Simple operation and definite curative effect.
Yang Jinsheng said that cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of more than 4,000 compounds, which consists of volatiles existing in the gas phase and semi-volatiles and non-volatiles existing in particles, of which gases account for 95%, such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, cyanogen hydride and volatile nitrosamines, of which at least 69 are known carcinogens. The number of people who die of tobacco-related diseases in China reaches 1 10,000 every year, which exceeds the sum of AIDS, tuberculosis, traffic accidents and suicide deaths. It is understood that the World Health Organization has listed tobacco dependence as a disease in the international classification of diseases, and confirmed that tobacco is the biggest threat to human health at present, and the harm of smoking is more serious than SARS and tsunami.
"As a green therapy with simple operation, definite curative effect and little side effects, acupuncture and moxibustion for quitting smoking has attracted more and more attention," Yang Jinsheng said. "Modern medicine has proved that the mechanism of acupuncture to quit smoking is to induce a large number of endogenous opioids in the body after acupuncture to make up for the symptoms of opioid deficiency caused by the cessation of nicotine supply, so as to achieve the purpose of quitting smoking."
Use auricular point sticking and pressing.
Acupuncture and moxibustion to quit smoking generally adopts the method of body acupuncture sticking to auricular points, which is treated about 2 ~ 3 times a week. Chinese medicine believes that the ear is not a simple isolated hearing organ. From the holographic phenomenon, the auricle is like an inverted fetus, which is equivalent to a microcosm of the human body. All parts of the body, such as viscera, skin and limbs, are closely related to auricle through meridians. In addition, the nerve distribution in the whole ear is rich, so the whole body function can be adjusted by gently and persistently stimulating some parts of the ear corresponding to the human body.
Generally, the doctor selects the corresponding acupoints of the lung, mouth, stomach and spleen, pastes the Chinese medicine Vaccaria seed, fixes it with adhesive tape, and presses it with food and thumb until it is sore or painful. You can stay in your ear for 5 ~ 7 days in winter and about 3 days in summer. If it falls off, you can go to the hospital for replacement at any time. After pressing the ear points, it can also be combined with body acupuncture to strengthen the curative effect.
