Acupuncture is older than traditional Chinese medicine in China, and it can be said that the earliest medical technique discovered by our ancestors was acupuncture. More than half of the Chinese medical classic “Huang Di Nei Jing”, which was written more than two thousand years ago, talks about the theory and technique of acupuncture, and it can be said that every disease can be treated using acupuncture as the main means of treatment. The Yellow Emperor said, “Yu Zi Wanmin, who feeds the people and collects their rents and taxes. I grieve that they do not give, and the genera have diseases. I want not to make the poison, no use of acupuncture stones, want to use the micro-needle, through its meridians, regulate its blood, and camp its reverse and smooth in and out of the meeting”. Obviously, acupuncture is preferred over drugs and acupuncture stones. The advantages of acupuncture and moxibustion can be said to be very prominent and far superior to other treatments currently popular in the world. For thousands of years, acupuncture has created countless medical miracles in clinical practice. What reason is there to doubt acupuncture? But patients only remember acupuncture when western medical treatment is ineffective, why not use acupuncture at an early stage to prevent problems before they occur? The majority of patients feel comfortable after acupuncture, regardless of their chronic illnesses. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine mentions the efficacy of acupuncture: “The effect of the letter, if the wind blows the clouds, clear as if to see the sky.” The ancient people compared the healing effect after acupuncture to the wind blowing clouds as fast. The main reason is that acupuncture directly on the acupuncture points, through the meridian conduction, outreach skin, hair, limbs, internal organs, can immediately receive the effect of the needle to the disease light. Moreover, acupuncture has advantages in treating acute diseases. In particular, for some very obvious symptoms, such as various acute pain, hypertensive crisis, spasm, inflammation, asthma attack, etc., can be immediately effective. This is incomparable to any other medical treatment method. Since its beginning two thousand years ago, acupuncture has been an important treatment for acute illnesses. But in recent years, people don’t believe in acupuncture anymore, they don’t know that acupuncture can be used for emergency treatment, and this has delayed many patients’ conditions instead, which is a pity. What is an emergency? It is the sudden loss of balance of yin and yang of the internal organs and qi and blood caused by various reasons. Acupuncture has the function of balancing yin and yang and harmonizing qi and blood, so it can treat acute illnesses. The more obvious the symptoms are, the easier it is for acupuncture to achieve results. In clinical practice, a large number of acute diseases, including various kinds of pain, such as lumbago, trigeminal neuralgia, toothache, headache, neck pain, sciatica, stomach pain, abdominal pain, and so on, are stopped by needling into the pain, and many patients even say that the pain is gone before you finish needling. Then there is an acute asthma attack, take three ear points, the needle into that stop, not at all slower than the effect of Western medicine. Children with high fever, needle once, instantly reduce fever. Hypertension dangerous period, high blood pressure to more than 200, the needle can be backed down, the patient immediately do not dizzy, that is, for the prevention of stroke is very effective. Second, convenience: a needle in the hand, immediately relieve the suffering of the disease, no need to buy medicine, decoction and other procedures, is extremely convenient treatment method. Especially in the critical moment of saving emergency, the advantages of acupuncture are very obvious. In the acute phase of a sudden stroke, acupuncture treatment by family members in the first instance can save the patient’s life and greatly reduce the after-effects. It can be said that acupuncture excels in treating a wide range of clinical conditions. The World Health Organization considers that acupuncture can treat more than 300 kinds of diseases, including subhealth states, acute diseases, painful diseases, various difficult diseases caused by the dysfunction of internal organs, mental illness (psychosis), etc. In other words, acupuncture can not only treat functional diseases, but also repair the damage to the substantive organ system. Some people may not believe that acupuncture can cure the damage of internal organs. In fact, acupuncture treats diseases through the qi flow of meridians, while yang transforms qi and yin forms. When the yang energy is transformed, the natural yin essence can be formed, the substantial damage can be repaired and the disease can be cured, such as breast lumps, after acupuncture treatment, the lumps completely disappeared. Acupuncture is the highest level of Chinese medicine. If medicine can create miracles, I think the first is acupuncture. The key to acupuncture for healing is the smooth flow of qi. And the rise and fall of qi (qiqi) is life. What acupuncture adjusts is qi, which means it adjusts the state of life. This is not only theoretically proven, but also clinically when acupuncture is used to treat miscellaneous diseases, the magic of acupuncture can indeed be experienced. It can be clearly said that the ability of acupuncture treatment is incomparable to Western medicine and Chinese medicine. It should be said that a good medical method necessary for several conditions: 1, no or less toxic side effects; 2, suitable for a variety of clinical conditions; 3, easy to operate and apply, safe; 4, with a certain degree of scientific, advanced, repeatable, can be popularized, acupuncture has all these conditions! Four, natural: acupuncture is a true natural therapy. The current prevailing naturopathy is a school of thought that advocates the use of nutritional therapy, and natural animals, plants, and minerals to cure diseases and save people, but still relies on things outside the body, unlike acupuncture, which uses the body’s own qi and blood to treat diseases, and is based entirely on the human physiological mechanism. Acupuncture is our national treasure, and it is only right that Chinese people learn some of it. As a patient, it is even more important to know something about acupuncture so that you can help yourself to recover faster.
