Generally speaking, when it comes to acupuncture, we will think of slender needles penetrating into the human body. Actually, acupuncture can be divided into acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture is a common way to penetrate the human body with acupuncture, and moxibustion is to stimulate the body. Usually our bodies bleed when they are damaged. Why does acupuncture seem safer without bleeding? Why does acupuncture not bleed?

1. Why doesn't acupuncture bleed?

The needles we usually see are generally shallow parts, and needles stuck in the skin will not puncture capillaries, so they generally will not bleed; Another reason is that acupuncture needles are generally small, and the pressure on cells in the skin is not enough to make them bleed.

2. Does acupuncture bleed?

Accurately speaking, not all acupuncture methods will not bleed. For example, it is mentioned in Huangdi Neijing that low back pain caused by imbalance of yin and yang should be treated. One of them is to treat low back pain caused by "moderate-heat asthma", and it is necessary to "stab the foot with less yin and stab the stomach with bleeding", that is, to stab the stomach. This example shows that acupuncture treatment can also lead to bleeding.

3. Acupuncture must be "accurate"

Next, let's talk about why the needle we see doesn't bleed. Similarly, in Huangdi Neijing, the treatise on Su Wen's porcelain mainly discusses the depth difference of acupuncture. Acupuncture needles are very particular, mainly in a quasi-word.

If you want to treat it by biting, you can't hurt your muscles; Stab the tendons, not the meat; To stab the meat, not to hurt the pulse; To stab the pulse, not to hurt the skin; To stab the skin, not the meat; To stab the meat, not the muscles; Stabbing tendons can't hurt bones. The first four explanations are that acupuncture should not be too shallow if it is deep, and the last three explanations are that acupuncture should not be too deep if it is shallow. In short, it is fragmented, no more, no less.

4. Acupuncture must be in place.

Why are you doing this? For example, if the disease is in the skin, the needle should be stuck in the skin, so as not to hurt the meat, otherwise it will bring harm to the body; If the disease is in the bone, the needle should go deep into the bone. If you only touch the tendon, you have to pull it out. Instead of removing the disease from the bone, it will cause damage to the tendon.

5. Side effects of acupuncture and moxibustion

1, infectious diseases

Acupuncture acupuncture will definitely need to acupuncture human points. According to the standard hygienic requirements of acupuncture and moxibustion, acupuncture and moxibustion should use disposable needles for one person, one point and one needle or non-disposable needles that must be soaked and disinfected at high temperature after each injection. However, not all clinics or medical institutions will follow strict hygiene standards, which makes acupuncture bear such side effects and easily cause infection. Therefore, when choosing a place in acupuncture weight loss, consumers must go to a regular place and conduct on-site investigation to observe whether the disinfection equipment is sound.

2, dizzy needle coma

In the process of acupuncture, some people will feel dizzy. Although these cases are rare, they are also a possible phenomenon, which tests the technical level of acupuncturists. In addition, if the acupuncturist does not handle it properly, there will be needle stagnation, dizziness, bending and other phenomena, which will also pose a greater threat to the human body. This so-called side effect can be avoided on the premise of choosing a doctor with rich experience in acupuncture in a regular institution.

3, damage to internal organs

Many MM who go to acupuncture weight loss want to go to thin belly, so an abdominal injection is inevitable. The risk of abdominal acupuncture is that it is easy to stab the internal organs if it is not used properly. This goes back to the technical level of the acupuncturist.
