Arthritis is a general term for joint diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, frozen shoulder, etc. It often manifests itself as joint pain, walking difficulties, joint swelling, etc., and in severe cases, the joints are stiff and inactive, which causes great pain to the patients.
Arthritis belongs to the paralysis
Dr. Wu Spring Festival, deputy director of the Chinese Medicine Specialty Department of the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told the reporter that arthritis in traditional Chinese medicine is categorized as a "paralysis" range.
"Paralysis" sounds the same as "closed", there is the meaning of obstruction, "not through the pain", so there will be joint pain, stiffness, numbness and other symptoms. From the external causes, arthritis is subject to wind, cold, dampness evil invasion of the body, along the meridians, residing in the joints, resulting in paralysis of qi and blood blockage and the onset of disease. That is, people often say: by the cool wind blowing; by the cold water freezing; after sweating do not keep warm in time; living in the place of damp and dark, etc., these are easy to lead to arthritis.
Acupuncture is about winning with skill
Western medicine is about using medicine "to win with force", the medicine is stronger than the germs; acupuncture is about using the art, "to break the jack with skill". Therefore, the acupuncturist lightly tied a few seemingly and lesions related or irrelevant points, the patient's disease is good.
The same is true for treating arthritis. Acupuncturist treatment, according to the patient's different types of "paralysis", selecting different points. For example, the treatment of knee pain paralysis, the patient's knee pain is severe, you can choose the knee calf's nose, cranium, but also can choose kidney Yu, Guanyuan and other supporting points. Calf nose, Crane's Nose is a localized point, and Kidney Yu, Guanyuan is not in the joint area, which is called distal point in Chinese medicine. Among them, Guanyuan point, in the location of the dantian under the umbilicus, Chinese medicine believes that it is the place where the body's true qi, yuan qi occurs, the essence of the meridians. It may seem to have nothing to do with knee arthritis, but needling this point can invigorate the yang qi, so as to get rid of the cold evil, strong body, and cure arthritis from the root.
