Acupuncture in TCM clinical treatment of pericardial lesions

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-02-04

The pericardium, deep in the chest, is located outside the heart, like a strong palace city, guarding the safety of the heart. Its veins run through the three focal points and are closely connected with the five internal organs, forming a kind of relationship between the outside and the inside. Therefore, when the disease invades the human body, such as the retrograde of the warm evil, the phlegm and fire are closed, etc., the pericardium will often bear the invasion of the disease on behalf of the heart. Since the pericardium is responsible for the execution of the mind, it is the knowledge of the gods, and it is consistent with the mind in terms of the physiological function of controlling the mental activity. Therefore, when evil qi invades the pericardium, its pathological changes are mainly manifested in the aspect of consciousness. In clinical practice, we often see symptoms of delirium, delirium, and even mania. The treatment of pericardium is basically the same as that of the heart, so it will not be repeated here.

Pericardial lesion meridian syndrome treatment: For the meridians injured by external wind, cold and dampness, the symptoms are diverse. Cardiothoracic pain and traction into the armpit is one of the common symptoms. In addition, patients may also experience symptoms such as upset and armpits. What's more serious is that wind, cold and dampness will affect the circulation of the meridians, resulting in different degrees of discomfort such as pain, numbness, and paralysis in the parts of the meridians. At this time, the palms will also show symptoms of fever. For this kind of lesion, the acupoints should be mainly used in this meridian and acupuncture, and acupuncture and laxative methods or acupuncture should be used together. This method aims to unblock the meridians, warm the meridians and dissipate cold, thereby relieving the patient's pain.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pericardium is one of the important organs of the human body, and it is closely connected to the meridian system. When the pericardium is invaded by external evils, the normal function of the meridians will be affected, leading to a series of symptoms. Therefore, for the treatment of pericardial lesions, it is necessary to start from the perspective of the meridians and achieve the purpose of adjusting the flow of qi and blood through the meridians. In the process, choosing the appropriate acupuncture points is key. This meridian acupoint refers to the acupuncture points related to the pericardial meridians, and by stimulating these acupuncture points, the flow of qi and blood in the pericardial meridians can be adjusted, and symptoms such as pain and numbness can be relieved.
