It is true that acupuncture is relatively simple, quick to act, and has a wide range of treatments, and it is a few silver needles swishing and swishing, with chic movements and ornamentation, which is why many Chinese medicine enthusiasts want to learn acupuncture.
However, for many beginners in TCM and acupuncture, there are also a lot of problems. For example, memorizing obscure and redundant acupuncture points, ** principles, acupoint matching methods, tonifying laxative techniques, and so on.
In the face of these situations, it can be said that interest is the best teacher, and effect is the stepping stone to continue to learn in depth.
Acupuncture is a technique that combines theory and practice. That is to say, it is not enough to have theoretical knowledge alone, but only to know whether the acupuncture points are pierced correctly and whether there is "deqi" after the needle.
For example, the Taiyuan acupoint of the hand Taiyin Lung Sutra. It is only theoretically known that it is on the side of the radial artery on the wrist striated radial, and its acupuncture point nature, the original acupoint, the pulse of the Bahui acupoint, and all kinds of treatments are not enough.
On paper, it is shallow. Only by practicing, how to open the pulse and go down, how deep it is, whether it goes straight down or obliquely, what it feels like to be angry, only by feeling it yourself can you have a deeper understanding.
Today, we summarize some common problems encountered by novice acupuncture friends, so that you can learn better.
1.What should I do if I don't dare to prick myself with needles in acupuncture practice?
In various acupuncture training courses on the market, after the teacher finishes the theory, students will be allowed to practice to find their feelings. Many students are afraid to prick themselves with needles. In this case, it is advisable to purchase a one-and-a-half-inch needle with a needle sleeve.
The reason is that there is a needle sleeve that cannot see the needle, which reduces the psychological burden of the novice, and the needle sleeve is pressed to the acupuncture point together, and then the needle sleeve is withdrawn.
2.Acupuncture point selection for beginners at the beginning of practice?
When novices start practicing, they can choose the meaty five acupoints and the original Luo Xuan acupoints for practice.
First of all, these acupuncture points are not more than the knees, the hands are not more than the elbows, and the needles are quite safe.
Secondly, the five acupoints are divided into five elements, which are good acupuncture points for treating symptoms and replenishing discharge.
Here are a few acupuncture points that are particularly good for acupuncture. The Quchi acupoint of the Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, the Kongzhi Acupoint of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, the Sanyang Luo of the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, the Zu Sanli of the Zu Yang Ming Stomach Meridian, the Yangling Spring of the Zu Shao Yang Gall Meridian, and the Ground Machine of the Zu Taiyin and Spleen Meridians.
3.How to call it angry?
When you feel soreness and numbness by rotating the needle from side to side, or when you feel redness near the pinhole, or when you leave the needle, you feel like the needle is being sucked and there is a tendency to sink. Even if the twisting direction is different, you can clearly feel that the direction of sour numbness along the meridians in the body is different, which is the deqi, which plays the role of acupuncture.
4.How to choose acupuncture points?
Acupuncture has many principles of treatment, which can be taken from a distance and from a distance. There are different principles such as Yuanluo, Huixuan, and Yu Zhao**, as well as the replenishment of the five acupoints. It can be said that it is quite flexible.
Of course, there are also the four total cave songs. The abdomen is three miles away, the waist and back are entrusted, the head is missing, and the face and mouth are closed.
When you think of the problem of the abdomen, you have to think that Zusanli is a master switch, and the diseases of the waist and back have to think of the Weizhong acupoint. This is equivalent to pointing out the location to be attacked after the needle is lowered, just like GPS navigation to the lesion site.
In short, the selection of acupuncture points for treatment is flexible and changeable, and there is no fixed single program. These require everyone to constantly ponder and understand when learning.
5.It is recommended that you prepare a copy of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion".
No matter what teacher you are learning from, offline or online, prepare a copy of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng", and you will learn a lot of knowledge by flipping through it. It summarizes the passages about acupuncture and moxibustion in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Difficult Scripture", as well as how to make up for the acupuncture with acupuncture, and of course, there are also some common diseases of the ** acupuncture method with acupoints. This is the crutch of introductory research.
As the saying goes, the master leads the way, and the cultivation depends on the individual. Seeing more, thinking more and practicing more is the king.
