I. Acupuncture for weight loss principle

Acupuncture reduces weight by stimulating meridians and points to adjust the hypothalamus - hypophysis - Adrenal cortex And sympathetic - Adrenal medulla The two systems function to accelerate the basal metabolic rate, thereby promoting fat metabolism, increasing heat production, and making the accumulated fat consumed; Then adjust, improve and repair the body's own balance.

"Huangdi Neijing" said: "Hide cold full disease, its treatment should be moxibustion", which refers to moxibustion, which describes in detail Nine kinds of needles It also describes the theory and technique of acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture has been popular in China for more than two thousand years and has spread to the world. The appearance of acupuncture, however, was even earlier.

In ancient times, people were accidentally hit by some pointed hard objects, such as stones, thorns and other parts of the body surface, there will be unexpected pain to be alleviated. Ancient people began to consciously stab certain parts of the body with some sharp stones or artificially prick the body to make it bleed to relieve pain. People have mastered the technology of digging and grinding, and can make some of the more exquisite stone tools suitable for piercing the body to treat diseases. This stone tool is the oldest medical tool Stone needle . People used stone needle to cut into certain parts of the body to cure diseases.

Stone needle was also more commonly used in surgery at that time Suppurative infection The incision of the pus discharge, so it is also called Needle stone Or stone. " The Classic of Mountains and Rivers It is said: "There is a stone like jade, can be a needle", is an early record of stone needles. Stone needle objects have been found in archaeology in China.

Moxibustion came into being after the discovery and use of fire. In the process of using fire, people found that the pain of a certain part of the body was relieved or relieved by the burning and baking of fire, and then they learned to wrap the heated stones and sand with animal skins or bark Hot iron Gradually developed to burn branches or bake hay to cure diseases.

After a long period of exploration, moxa leaves, which are inflammable and have the effect of warming merses, were chosen as the main material of moxibustion treatment, and warm and hot stimulation was carried out locally on the body surface, so that moxibustion and acupuncture became an important method of disease prevention and treatment. Because mugwort leaves are easy to burn, fragrant, rich in resources, easy to process and store, it later became the most important moxibustion treatment raw materials.

"Fingering and needling" gradually developed into acupuncture, "heat and ironing" gradually developed into moxibustion, which is the predecessor of acupuncture therapy.

Needle "needle", traditional as "needle", the word from gold to salty, "gold" means "metal", such as gold, silver, bronze and other materials, "salty" means "sour", "gold" and "salty" combined to say: "a sour feeling of the instrument". It is not ruled out that the ancient people used fried bamboo needles as disposable needles, which is called "Zhen", and the "salty" in its font is still the meaning of "sour".

Science of acupuncture and moxibustion origin China Has a long history. Legend has it that acupuncture originated Three emperors and five emperors From time to time Fuxi He invented acupuncture and moxibustion, he "tasted a hundred medicines and made nine needles" (medical scientists in the Western Jin Dynasty of The Three Kingdoms) Hwang Mi Recorded in Imperial century "). And according to ancient texts, The Classic of Mountains and Rivers "And" The Internal Canon of Medicine It is useful to "stone 篯" to Pierce the record of carbuncle, and "Mencius" : "seven years of disease, seeking three years of AI", and then according to the historical relics dug up all over our country today, the origin of "acupuncture and moxibustion therapy" is in Stone Age . At that time, when people had some pain or discomfort, they unconsciously massaged, beat, and even pressed the pain and discomfort with sharp stone tools, so that the original symptoms were reduced or disappeared. The earliest needles: Stone needle Also born. With the continuous development of ancient wisdom and social productivity, needles gradually developed into bronze needles, iron needles, gold needles, Silver needle , until today used stainless steel needle.

According to legend, Huaxia civilization The first ancestor of Fuxi is TCM The inventor of acupuncture. Fuxi did not only paint gossip He tied ropes as nets, taught people to hunt fields, and "tasted a hundred medicines and made nine needles" ( The Eastern Han Dynasty (206 B.C.) Hwang Mi Recorded in Imperial century "), "Taste the grass to make Fen" ( The Southern Song Dynasty rhododendron Recorded in Road history "). Needle means stone needle, that is Huaxia nation The earliest acupuncture. The origin of moxibustion is closely related to the discovery and use of fire. When the body has some discomfort, it can be reduced by roasting with fire, and then various branches are used as moxibustion tools moxibustion .

The acupuncture treatment method was formed in the long historical process, and its academic thought also followed Clinical medicine The accumulation of experience gradually perfected. 1973 Changsha Mawangdui Among the medical manuscripts unearthed from Tomb No. 3 are Eleven pulse moxibustion meridian of foot and arm "And" Yin-yang eleven pulse moxibustion meridian ", discusses the circulation distribution of eleven veins, Symptom of a disease Performance and moxibustion treatment, etc., has formed a complete Meridian system .

Acupuncture causes pain:

1. Pain when entering the skin, because the needle is not fast enough, the tip of the needle will stimulate the receptors of human nerve endings when entering the skin, causing people to feel pain.

There are two reasons:

First, the doctor is not in place.

Second, the needle is not sharp enough, or with barbs (rare nowadays, because most of them are disposable needles)

2. When the needle enters the body, the patient feels pain.

(1) Acupuncture into the vascular membrane wall or muscle Sensory nerve endings Strong stimulation causes the patient to feel pain, and if the stimulation is slowed down and slightly adjusted at this time, the patient can consciously disappear the symptoms.

Second, when acupuncture, there is a "needle feeling" such as acid hemp heavy swelling, and each person's brain determines the degree of pain is different, so it causes a variety of different feelings, acid hemp heavy swelling, is a manifestation of pain, and the patient's tolerance for its insufficient pain protection mechanism.

3. When the needle is pulled out, it passes through the skin and causes the same pain as the first one. There are two reasons for the pain after pulling out:

First, the residual feeling, that is, the needle feeling, is easy to have a sensitive physique, and is related to the state of the person at that time.

Second, when needling, because of the many capillaries in the body, there are punctures, resulting in subcutaneous congestion or bleeding, thus causing pain.

in Paris Participate all over Europe Traditional Chinese medicine Chinese and foreign experts at the 2003 Academic Annual meeting of the Expert Federation said that the Western medical community has increasingly understood and acknowledged the efficacy of acupuncture, and acupuncture has become a breakthrough for Chinese medicine to be accepted by the world.

Dr. Andre Hays, president of the French Acupuncture Association, believes that acupuncture can significantly reduce the symptoms and pain of patients, and Western medicine believes that reducing the symptoms or pain of patients is one of the important steps of treatment, it has an important role in the complete recovery of patients, enhance resistance, so acupuncture was first accepted by the Western medical community. The French Acupuncture Association has now become a medical association recognized by the French government, and in recent years, many medical universities in France have also added acupuncture courses, which is an important breakthrough for traditional Chinese medicine to break into Western mainstream medicine.

Dr. Zhu Mian Sheng, rotating president of the European Association of Chinese Medicine Experts in 2003, said that many years ago, Chinese medicine was still a marginal medical discipline in the West, and many experts engaged in Chinese medicine research were not recognized by Western governments. However, in recent years, Western national medical schools have shown interest in Chinese medicine, and some medical schools have set up Chinese medicine departments, students can get certificates after graduation, and opened, but Westerners are more accepted is still acupuncture. He said that the French Acupuncture Association, composed of French practicing doctors, has become one of the organizers of this academic conference, which shows that acupuncture represents traditional Chinese medicine and its status in the Western medical community has gradually improved.

Chinese Ambassador to France attending the meeting Zhao Jinjun Compared with acupuncture, Chinese medicine is not widely accepted in the West, the main reason is that Chinese medicine lacks a standardized and standardized quality system. Therefore, in order to make the medicine pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine Western medicine Acceptance, still need to develop more detailed production specifications and standards as soon as possible.

At this academic conference, the experts also believed that the international status and influence of traditional Chinese medicine to be fundamentally changed, there is a process of accumulation, the length of this process depends on two internal and external factors: the internal cause is to combine the advantages and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine with modern science and technology to realize the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine; The external reason is that it is necessary to deepen the international community's understanding and respect for traditional Chinese medicine, and integrate traditional Chinese medicine into the mainstream medical system, acupuncture is a good example. Of the two, internal causes are more important than external ones.

As of 2023 August On the 11th, Acupuncture is included in the medical insurance system in 20 countries ^[4] .

Chinese food, acupuncture, kung fu, Chinese medicine reputation overseas, can be called the "new four national essence". Acupuncture and moxibustion is another essence of Chinese culture that has spread to the West after Chinese food, and it is also a field in which China has truly influenced Western science and technology. Although traditional Chinese medicine came to the United States early with Chinese immigrants, it is generally accepted that acupuncture was officially introduced to the United States with Nixon's visit to China. Many Americans know that the trigger for the acupuncture craze was an article published in the New York Times.

One of the most widely circulated rumors about the introduction of acupuncture into the United States in the American acupuncture and medical circles is this: Among the members of Nixon's delegation to China, there was a young reporter with the delegation who was ill in China appendicitis He was admitted to a Chinese hospital. When Chinese doctors perform an appendectomy, they don't use anesthetic drugs Acupuncture analgesia Anesthesia. Surgery was a success. When the journalist returned to the United States, he published an article in The New York Times about his own experience, which sparked the acupuncture craze in the United States.

This story can be called the "beautiful legend" of the medical community, but what is the historical fact?

The original article in the New York Times was written by the famous American journalist James Reston (James Reston), at that time he was the director of the New York Times Washington bureau, good at political current affairs, his life performance is extraordinary, interviewed from Roosevelt to Bush and other American presidents and Zhou Enlai and Khrushchev and other world leaders. Mr. Roston, who won several journalism awards and later became a vice president at The New York Times, died in 1995.

The truth is that after Sino-American relations began to thaw, Nixon In July 1971, prior to the president's visit, Roston was sent to China for a reporting assignment and visited many units in Beijing, including a visit to the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for acupuncture treatment. But I had an unfortunate accident during the visit Acute appendicitis He underwent an appendectomy in a Chinese hospital using conventional drug anesthesia, experienced abdominal distension after surgery, underwent acupuncture, and then published his famous documentary in the New York Times in July 1971: "Let me tell you about my appendectomy in Beijing."

In 1971, Roston was already a veteran reporter over 60 years old. Due to his extraordinary experience and the status of the New York Times in the press, in the minds of ordinary Americans, the articles written by such reporters were highly credible, and at that time, the White House had just announced that President Nixon would visit China in 1972. The American public has a sense of mystery about China, a large eastern country that they know little about, and Roston's article satisfies the curiosity of a broad audience. Roston wrote in his essay (excerpted) :

It may seem absurd to publish an obituary in memory of a lost appendix, but that is why I have had the opportunity over the past dozen days to get an inside look at the political and business developments at one of China's leading hospitals. This report is a record of my experience and what I saw.

In short, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai asked eleven medical authorities in Beijing to consult me, and then the anti-imperialist Hospital (former Peking Union Medical College Hospital In July, Dr. Wu, the surgeon, used a routine local abdominal anesthetic to inject lidocaine After he and Benzocaine, he performed an appendectomy for me.

There were no complications. There were no complications Nausea and vomiting . I was awake during the whole operation. Through a translator from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I did exactly what Professor Wu asked me to do during the surgery and was back in my room after two and a half hours.

However, the second night after the operation, I had a painful feeling in my abdomen. With my consent, Dr. Li of the hospital's Department of acupuncture and moxibustion inserted three needles with a thin needle into my right outside elbow and under both knees, simultaneously using my hand Twisting the needle To stimulate my gastrointestinal motility to reduce abdominal pressure and flatulence .

The acupuncture caused bouts of pain in my limbs, but at least it distracted me from the feeling of abdominal discomfort. At the same time Dr. Lee placed two herbal moxa rolls, which were burning like cheap cigars, above my stomach fire-cure I twist the needle on my body from time to time.

All this happened in 20 minutes, when I was still trying to treat my abdomen this way flatulence Is it a bit too complicated, but within an hour, my bloating feeling was significantly reduced and has not returned since.

According to my information, many reports from China today about acupuncture curing blindness, paralysis, and mental illness have led to speculation in the United States that the Chinese may have made major new breakthroughs in acupuncture and herbal medicine. But I do not know whether these assumptions are correct, nor am I qualified to make such judgments.

On the other hand, some people say that my accident, or at least my experience with acupuncture, is nothing more than a small trick of journalists to achieve the purpose of understanding acupuncture anesthesia. This is not entirely unreasonable, but it is an overstatement of my imagination, courage, and sacrifice. I'm willing to make a lot of sacrifices to get good news, but it's not like I'm going under the knife in the middle of the night or volunteering to be a Dutch pig.

After reading the original article, I feel that Roston is worthy of being an internationally renowned journalist. The article is not only clear and concise, but also humorous and interesting. More importantly, the author just reported his own experiences and observations truthfully, and did not make any comments on medicine and acupuncture that he was unfamiliar with, but just described the facts, without sensationalizing or making news at all. However, the historical effect of this article on the popularization of acupuncture, I think even the author himself would not have anticipated.

It is said that at the beginning of the acupuncture fever, because China and the United States have not established diplomatic relations, there are few people in the United States who understand acupuncture, so for a time, "Luoyang paper expensive." Every day, buses haul patients from Washington to New York to see acupuncturists, who are so busy that they rent hotels to accommodate patients. The acupuncturist was so busy inserting needles into the patient that he had no time to take them out, so he had to hire an assistant to pull them out. Some acupuncturists are doing so well that they can buy a house with a week's income. Of course, for understandable reasons, this early acupuncture fever did not last long.

Compare the real story with American "folklore," and although the details are different, the story is generally the same. Although the credibility of this folk "oral literature" is not high enough to be used as historical evidence, the rendering of facts in the process of folklore fully reflects the good wishes of the people who spread the story.

As an old Chinese saying goes, "Don't forget the people who dug the well when they ate the water." While remembering that our ancestors invented acupuncture and moxibustion and created the healthy reproduction and prosperity of the Chinese nation, we should also remember the many Chinese and foreign doctors and scientists, social activists and patients who made contributions to the westward expansion of acupuncture and moxibustion. Also don't forget the American journalist Roston and his "Trip to Beijing" published in the New York Times 30 years ago.

Acupuncture can be used not only for people but also for animals.

In order to ensure the delicious beef, the Japanese have innovated to beef cattle daily massage; In order to keep their pet dogs slim, Japanese people will take their pet dogs to the samba dance. Now, the Japanese are doing it again by giving tuna fish acupuncture to make the world's best sushi.

A company based in Osaka, Japan, has applied for a patent for a technique to perform acupuncture on tuna fish, which was demonstrated at the Japan International Seafood Show. The company says the technology is based on the principle that "tuna tastes better when it dies peacefully than when it dies uncomfortably." After the tuna receives a short acupuncture treatment, the blood will become pure and the meat will become more delicious. But they declined to say exactly where the acupuncture was inserted into the tuna's body.

The technology has only been tested on tuna, and the company's next step is to test it The salmon Test.

Chen Shuaifu believes that acupuncture is full of risks, entering the 21st century, with the advantages of acupuncture and moxibustion medical side effects, consumption and other advantages are gradually recognized by people around the world, legislation to confirm and improve the clinical level, to challenge difficult diseases has become a problem that must be solved. In terms of legislation, due to the recognition of various countries and the promotion of the United Nations, many countries have established and improved the legal management, and further standardized the examination and qualification certification of acupuncture practitioners; In research, the use of acupuncture to treat or assist difficult diseases is also gradually emerging, such as small doses of drugs Point injection heal Atrophic gastritis , Fire needle heal Chronic osteomyelitis , tongue acupuncture for cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease Let's wait. It can be seen that acupuncture and moxibustion, a great medical discipline, has greater potential for us to explore!

Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, initially it was only used as a medical means, and later gradually developed into a discipline. The science of acupuncture and moxibustion is the science of collating and studying acupuncture and moxibustion medical technology and its clinical application law and basic theory.

Acupuncture has a long history. Ancient books have repeatedly mentioned that the original tool of acupuncture is a stone needle, called stone needle. This kind of stone needle appeared about 8,000 to 4,000 years ago in the Neolithic Age, which is equivalent to the late stage of the clan commune system. Stone needle objects have been found in archaeology in China. In the Spring and Autumn Period (770 to 476 BC), medicine was freed from the bondage of witchcraft and there were professional doctors. According to... Chunkozo's biography According to the record, when the famous doctor doctor slow for Jin Jinggong's diagnosis, he pointed out that he should "attack not, reach not, medicine is not how, can not be done." The "reaching" and "attacking" mentioned here refer to acupuncture and fire moxibustion.

Acupuncture and moxibustion

From the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty (476 BC to 25 AD), with the advancement of iron-making technology, metal needles were gradually popularized. Metal needle gradually replaced stone needle, thus expanding the practical scope of acupuncture and speeding up the development process of acupuncture. During the Eastern Han Dynasty and The Three Kingdoms period, there were many medical scientists who were good at acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture A and B channels It has become a monograph of acupuncture with a complete system. During the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties (256 to 589 AD), the number of acupuncture monographs increased significantly. During this period, acupuncture spread to Korea, Japan and other countries.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties (581-907 AD), acupuncture and moxibustion developed into a specialized discipline, and the medical education institution at that time, the Imperial Medical Department, had a specialty in acupuncture. Subsequently, acupuncture and moxibustion scholarship continued to develop in depth. Acupuncture was introduced to Europe in the 16th century. However, in the Qing Dynasty, the doctors paid more attention to medicine and less attention to acupuncture, which hindered the development of acupuncture to some extent.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, acupuncture was greatly developed. More than 2,000 TCM hospitals have acupuncture and moxibustion departments. The scientific research of acupuncture and moxibustion has involved various systems of the body and clinical departments. The adjustment effect of acupuncture, analgesic effect, immunity enhancement effect, and Meridian phenomenon , meridian points and Zang-fu correlation A large number of valuable scientific experimental data have been obtained from the study of such problems.

Seemingly safe Traditional Chinese acupuncture Treatment, in fact, there are considerable risks. I met a patient who was sent to the surgery department of Shanghai Eighth People's Hospital by his family, and the doctor was surprised to find that within a week, Acupuncture needle From the left side of the patient's hip, through the pelvis, Coeliac cavity , move to the belly button, Broken needle It's rare to move such a long distance inside the body. Fortunately, the broken needle did not puncture the blood vessels or organs in the body when it moved, otherwise the consequences were unimaginable.

Broken needles or weights Folding needle The pointer body is broken in the human body. The reasons include the poor quality of the needle, the damage and erosion of the needle body or the needle root, the failure to check before entering the needle, the whole needle body into the point when needling, and the needle Brute force Lift and insert Twisting, violent muscle contraction, the patient will change the position when the needle is left, or Bent needle Delayed needle failure to timely and correct treatment.

Visible, to prevent Folding needle Before operation, the needle should be carefully checked, and the needle that does not meet the quality requirements should be removed; Operation should avoid too strong, too strong Running needle ; Patients should be advised not to change their positions at will, such as looking up to answer mobile phones and twisting to talk to others. The operator should be careful not to Pierce the whole needle body into the point when needling, but should leave part of the needle body outside the body to facilitate the needle when the needle root is broken; In the process of needle insertion and needle line, such as finding Bent needle When, the needle should be immediately out, must not be forced into the needle, needle; towards Sticking of needle Etc should also be timely and correct treatment, not forced to pull; If the needle body is broken during a line of needles or after the needle is pulled out, the operator must remain calm and ask the patient not to change the original position. If the stump part of the needle body is exposed outside the body, the needle can be lifted out with fingers or tweezers Broken needle When it goes completely under the skin or deep into the muscle, it should be sent to the emergency room for treatment.

If the patient suddenly appears during acupuncture chest distress Nausea, dizziness, sweating, or even paleness, cold or twitching limbs, fainting, most likely" Fainting during acupuncture treatment ". Fainting during acupuncture treatment It is often caused by mental tension, hunger, fatigue, or excessive stimulation of acupuncture by doctors. Take place Fainting during acupuncture treatment When, the doctor should quickly take out the needle, let the fainter lie flat, and press the corresponding points, soon can relieve symptoms. In severe cases, necessary drugs should be given to rescue.

In short, for people who receive acupuncture treatment for the first time, it is necessary to explain clearly to the patient before acupuncture to eliminate their tension. The patient received acupuncture treatment before the beard Calm the mind and settle the mind First eat something and choose a lying or comfortable position. Doctors should also use moderate stimulation techniques to avoid Fainting during acupuncture treatment The occurrence of. In addition, some acupoints such as wind pool, Shoulder well , Hegu , Zusanli , Weizhong County , Chengshan (in Hebei Province) Three Yin Jiao, Yongquan, etc., the reaction to acupuncture is more sensitive, easy to cause Fainting during acupuncture treatment Doctors should be more careful when inserting these points.
