If obesity is caused by genetic factors, the effect is not obvious. For symptomatic obesity caused by some diseases, acupuncture weight loss is also ineffective if the primary disease is not effectively treated first. For example, obesity caused by pituitary adenoma should be treated before acupuncture weight loss can be effective.
Moreover, the younger you use acupuncture weight loss, the better, preferably before the age of 25, the better in your teens. If a woman is in her forties and has endocrine disorders, it will take a long time to pass through acupuncture weight loss.
In addition, experts also stressed that during acupuncture weight loss, it is necessary to cooperate with dietotherapy, and if possible, it is best to cooperate with exercise.
& gt& gt code of conduct 4
Acupuncture should not be performed during pregnancy.
Some citizens think that you should not take medicine indiscriminately, especially in the first few months of pregnancy. It is recommended to go to acupuncture if you have any diseases.
In this regard, Chen Wu reminded that acupuncture should not be done during pregnancy, because many acupuncture points in the lumbosacral region, abdomen and body of pregnant women are not suitable for acupuncture, otherwise it may induce labor and lead to abortion.
& gt& gt code of conduct 5
Cold and mild asthma do not affect acupuncture.
Chief physician Hu Hui, director of the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Oriental Hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, also reminded that children with mental illness who are not easy to cooperate with acupuncture and moxibustion treatment should not be treated with acupuncture because they are in a critical period. But a cold or mild asthma attack does not hinder acupuncture treatment.
Young people, fans, fans.
