Acupuncture is actually a TCM general practice. I personally believe that a good acupuncturist should have the concept of a TCM general practitioner. Over the years of practicing medicine, many of them were consulted for gastrointestinal diseases or consulted with gastrointestinal diseases as concurrent evidence, and the clinical results were encouraging. Some have gone through formal examinations, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, barium meal, barium enema, ultrasound, etc., and come to conclusions about various gastritis (ulcer), gastroptosis, duodenitis (ulcer), colitis (ulcer), intestinal dysfunction, etc.; some have not been examined. However, all gastrointestinal diseases are always nothing more than poor appetite, lack of energy, lack of color, bloating and stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and acidity, abdominal distension and pain, constipation and diarrhea, etc. Chinese medicine view is: (spleen) the stomach is the origin of the latter, the source of biochemical. The stomach is the sea of water and grain, the main “accept the decay”, that is, in charge of the Sheng received, digestion; large intestine and small intestine, the main “clearing and secretion of turbidity, the transfer of things”, that is, in charge of absorption, excretion. They occupy three of the six internal organs, are connected up and down, and their functions are related. All of them are to pass for use, to pass for smooth. 1, daily health care: as the saying goes, the disease should be treated in three points, seven points of nourishment, this is the most appropriate for gastrointestinal disease. First of all, the diet should be regular, three meals a day on time or under the guidance of the doctor eat more meals; second, the type of diet should be scientifically balanced, the main and supplementary food complete and appropriate amount, easy to digest; third, in the intestines and stomach is not healthy to avoid cold, fatty, sweet, thick and greasy, spicy and dry, tobacco, alcohol, strong tea, strong coffee, usually eat less (drink). Fourth, absolutely avoid overeating and alcohol abuse. Fifth, keep a relaxed mood, stress can not be too much, many gastrointestinal disease is too much mental tension caused. These five points are clichés, but must be noted. 2, Chinese medicine box: usually bad appetite, stomach and abdominal fullness, white and thick tongue coating when taking Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan or Xiang Sha Yang Gastric pill; bad appetite, bloating, loose stools with pale face, dizziness, sleep is not good when taking the spleen pill; irritable, abdominal distension and more gas when taking Yi Yao Wan; cold or eat cold food vomiting and diarrhea to take Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Liquid (pill); occasionally eat more to take Bao He Pill or stomach stomach dissipation tablets a few times on the line The other cases mentioned above are The other cases above take medicine such as feeling good on the right pharmacology, should take 2 bottles (box) or more, in order to consolidate the effect. 3, acupuncture points: Chinese medicine believes that the internal organs will be in the hypochondrium, with gastric disease in the hypochondriac points have pressure pain, often press the benefits, Chinese medicine also said, “to be safe, Guan Yuan, San Li often do not dry”. This means that regular moxibustion or rubbing of the Guan Yuan and San Li points can strengthen the body and promote digestion and metabolism in many ways. It is the top of the list of points for gastrointestinal diseases. Guan Yuan is one horizontal palm width below the navel; Zhong Gui is in the center of the upper abdomen (above the navel is the epigastrium) and is painful (real evidence) or comfortable (deficiency) when pressed by stomach patients; Foot San Li is in the lower leg, one horizontal palm width below the patella (longitudinal coordinates) and one thumb width next to the tibia (horizontal coordinates). About 2 – 3 cm on either side of the spine on the back opposite to the central cavity are the spleen and stomach yu. The two tiger mouths pinch the ribs, with the thumbs in front, on a horizontal line with the middle epigastric, and the four fingers in the back, about 3 cm from the spine, exactly in the area of the Spleen and Stomach Yu, and the adjacent Bile and Sanjiao Yu are also important points in digestion, so there is no fear of lack of accuracy. There are also the most convenient Hegu (Tiger’s mouth) and Neiguan (3 – 4 cm above the wrist, palm side). Acute diarrhea should be acupuncture Tianshu (3 cm on either side of the navel) Guangyuan, which is more effective than infusion. Regularly rub these points, the actual evidence will be painful to press, the deficiency will be comfortable to press, should be more rubbed. Solid evidence can also cupping, deficiency disease, then more moxibustion. Over time, the gastrointestinal disease will get better. 4, seek medical advice: If the condition is serious, you should find a regular hospital internal medicine, especially gastroenterology system standardized treatment, many gastric disease due to irregular medication or insufficient course of treatment and other reasons affect the recovery. Acupuncture has quite good effect on those who cannot tolerate Chinese and Western medicines, such as chronic stomach pain, chronic diarrhea, and even improvement for patients after gastric cancer surgery!
