Arrival of qi is important in acupuncture treatment: In the process of acupuncture, no matter what manipulation it is, the arrival of qi must be achieved. In the first chapter of Miraculous Pivot (Canon of acupuncture), it is described that "acupuncture therapy does not take effect until the arrival of qi. "In Ode of Golden Needle it is said: "Quick arrival of qi suggests good effects in treatment; slow arrival of qi shows retarded effects in treatment." It indicates that the arrival of qi is especially important in acupuncture treatment.
The functions of acupuncture
- Regulation of Yin and Yang : Traditional Chinese Medicine believes the root cause of disease is imbalance between yin and yang. So the sole purpose for treating disease is to readjust yin and yang and restore the normal balance between yin and yang. Since the main manifestations of imbalance between yin and yang are relative predominations of yin and yang and relative decline of yin and yang, the purpose of regulating yin and yang is to reduce the excess and supplement deficiency. For example, toothache caused by stomach yang heat, the treatment should be clear the stomach heat and reduce yang. Insomnia caused by heart yang excess and kidney yin deficiency, the reduce heart yang and reinforce kidney yin should be used.
- Dredge the meridians and their collaterals : Many kinds of disease and pain syndrome are caused by obstruction of meridians and their collaterals, when pathogenic factors be clear away, the energy and blood circulation is normal, the disease is cured and pain is disappeared.
- Strengthening healthy qi and eliminating pathogenic factors : The duration of a disease is a process of struggle between healthy qi and pathogenic factors, the result of which decides the development of the disease. If healthy qi succeeds, the disease gets improved and gradually heals; if pathogenic factors succeed, the disease becomes worsened or leads to death. In order to enable the disease to develop along a favorable route, it is necessary to support healthy qi and eliminating pathogenic factors. Strengthening healthy qi usually refers to "nourishing therapy" which includes various methods, such as herbs, acupuncture and moxibustion, etc. Nourishing therapy is usually used to treat deficiency syndromes such as qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency, body fluid deficiency and kidney essence deficiency. By means of strengthening healthy qi, deficiency can be improved, body resistance can be reinforced and pathogenic factors can be eliminated. Eliminating pathogenic factors refers to "purgation therapy" with herbs or acupuncture and moxibustion. Purgation therapy is used to treat excess syndromes such as attack of exogenous pathogenic factors, retention of food, internal retention of water, internal accumulation of phlegm dampness, internal blockage of blood stasis, stagnancy of qi activity, exuberance of fire and stagnation of pathogenic cold, etc. Eliminating pathogenic factors is helpful for restoring and strengthening healthy qi. Strengthening healthy qi and eliminating pathogenic factors is an important therapeutic principle in clinic treatment, some immune disorder diseases can be treated by this method, such as cancer, allergy, lupus, hepatitis, etc.
