Acupuncture is a familiar thing, which is of great help to our health. Regular acupuncture can reduce the occurrence of diseases and adjust the imbalance between yin and yang, but we must pay attention to it when acupuncture. Only correct acupuncture can ensure our health. So what is the main therapeutic function of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine? Please see the introduction below.

1, dizziness caused by deficiency of kidney yin and hyperactivity of liver yang.

It belongs to yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity syndrome. According to the principle of "Yin diseases treat Yang, Yang diseases treat Yin", it is advisable to nourish yin and suppress Yang, take Taixi point, the acupoint of kidney meridian yin deficiency, and acupuncture to supplement it; Take the connection line between acupoints of the liver meridian of Foot Jueyin, and acupuncture and diarrhea.

2. Chronic diarrhea caused by spleen-yang deficiency.

It belongs to yang deficiency and yin excess, so it is appropriate to warm yang and dispel cold. Take Taiyin spleen meridian point, Yinlingquan and other points, supplemented by acupuncture. Because Yin and Yang Can are mutually transformed and influenced, Yang should be considered when treating Yin, and Yin should also be considered when treating Yang. When harmonizing yin and yang, the method of "yin leading to yang and yang leading to yin" is often adopted. The most commonly used method in clinic is to regulate yin and yang of zang-fu organs with Muxue and Beishu points.

3. Strengthen the body and eliminate evil spirits

The development of disease is a process of struggle between healthy qi and evil qi. The development and outcome of diseases are determined by the strength of healthy qi and pathogenic qi. Evil is better than a common disease, and if it is better than evil, the disease will be alleviated. Therefore, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors are indispensable to ensure the benign outcome of the disease. Acupuncture treatment lies in its function of strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil spirits.

4, dredge meridians

The meridian system is distributed in the whole body, connected vertically and horizontally, crossing in and out, communicating the exterior and interior, and connecting the upper and lower parts, forming the blood circulation channel of the human body and maintaining the normal physiological functions of the human body.

If, due to various reasons, the meridians are blocked, the viscera and limbs lose their temperature and nutrition, and qi and blood are blocked, there will be many diseases, either stagnation or stasis, or deficiency or excess, or cold or heat, or qi and blood imbalance, or yin and yang imbalance.

Acupuncture can use its function of "dredging meridians and harmonizing qi and blood" to treat diseases. According to the physiological and pathological relationship and interaction mechanism between meridians and viscera, some acupoints are selected for acupuncture or moxibustion within the distribution route and contact range of meridians, so as to make the meridians smooth, operate moderately, harmonize qi and blood, and balance yin and yang.

Although acupuncture is good, not everyone can do it at any time. The following points should be kept in mind.

1, excessive hunger, fatigue

Acupuncture should be carried out after rest and eating, otherwise it will easily cause dizziness. The manifestations of dizziness are sudden mental fatigue, dizziness, palpitation, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, pale face, cold sweat and so on. If there is such a situation, you should inform the doctor in time. Generally, patients with acupuncture can return to normal after lying down and resting.

2. The pain caused by acupuncture is mainly caused when acupuncture penetrates into the skin.

The acupuncturist can reduce most of the pain to a completely tolerable degree. Please don't be nervous for patients who receive acupuncture for the first time, and try to relax for acupuncture. After acupuncture into the skin, the general patient will feel acid, numbness, swelling and heaviness under the needle, or feel hot, cold, itchy, twitching and ant-shaped, and some acupoints will sometimes have different degrees of electric shock or acupuncture conduction and diffusion and other phenomena. This is a normal acupuncture reaction, which is called "getting angry" in Chinese medicine.

3. During acupuncture operation, patients should take a comfortable and natural position.

Otherwise, it is easy to get tired during needle retention; Don't move your limbs when you leave the needle, so as to avoid adverse consequences such as needle folding and needle body displacement and accidental injury to tissues. Some patients have some local discomfort, which usually disappears within a few hours.

4. If you feel pain after acupuncture into the skin.

It may be that the needle tip touches a blood vessel. Please tell the doctor so as to adjust the acupuncture direction and avoid the blood vessel. Acupuncture sometimes encounters small blood vessels and causes bleeding, which is inevitable. It is harmless to the human body except for some parts that affect the appearance. When there is a small blood bag at the pinhole, press it with force for more than 3 minutes, and some small pieces are blue-purple. Generally, they don't need to be treated, and they can gradually disappear by themselves.

5, acupuncture needles should be closed.

Reading books, reading newspapers and chatting on mobile phones will reduce the curative effect of acupuncture.

6, pinhole skin should be kept clean.

Generally, do not touch water within 2 hours after injection to prevent infection. Cut the treatment area with fire needle, acupuncture, pricking blood or auricular points. Generally, don't touch water on the day of needle eye. The skin of diabetic patients is easily infected, so it is necessary to keep the local skin clean.

7. When using a baking lamp or moxibustion.

It is advisable to maintain a comfortable and warm feeling at local acupoints. If you feel too hot, you should inform the doctor in time to avoid scalding. If the patient's skin sensory function declines, he should also inform the doctor so as not to cause burns unconsciously. When cupping and leaving the can, it usually takes no more than 10 minutes, otherwise blisters will easily form. Ask the patient to cooperate with the doctor to remember the time.
