Paraplegia, from the TCM point of view, is caused by a fall, a fall, or a gravitational pressure that damages the Governor’s Vessel. In the Book of Difficulties – Twenty-eight Difficulties: “The Governor’s Vessel starts from the lower pole of the infusion, and in the spine, goes up to the Fengfu, enters the brain, goes up to the top, follows the forehead, and goes to the nasal column.” (Starting from the middle of the cell, going down from the Huiyin, going straight up along the inside of the spinal column, entering the skull at the point of Fengfu behind the neck, contacting the brain, and from the neck along the middle line of the head, going up to the top of the pinnacle, along the middle of the forehead, in the middle of the nasal column, and to the upper lip ties.) The so-called Governor, that is, has the meaning of general control, unification. The Governor Vessel regulates the whole body’s Yang meridians and is known as the “Sea of Yang”. The main reason is that the Governor Vessel travels in the middle of the back, which is Yang, and intersects with the three Yang meridians of the hands and feet many times, concentrating on the large vertebrae and the Baihui points. In addition, the Directing Vessel travels in the spine and upward into the brain, the brain is the “House of the Gods”, the Gods master the functions of the body, active, moving is Yang, Yang into Qi and Yin into form. Yang is the function, and if Yang is damaged, the overall function declines. When the Governor Vessel is injured, the meridians do not run smoothly and are blocked, so they cannot nourish the muscles and bones, nor can they invigorate the functions of the internal organs, which eventually leads to the deficiency of both yin and yang. Therefore, when treating palsy, the role of the Governor’s Vessel should be emphasized, and at the same time, the meridians that intersect with it and the overall function of the internal organs should be regulated in order to effectively promote the recovery of the function of the Governor’s Vessel and the improvement of the general condition. For the cause of the disease under the theory of yin and yang of the internal organs in Chinese medicine, we have to warm the yang and open the veins as the main method of treatment, and the acupuncture points are preferred to the Governor’s meridian, which is the key. In addition, you can also use the Yang back through the meridians and acupuncture points, such as the Hua Tuo pinch point, the back of the foot sun bladder meridian points, acupuncture pinch point acupuncture points, in essence, to assist in the treatment of the Governor’s method. In addition to acupuncture, the application of moxibustion should also be emphasized. Of course, moxibustion can also be used with medicine, such as moxibustion across the ginger cake, there are warm yang to supplement the weakness, warming the role of blood vessels. Here are a few sets of acupuncture points, listed below: 1, treatment of the Governor method points such as Baihui, Fengfu, Dazhi, Tao Dao, body pillar, Shen Dao, Zhiyang, tendon shrinkage, spinal cord, hanging pivot, life-gate, waist Yangguan, Changqiang dredge the Governor vein, tonify the marrow and strengthen the brain According to the theoretical understanding of “injury to the Governor vein”, in the treatment of paraplegia, we must first seize the main contradiction in the treatment –Spinal nerve damage. Therefore, “the first treatment for paraplegia is to take care of the Governor’s Vessel” is to grasp the key point of this disease. 2, treatment of the spinal cord method to channel Yang Qi and regulate the internal organs Due to the injury of the Governor’s Vessel, the meridians can not pass up and down; and the spinal cord point is close to the Governor’s Vessel, and its function is to support the Yang of the Governor’s Vessel and help the Qi of the bladder. This allows the Qi of the Governor’s Vessel to circulate from both sides and cross the injured position to reach it, and facilitates the repair of the injury to the Governor’s Vessel. 3.Treating the dorsal Yu point method Wu Dou Yu plus Di Yu formula. Tune the five superiors to benefit the Qi and Blood Although the Directing Vessel can supervise the Yang Qi of the whole body, the five organs are weak, the successive heavens are out of order, and the Qi and Blood have no source of transformation. If the Yang energy is weakened, there is no Yang to unify the Governor Vessel, and the damaged Governor Vessel itself also needs Qi and Blood to moisten it. 4, treatment of bladder meridian method foot sun bladder with kidney meridian. The kidneys are used to regulate the two stools, and the main function of the bladder is qi-chemistry. After the injury of the Governor’s Vessel, the second stool is out of control and is one of the main symptoms. The significance of taking the bladder and kidney meridian points is to regulate the function of the second stool and to strengthen the back and spine and tendons. 5.Treatment of the Ren Vessel method of the Ren Vessel with the two meridian points of the liver and stomach. It is necessary to take the Ren Vessel to regulate yin and yang qi and blood. At the same time, the heart point (Ju Que), stomach point (Zhongyu), small intestine point (Guan Yuan), and bladder point (Zhongji) are all in the Ren Vessel, so taking these points and matching them with the Yu points, as well as with the two meridian points of the liver and stomach, focuses on treating the origin of the latter. 6. Treatment of the spleen and stomach method of foot Yangming Stomach meridian with Spleen meridian. Regulating the stomach and swelling, nourishing the blood and glorying the tendons The Su Wen – Treatise on Impotence says: “Those who treat impotence, take only Yang Ming, why?” Qibo said: “Yangming is the sea of the five Tibetan and six provinces, the main moisten the zong tendons, the zong tendons are the main bones and the organs. In short, that is, “the treatment of impotence only take Yangming” said. The stomach is the sea of the five viscera and six bowels, the source of Qi and blood biochemistry, the stomach is full of Qi and blood, the internal organs of Qi and blood function to coordinate, the body muscles, tendons and bones are dependent on nourishment. Damage to the Directing Vessel depletes Yang Qi, and the organs, limbs and bones all depend on the Spleen and Stomach for nourishment. The importance of taking Yangming with Spleen meridian points is obvious, as the Spleen and the Stomach are in close proximity to each other and are the basis for the treatment of paralysis. Although the treatment of impotence is somewhat absolute and simplistic, its importance cannot be ignored. 7. Treatment of liver and gall bladder method foot Shaoyang gall bladder meridian with liver meridian. The main purpose of selecting the points of the bile meridian is to de-escalate Shaoyang, harmonize Qi and blood, and facilitate joints. This is because the bile meridian and the liver meridian are in close proximity to each other. The liver governs the tendons and the bile governs the joints. If the tendons and joints are smooth and strong, they will move flexibly and function well. 8, treatment of the foot three yin method foot three yin meridian with the stomach meridian. Nourish Yin and Blood, slow spasm and quench the wind As the interface of spinal cord injury varies in height, if the upper unit injury is manifested as spastic paralysis (also known as rigid paralysis), clinically seen with the lower limbs constricted twin can not be stretched, Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly due to deficiency of Yin and Blood, tendons and veins loss of nourishment. The purpose is to nourish Yin, nourish Blood and soften tendons, tonify the kidneys, soften the liver and slow down anxiety, invigorate the Spleen, invigorate Blood and open the channels, and then regulate the two bowels. 9, treatment of hand three yang method hand three yang meridian with pericardium meridian. Diversion of Yang energy, blood circulation and blood vessels For paraplegia with upper limb paralysis, it is necessary to take the Hand Sanyang meridian points with the Xinbao meridian points, aiming to dredge the meridians, harmonize the Rongwei, invigorate the blood and remove blood stasis, and strengthen the muscles and tendons of the elbow, arm, wrist and finger joints. 10, the treatment of hand Sanyin method hand Sanyin with Sanjiao, large intestine meridian. To nourish the blood and calm the mind, soften the tendons and open the collaterals.
