  3. The best is moxibustion and second is needles, and then is herbs –Huang Di Nei Jing(Yellow emperor’s inner classic ) Rachitis/arthritis 灸 (jiu) 艾叶 (ai ye) (FOLIUM ARTEMISIAE ARGYI)

  4. Scratching(刮痧, Gua sha) and Cupping(拔罐, Ba Guan)

  5. Fire Wood Earth Water Metal 2. Basic theory of TCM Balance and harmony Chinese perspective Inside,outside,all around “Health is a state of optimal physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, 26th Ed. Relationship of Five elements promoting/generating and constrain/inhibiting mutually

  6. Viscera/organs theory(脏象, Zang xiang, 脏-inward property,象-outward presentation) Concept of “organ” is not confined to its anatomical structure,but more to do with all the functions ascribed to that organ byTCM Zang-viscera Fu-viscera (holid,Yin) (hollow,Yang) Lung Large intestine Heart Small intestine Liver Gallbladder Kidney Bladder Spleen Stomach Pericardium Triple warmer

  7. 3.Meridians and collaterals (经络, jing luo) Foot yang- ming meridian of stomach Flow chart of the twelve normal medians

  8. 4.How Does Acupuncture Work? TCM Concept: Where there is pain, there has no free flow of Qi and When there is free flow if QI, there has no pain/heath Acupoints, the places for Qi moving in, gathering, communicating and going out, reflect the illness and accept the stimulus Diagnoses, treats & prevents illness holistically, through the stimulation, support and maintenance of the body's innate healing systems

  9. Western Concept A. Gate control Theory: AP stimulates the inhibitory nerve fibers and block the transduction of pain signals B Humeral Mechanisms Interaction of AP point with Spinal Cord, Brainstem and Higher Centers Mediated through neurochemical and neuroendocrine interactions, such as endorphins, substance P, cortisol, etc

  10. AP stimulation converges with visceral efferent resulting in reflexive interactions with internal organs (along internal connecting meridians) Regionally located Referred pain regions C.Somatovisceral Reflex: Autonomic Effects Western Concept D.Trigger Points: Trigger points are areas of muscles that are irritated and in spasm Many Acupoints lie on or very close to trigger points

  11. 5.Key for selecting acupoints and manipulating needles Manipulating needles De qi,arrival of qi,needling sensation, Arrival of qi at the affected area Principles for Selecting acupoint depend on routine TCM diagnoses, as well as meridianal travelling. Meridians flowing through the area have healing effects on the area A.Uniform manipulation B.Reinforcing manipulation C.Reducing manipulation Methods: local and distant Along the meridian Based on symptoms…..

The idea of all micro-systems acupuncture is that there is a map of the entire body on small, selected areas of the body, and, by stimulating these points, one can promote healing and pain relief in the corresponding body parts Eg :Scalp, hand, Ear , Foot , Nose , Tongue, Face, abdominal Acupuncture 6.Micro-system Acupuncture
