Understanding acupuncture point buried wire therapy

Acupuncture point burial therapy is an extension of acupuncture, which is a meridian therapy. It is a modern acupuncture alternative therapy that buries human absorbable bioprotein thread (sheep intestine thread) into acupuncture points to achieve long-lasting stimulation of acupuncture points and unblock meridians, thus preventing and treating diseases. After stimulating the meridian points, the sheep intestine thread plays the dual effect of acupuncture points and drugs, which improves the immunity of the body, regulates the nerve function and improves blood circulation. This small piece of thread is like an acupuncture needle for continuous stimulation of acupuncture points, except that it does not expose the body surface and does not affect daily activities except for a slight swelling sensation. The lamb’s intestine thread is shaped like a grass-green sewing thread. After being placed in the acupuncture point, the thread will gradually soften, liquefy and be absorbed in the tissues, which takes about 2 to 4 weeks to be completely absorbed by the body and does not need to be removed. The body’s acupuncture points can also be buried again after the lamb’s intestine thread is completely absorbed, and there will be no side effects. This therapy is not recorded in ancient books, but is a modern acupuncture therapy developed by recent people in long-term clinical practice in accordance with the principle of meridians. It originated from the improvement of acupuncture point buried needle therapy in the 1950s. When acupuncture or acupuncture points, external force stimulates the acupuncture point, and once the needle or finger leaves the point, the stimulation of the acupuncture point disappears, for example, when a patient has an attack of gastric ulcer and the pain is unbearable, the Chinese doctor will use acupuncture treatment to stick a needle at the point of “foot three li” of the patient, and the pain will be relieved immediately, but after starting the needle, the pain will still The pain would be relieved immediately. Later, the doctor buried a needle in the patient’s “foot three miles” point and let it stimulate the point for a long time. From this point of view, acupuncture point buried wire therapy is a long-acting acupuncture therapy, to make up for the original acupuncture needle short time, the number of needles, the effect is not long-lasting, the disease is not easy to consolidate the defects. Acupuncture points were first used for the treatment of post-polio. This is a nerve damage disease, acupuncture treatment has a certain effect, but the need for uninterrupted treatment of adult months, extremely inconvenient. With the use of acupuncture point buried wire treatment, the patient only needs to go to the hospital once every other month to bury the wire, the effect is similar to daily acupuncture. Because of the convenience of the buried threads, the treatment of diseases such as chronic asthma, chronic rhinitis, gastritis, urticaria, psoriasis, and lumbar and leg pain was quickly expanded. However, the buried thread method at that time was very primitive, complicated and traumatic to operate. After the year 2000, new buried wire instruments were introduced. The special needle is very slim and the procedure is as simple as an intramuscular injection, taking only a few minutes to complete, without anesthesia and almost painless. Acupuncture point buried thread therapy was quickly expanded for the treatment of simple obesity and intractable facial palsy. Compared to traditional acupuncture, the acupuncture point buried wire method has many advantages: (1) It extends the duration of action of traditional acupuncture. The therapeutic effect of traditional acupuncture disappears a little after the needles are removed and lasts for a few hours at most, while the therapeutic effect of buried threads in acupuncture points persists. (2) Convenient for patients. The efficacy of one buried thread is equivalent to one month of continuous acupuncture, and the patient only needs to be buried once a month without going to the hospital for acupuncture every day. Moreover, each operation takes only a few minutes, and the patient’s daily work is not affected. The Department of Acupuncture and Tuina is now carrying out this program, mainly for the treatment of chronic and persistent diseases and simple obesity, etc. The efficacy is remarkable, and patients are welcome to visit.
