Proper understanding of TCM and acupuncture

Chinese medicine is a unique scientific and cultural knowledge of the Chinese nation, carrying the experience and theoretical knowledge of the ancient Chinese people in their struggle against diseases. Chinese medicine itself has the concept of Taoism and nature. To follow the Tao is to recognize that the world has a self-operating system. This system has some instinctive power to be used by us. This dao method of nature embodies the idea of a kind of inaction. What is the Tao of Chinese medicine? It is nothingness, not inaction. Nothing is the ability of nature to self-organize, self-heal, and self-adjust. The human body also has a self-organizing, self-repairing, self-adjusting ability after an injury. For example, if you cut your hand, did you order it to heal or did it heal itself? This self-healing is what we call Wu Wei. The greatest characteristic of Chinese medicine is that it can mobilize this “nothingness” and restore the body to a normal state. In Western medicine, it is very early to intervene artificially. This intervention process may damage our “nothing”. Meridians, what are meridians? This is a great invention of our Chinese people. Meridians are roads, which are used to walk people and transport various things. Good people can walk on the road, bad people can also walk; meridians are the roads in the human body, used to run qi and blood, of course, positive qi can run on the meridians, but evil qi and disease qi can also be spread all over the meridians. The meridians are full of acupuncture points, the well-known health points, foot three miles, three yin jiao, hegu and so on. The function of the acupuncture points is usually bi-directional, that is, the high ones can be lowered and the low ones can be raised. It does not cause any side effects, rather the side effects are artificially caused. The acupuncture points are part of the body’s self-recovery, and it recovers very completely without causing any side effects. Acupuncture points have specific pointing, that is, not which point you press will work. Some diseases can only be treated with specific acupuncture points. The peculiarities of acupuncture points, in this case, means that some points you have to press to work, some you have to scrape to work, some you have to needle to work, and some need to bleed. So different acupuncture points require different amounts of stimulation. This is a very important part of our understanding of acupuncture points. Timing, many people don’t understand what timing means. I once had a patient who had a headache during her period and still had a vague headache after regulating her period. He was instructed to see the doctor at his next menstrual period. After puncturing the head and dimensional bleeding. The pain was gone by the time of the third menstrual period, and it was observed for three months without recurrence. So what is the timing? The timing is the best time to treat the disease, the earlier the better, the more critical the better. Many diseases can be recovered if the body’s self-healing power is not destroyed. Many people think that Chinese medicine is slower than Western medicine in treating diseases, but it is not. Chinese medicine can go straight to the heart of the matter when it comes to most diseases, which is incomparable to Western medicine. “The meridians, so can decide life and death, deal with all diseases, adjust the reality, can not be inaccessible.”
