Problem description:
The founder of abdominal acupuncture is Mr. Bo Zhiyun, who mainly treats diseases through abdominal acupoints. Please tell me what happened. If a teacher knows where to sell relevant books, please tell me. thank you !
Analysis:
Capsule, umbilical artery and umbilical vein, etc. With the development of the embryo, it gradually atresia, although after birth it becomes a connective tissue cord. However, it is related to the umbilical ring and has formed an inherent connection form. Therefore, the connection between many acupoints and the zang-fu organs they control sometimes shows a radioactivity connected with the umbilical ring. This may be related to the communication channel between umbilical ring and viscera during embryonic development.
Chapter II Positioning and Acupoint Selection Methods
According to the theory of abdominal acupuncture, there are two whole-body meridian regulation systems in the abdomen with Shenque as the core, and the peripheral regulation system is located in the superficial layer of the anterior abdominal wall, which is a holographic image of the whole body miniature. Positioning acupoint selection is an important acupoint selection method in abdominal acupuncture therapy. Using this characteristic of abdomen, the whole body can be adjusted by abdominal area.
First, the content of positioning acupoint selection method
Modern research shows that there is a law that the part is the epitome of the whole, which can reproduce the image of the whole to some extent. This law is called the biological holographic law.
From the perspective of biological holographic law, all relatively independent parts of an organism are derived from the continuation of the same biological embryo, and the chemical composition pattern is the same as that of the whole, which is a reduction in the proportion of the whole. Therefore, the micro-needle systems such as head, ear, nose, eyes, abdomen, back, hands and feet are the embodiment of biological holographic law. Abdominal acupuncture, as a micro-acupuncture system, also contains the life information of specific areas and acupoints of the whole body, and it is a holographic unit, and its structure is reduced in proportion. At the same time, there is a phenomenon of "holographic feedback", that is, the information of the whole human body also affects the abdomen, which in turn not only reflects the overall situation, but also affects and regulates the whole. In abdominal acupuncture, it is the core content of an important method to adjust the corresponding parts of the human body through the holographic distribution of the abdomen, that is, to select points qualitatively.
Second, the holographic image characteristics of abdomen
After a lot of repeated clinical research, it is found that the abdominal meridian is a multi-level spatial structure, and the holographic image of the human body in the abdomen resembles a turtle floating on the front abdominal wall. Its neck extends from two upper curved points, its head is located above and below Zhongwan point, its tail extends downward from two points near Qihai (5 minutes by Qihai) and finally reaches Guanyuan point. Its forelimbs are respectively led out from the sliding door, bend to the upper wind wet point and stop at the outer rheumatism point (the upper wind wet point is located above the sliding door for 5 minutes, and the upper wind wet point is located one inch outside the sliding door), and its hind limbs are located in the outer mausoleum. This image is distributed in the superficial layer of the abdominal wall in the thick abdominal wall, which constitutes the main part of the peripheral regulation system of the Shenque regulation system, and the abdominal positioning acupoint selection method mainly regulates the corresponding parts of the human body. Therefore, the characteristic of abdominal location acupoint selection method is the biological holographic image of turtle in abdomen.
Third, the characteristics of positioning acupoint selection method
The whole human body is a huge organism, and the holographic image of the abdomen is a miniature of the whole body. Therefore, the whole body is reflected in the abdomen, forming a point-like dense acupoint area. Therefore, whether the acupoints related to limbs can be accurately selected in clinic is the key to clinical efficacy. We must constantly speculate and master the reaction relationship between abdominal acupuncture points and the whole body in clinic, and on this basis, we should gradually become familiar with the changing law and relative individual differences of diseases in order to achieve good clinical results.
According to the holographic distribution characteristics of abdomen, the head diseases were treated by acupoints around Zhongwan and Yindu. Abdominal holographic neck extends from Shangqu point, so neck diseases are treated with Shangqu, Shiguan and nearby points. The forelimbs of the abdominal hologram represent the corresponding upper limbs of human body, so the diseases of the left and right upper limbs are treated from the sliding portal to the ipsilateral acupuncture point between the upper wind dampness point and the upper rheumatism external point, and the hind limbs of the abdominal hologram extend outward from the wailing point to the corresponding lower part of the human lower limbs, so the diseases of the lower limbs are treated from the wailing point to the corresponding acupuncture point between the lower wind dampness point and the lower wind dampness point. Abdominal holography starts from the gas side and ends near Guanyuan point, so lumbar diseases are treated near Guanyuan point.
Chapter III Clinical Application of Abdominal Acupuncture
Abdominal acupuncture therapy is a new method to treat systemic diseases by needling abdomen to regulate viscera and meridians according to the principles, methods, prescriptions and acupoints of traditional Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, as long as the clinical symptoms are changed and the therapy is applied according to the principle, the indications are wide and the curative effect is good. Therefore, it better embodies the basic characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, "holistic thinking and dialectical treatment." This chapter analyzes abdominal acupuncture from three aspects: indications, contraindications, acupuncture techniques and commonly used prescriptions, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of the rules of abdominal acupuncture.
Section 1 Indications and Contraindications of Abdominal Acupuncture
Abdominal acupoints are used to treat visceral diseases such as digestive system and urinary system, and the effect is good. These traditional treatment methods and predecessors have accumulated rich experience. So we don't discuss the indications and contraindications of abdominal acupuncture. We only focus on systemic diseases.
Indications of abdominal acupuncture
Because abdominal acupuncture is a method to treat systemic diseases by adjusting the function of viscera. Therefore, the purpose of abdominal acupuncture therapy is to mobilize and adjust the function of human viscera, so that its operation is gradually orderly. So it depends largely on the human body itself. Generally speaking, the indications of abdominal acupuncture are endogenous diseases, that is, internal injuries or chronic diseases, as well as intractable diseases and chronic diseases. Clinically, it can be roughly divided into: (65,438+0) systemic diseases with long course of internal injuries to viscera, such as sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, senile dementia, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, hysteria, etc. (2) Diseases caused by viscera imbalance, such as thrombotic deafness, fundus hemorrhage, retrobulbar optic neuritis, optic atrophy, etc. (3) Although the course of the disease is short, it is related to the deficiency of vital qi in zang-fu organs, such as scapulohumeral periarthritis, sciatica, arthritis, cervical spondylosis, low back pain, leg numbness, acid difficulty, etc. (4) Other acupuncture indications and those with poor curative effect after treatment can all be used as abdominal acupuncture indications.
Second, the contraindications of abdominal acupuncture
The * * * part of abdominal acupuncture is the abdomen. Therefore, all unexplained acute abdomen is contraindication to avoid misdiagnosis due to acupuncture. In addition, acute peritonitis, umbilical varicose veins caused by hepatosplenomegaly, intra-abdominal tumors and extensive metastasis, and female pregnancy are all contraindications. Patients who are weak due to long-term chronic diseases should also be treated with caution during surgery. Such as hepatosplenomegaly, it is necessary to pay attention to acupuncture in both ribs too deeply to avoid damaging substantive organs.
Acupuncture manipulation of abdominal acupuncture in the second quarter
Before abdominal acupuncture, we should first check the size and tenderness of the liver and spleen. Then press the part to be treated from top to bottom, carefully screen the muscle tension, tenderness, lump and accumulation of each part to find out whether the above symptoms are related to the disease to be treated before treatment. Sometimes some abdominal reactions can not only help to clearly diagnose and adjust acupuncture prescriptions, but also provide valuable diagnostic information for some neglected diseases, thus making the diagnosis and treatment of diseases reach a higher level.
When doing abdominal acupuncture, we should choose the length and depth of the needle and the method of reinforcing and reducing according to the patient's fatness, length of the course, depth of the disease and deficiency of the disease.
First, the choice of needle.
In order to avoid the occurrence of acupuncture accidents and control the depth of needle insertion, abdominal acupuncture treatment usually uses a needle with a uniform length for each patient. Generally speaking, people who are tall or short have a thick abdominal fat layer, and the needles are too short to reach the depth of treatment sometimes. Needles with a length of 60 mm are usually used for treatment. However, people with moderate obesity and normal body shape have moderate abdominal fat layer, and generally use 50 mm long needles for treatment. People with thin bodies have thin abdominal wall fat and are more likely to puncture the abdominal wall layer. Generally speaking, shorter-shorter needles, such as 40 mm long, are used for treatment. In this way, not only can the needle be handy during the operation, but also the pain of the patient can be alleviated, and the depth of needle insertion can be well controlled.
Second, the depth of the needle.
The abdominal wall layer is thick, which not only causes less pain during acupuncture, but also facilitates operation. Because the layered local anatomical structure of abdominal wall is different, the affected peripheral systems are obviously different, and often the same group of acupoints can treat many diseases according to the depth of needle insertion. Therefore, the depth of abdominal acupuncture is divided into three parts: heaven, earth and man. Generally, diseases with short course of disease or pathogenic factors in the exterior. Acupuncture in the sky (shallow acupuncture); Although the course of the disease is long, it is not as bad as the disease of viscera or its evil is boils. Acupuncture the human body (i.e. the middle needle); A disease with a long course of disease involving zang-fu organs or pathogenic factors in them requires local needling (deep needling). But there are exceptions in application, such as low back pain. Although the course of disease is short, ground acupuncture is more likely to receive immediate results. Therefore, it should be mastered flexibly in clinical application.
Third, the technique of acupuncture.
When inserting the needle into the abdomen, you should avoid pores and blood vessels first, and then operate gently and slowly. If the needle tip reaches a predetermined depth, generally, it is only screwed or slightly screwed and slowly inserted, so that the omentum in the abdominal cavity has enough time to free and avoid the needle body, so as not to stab the internal organs. Three methods are generally used in the operation, namely, waiting for qi, activating qi and urging qi. After the needle is inserted, staying for 3-5 minutes is called waiting for gas, and after 3-5 minutes, twisting makes the needle feel local, which is called moving gas; Needle 1 time every 5 minutes to strengthen the needle feeling and make it spread around or far away, which is called urging gas; Leave the needle for 30 minutes and start the injection.
The reinforcing and reducing methods of abdominal acupuncture depend on the strength of * * *, with weak * * * as reinforcing and strong * * * as reducing. Because the indications of abdominal acupuncture are mostly chronic diseases, and chronic diseases are debilitating for a long time, abdominal acupuncture can supplement more and reduce diarrhea. In addition to manipulation, moxibustion is also often used to supplement the law. During moxibustion, the acupoints can be warmed from top to bottom, or a moxibustion rack can be placed at Shenque point to strengthen Yuanyang and warm meridians, so as to improve the curative effect of abdominal acupuncture.
Four, commonly used acupuncture methods
When abdominal acupuncture is used, the symptoms of diseases can often be quickly relieved after acupuncture. When the relief of symptoms is clearly related to a certain main point, different acupuncture methods such as triangle acupuncture, three-star acupuncture and plum-blossom acupuncture can be expanded on the basis of this point to strengthen the therapeutic effect of the main point, which can not only greatly increase abdominal acupuncture points, but also make them easy to remember, thus achieving better clinical effects.
(1) Trigonometric needle Trigonometric needle is a needle method that takes the main point as the vertex, the distance up or down is 3-5 points, and then two needles are respectively pricked, so that the three needles form an isosceles or equilateral triangle. This acupuncture method is suitable for diseases with limited symptoms. Such as knee joint pain and local joint pain. The distance between needles depends on the size of the affected part.
(2) Three-star method Three-star method is a parallel needling method based on the main point, which is arranged radially up and down or left and right or with Shenque, and each point is 3-5 minutes away from the main point, respectively, 1 needle. This acupuncture method is suitable for diseases with banded or striped symptoms. Like sciatica. The distance between needles depends on the length of the affected part.
(3) Plum blossom needle Plum blossom needle is a needle method that takes the main point as the center, with an interval of 3-5 minutes from top to bottom, left and right, and uses ***5 needles to make the needle body form a plum blossom pattern. This acupuncture method is suitable for patients with serious illness and long course of disease, and can also be used when the three-star method is not effective to increase the treatment intensity.
To sum up, it can be seen that the application of acupuncture is mainly based on points that can improve clinical symptoms. Therefore, whether the selection of relatively specific acupoints in the prescription directly affects the curative effect depends on the size of the disease site. The degree of the disease and the length of the course. At the same time, acupuncture methods can also be flexible and diverse. For example, if you add a needle, you can get a good clinical effect without needling again. If you are not satisfied with the triangular needle, you can take another needle to see the effect. In a word, we can't make up the quantity by grades, we can't leave the army without success, and we should master it properly according to the needs of clinical treatment.
Chapter IV Common Prescriptions for Abdominal Acupuncture
Prescription is a combination of drugs or acupoints, which is relatively targeted. Each disease has roughly the same prescription to adapt to the relative individual differences in clinical practice. In the long-term practice, a variety of commonly used prescriptions with wide indications for abdominal acupuncture have been summarized, which provides great convenience for acupoint selection and syndrome differentiation in clinical treatment. Although the application of these prescriptions has certain rules, they can be added and subtracted flexibly in clinic, making them closer to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. This section introduces several commonly used prescriptions as follows:
First, the composition and indications of heaven and earth needles
Tiandi acupuncture is a group of commonly used prescriptions for abdominal acupuncture, which is composed of Zhongwan and Guanyuan. Abdominal acupuncture takes Shenque as the center, Zhongwan as the sky and Guanyuan as the ground. Zhongyu is the point of the stomach, and the spleen and stomach are both exterior and interior, so it is called the sea of water valley. Guanyuan, also known as dantian, is the sliding door point of the small intestine, which has the functions of tonifying kidney, consolidating the constitution, benefiting qi and restoring yang, so the combination of the two points has the functions of invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney.
Second, the composition and indications of bleed air reflux
The bleeding is composed of four acupoints: Zhongwan, Xiawan, Qihai and Guanyuan. The epigastric pain middle cavity and epigastric pain lower cavity belong to epigastric pain, and the two points have the functions of regulating middle energizer and ascending and descending; Moreover, the lung meridian of Taiyin hand starts from the middle energizer, so it has the function of controlling lung qi and descending adverse qi. Qi-hai is Qi-hai, and Guan Yuanpei strengthens the kidney. Kidney also governs innate vitality, so the four points contain? Quot Nature breeds in the future, hence the name "Take time to return to Yuan". "Four Difficult Classics" says: "Breathe the heart and lungs, and suck the kidney and liver". Therefore, this prescription has the functions of treating heart and lung, regulating spleen and stomach and nourishing liver and kidney.
Three. Composition and indications of four points: abdomen, spleen regulating and rheumatism.
The four abdominal passes are composed of four acupoints: sliding door and wailing. The sarcophagus gate is located above the Shenque, treating diseases of the upper trunk and upper limbs, and the outer mausoleum is located below the Shenque, treating diseases of the lower abdomen and lower limbs. These four acupoints have the functions of regulating qi and blood, unblocking the qi of meridians, and transferring it from upper limbs to lower limbs. They are wonderful acupoints that guide the qi of zang-fu organs to spread to the whole body, so they are called "four abdominal passes". Clinically used to treat systemic diseases. It has the effect of dredging fu-organs when combined with air-entraining Guiyuan or Tiandi acupuncture. Regulating spleen qi consists of two horizontal points, left and right. Daheng is the meridian point of the spleen meridian of the foot Taiyin. According to the literature, it is mainly used to treat strong wind against qi, limbs not lifting, excessive cold and compassion. However, in recent years, there are few reports on the clinical application of Daheng point except for deworming. According to the author's many years' experience, Daheng has the functions of regulating spleen, eliminating dampness, strengthening spleen and benefiting joints, so it is often used in combination with abdominal four points to treat waist diseases and sciatica, and in combination with rheumatism points to treat systemic arthritis or scapulohumeral periarthritis. Fengshi point is the author's experience point, and Shangfengshi point is located at the outer 5 points and the upper 5 points of Slippery Door Point. Downwind dampness point is located in the outer 5 points and the lower 5 points of Aihao point. Fengshi point has the function of detumescence and pain relief. Together with Daheng, it can dispel wind and dredge joints, reduce swelling and remove blood stasis. Only rheumatism points can be used to treat shoulder and elbow diseases, and rheumatism points can only be used to treat lower limb diseases.
Chapter V Abdominal Acupuncture Treatment of Common Diseases
Traditional Chinese medicine has two basic characteristics: holistic consciousness and syndrome differentiation. Therefore, it is necessary to have a more detailed understanding of the overall situation of patients in clinic. The patients who may come to see a doctor are not only sick, but also the patients' description of symptoms is only superficial. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive understanding and examination of patients' conditions. Only under the premise of clear diagnosis can we determine the treatment order of several diseases or symptoms of a disease and produce dialectical treatment methods. Therefore, abdominal acupuncture put forward the idea of "starting with diagnosis, then seeing whether the syndrome differentiation is correct, then doing exercises should not be dry, and then adding and subtracting according to the situation". It is emphasized that syndrome differentiation and treatment must be based on diagnosis. The diagnosis mentioned here includes two aspects, one is the diagnosis of diseases by western medicine, and the other is the further differentiation of diagnosis by Chinese medicine, that is, the so-called differentiation of diseases first and then differentiation of symptoms.
As the ancients said, "one needle, two moxibustion and three medicines", it can be seen that acupuncture is the fastest treatment and should be the first choice for treatment. There are various methods of acupuncture and moxibustion in clinic, and there are also various types of needles, and any acupuncture and moxibustion method has its own uniqueness, which may have unique curative effects on some diseases. However, any acupuncture method may have relative indications. Therefore, only by mastering various therapies can the best treatment be adopted according to the different needs or stages of the disease. The author believes that this is the scientific attitude towards acupuncture, and only in this way can the development of acupuncture be brought into a healthy track.
Abdominal acupuncture is an ideal method to treat chronic diseases. In addition to screening indications, there are some other issues that need attention. After the diagnosis is clear, it is very important to choose the appropriate prescription. The prescription of each disease is just a combination of acupoints with * * * characteristics repeatedly purified from clinical application. As long as it is symptomatic, it should be effective in theory, but it must be based on the specific symptoms of patients to achieve better results.
After determining the correct prescription, whether the acupoints can be accurately located is another factor that affects the curative effect. The relative specificity of acupoints is related to their positions. For example, when we say that Zusanli can affect gastric peristalsis. It is said that the location of Zusanli is a known anchor point rather than an arbitrary point. It is hard to say whether it has any effect on gastric peristalsis if the standard acupoint selection method cannot be followed or the acupoint selection is far from the positioning. After more than 20 years of research, it is found that the location of abdominal acupoints must be accurate, often "a thousand miles away", so it is necessary to measure them repeatedly when selecting acupoints.
