Acupuncture prevention health history and status quo

        Modern, with the improvement of the material civilization, science and technology and spirit the progress of civilization, has become a prevent disease, improve health, improve work ability, extend the service life of the human subject. It is to the medical science and human life quality bring extremely profound effect. Acupuncture prevention of traditional Chinese medicine health care is to prevent a learn very important part of, summarizes the ancient traditional experience, shows the law of acupuncture and moxibustion prevention health care, to promote the formation of acupuncture and moxibustion prevention study, the content of the modern prevention rich learn, all will be beneficial.

        History review

        The earliest record of acupuncture and moxibustion prevention ancient documents, is the "yellow emperor". It is put forward the thought of acupuncture and disease prevention, "stab at work at its not the living; secondly, the spurs also are not filled......" (the spirit the coffins · inverse "); Acupuncture has also stress the role of physical health: "is it a true god all stab method of law is a fix true decree, also the way of the cure disease, also" (the grain asked · thorn of law "). In some of the text, in this concrete preventive methods, such as five treatment of acute fever, from the disease in delivering, often in the face different parts to expose red, is to "disease though not hair, see the red of the thorn, not by cure disease" (" the meat asked · thorn hot the article "). Another such as to malaria, also points out that should be in delivering before acupuncture. In a way, "classic" laid the foundation of the acupuncture and moxibustion disease prevention health care.

        Han period, ZhangZhongJing to the cure is not ill thought also have played. Although he focuses on drug differentiation, but also involves acupuncture prevention. Synopsis of prescriptions of the first article is the very point out: "if a person can raise, don't make a XieFeng dry mind; moderate main and collateral channels, main and collateral channels, that is not spread setting setting for only sleep heavy lag. Limbs, namely guidance, deep breathing, acupuncture, cream, don't make the nine opening block." (the zang-fu organs and meridians pulse card has disease first ")

        Jin tang, the emphasis on moxibustion. This period acupuncture prevention health care to get bigger development, especially moxibustion widely used to prevent, profound influence on later generations. The focus is to prevent the various urgent heavy disease, content includes the following points.

        A, emphasize the save for a rainy day. One is by similar modern air disinfection method, prevent disease, such as "the · volume 2" mentioned "close to moxibustion bed, each a patient four strong", in case of ZhangLi disease. Although the actual effect how, is yet to be test, but this assumption is quite something. Another kind is to use the law of moxibustion strength resistance, to prevent purpose. Such as Donald sun simiao records: "mortal wu shu swim official, the body often have to be in two of the three sticks, don't make the poor, ZhangLi sores temporary anopheles temperature

        Gas can't also the "(" · roll 29") in the prevention, should adjust measures to local conditions, the · (45 "mentioned HeLuo" between land cold, or disease, the son spasm, the common begat three days, the inverse of the sticks in case. And I know the sticks in cheek. ...... Jiangdong geothermal, without the disease, but if it is preached that have inverse acupuncture concerning the law, not the people's north and south, and according to the party of the use, without much harm." Inverse moxibustion a word means preventive hub for healing, is put forward in the jin dynasty (), the first in the van WangFang ".

        Second, takes a stitch in time saves nine subject that was in preventing at ordinary times outside, also of note in the beginning, before symptoms revealed, the method with acupuncture truncation BingShi, devoted to the burgeoning. Such as "YongJu new-onset of such as micro, people do not think that nasty, the real strange, but with appropriate speed rule, rule not speed, disease into hard to save" (the · roll 23 "). Prevention as early as possible, not only has obvious effect, prognosis also beautiful, "· roll seven" mentioned the wind poison a disease, "to make people sick, can sleep in that early sticks, twenty three, so that more, and no recurrence also". This period, though moxibustion on prevention, but noted that acupuncture, or acupuncture medicine combining. In stroke, for example, the "in both mentioned" but the wind the ears, the ear needle should be before the god's artery and good "the thorn method to prevent; And load of "the disease in Cardiff he is more wind, beginning to minor, and people don't enlightenment, appropriate speed and life, to the renewal of feishu soup sticks" jiu the medicine law of share. In acupuncture on health care, although the jin tang dynasty literature about keeping in good health is more, but the content of the acupuncture is less. The old tang book "once in more than eighty years and willow of steps QingJian, the art of living is to use moxibustion:" I not to have art, but not early in power, gas at sea with anger, ear." The "mentioned GaoHuang acupuncture point can reach health sticks increased longevity effect:" this hub, a sun be the spirit KangCheng yet." The · roll thirty-nine "also introduces three mile point sticks to prevent LaoShiYan," more than thirty mortals, if not, a gas on three mile jiu eyes dark."

        Until the song dynasty to Ming and qing, acupuncture prevention have significant progress on health care.

        A, moxibustion become primary health care law. According to TCM theory, moxibustion have scattered the cognition to the cold, help yuan the work foundation, and moxibustion cheap, moxibustion to operation, simple, this makes the popularization moxibustion, become prolong life economic effective means. The Ming dynasty ", "said:" all throughout the year, each have a strong vitality, not born, all illnesses." In order to verify the actual clinical effect of acupuncture and health care, some physicians also made personal test. Song WangZhiZhong · such as in the "record:" to the old disease, often more fear and shortness of breath, healers who teach jiu qi hai, gas and don't promote, naturally every years old should one, two time sticks." In the operation of the sticks on health care, appear a variety of moxibustion, including simple moxibustion (directly or every thing jiu jiu) have moxibustion (similar to modern article--sticks), etc. Still have a kind of ShuFen hub, the · volume three "load:" the old, old and yan such as the boy was the cover every years old, with a strong so ShuFen umbilical sticks." The strong health care jiu the number, it is generally thought that of age, such as "to 30, but three years a hub below hilum three hundred strong; 50 can two years a hub below hilum three hundred strong, can be a year a hub sixty below hilum three hundred strong" (the · book "). Also have a quarterly sticks, strong number may be less to a strong. Health care of choose den sticks to god, air sea, que close yuan, foot three mile, such as GaoHuang hole is most commonly used.

        Second, the law of preventing more complete acupuncture. WangZhiZhong song dynasty put forward: "jiu the bone, such as 3 miles away, in spring and autumn period, all point to get discouraged, known as often jiu the wind people insurable compliance" (the · volume four "). The "in yuan dynasty, and according to stroke in the setting of dirty and different, were put forward prevention of law:" the brotherhood of all sleep paralysis, or pain, very long is already, the setting of the hou, the disease in the left, then... sticks, disease is right. All right, left heart feel sticks KuiLuan thinking, not satisfying, or brothers paralysis, this, and not the dirty syndrome in the wind and the gas is, but even the seven jiu the acupuncture point (refers to the vertebral, wind, big pool, shoulder well and so on--the author)." To Ming · YangJiZhou, further summarized, he is in "the cure disease always · of first of all that sticks to medicine combining:" but not stroke, a two months ago or three, four months ago, sometimes on foot tibial sour heavy hemp, very long square solution, the will of the stroke, cheap syndrome in three mile, who sticks around three strong, the bone with onion, born after the willow, peach Fried soup injector "; Second, emphasizing prevention jiu time: "spring/summer, autumn, every summer in appropriate moxibustion," often makes a full two sticks to a boil "; Finally also requires attention to diet and life daily life and so on, so as to meet the better prevention purposes, rejects bone char, foot three mile to preent stroke the actual effect, through the modern validation of physicians take the affirmation.

        In this period, the concept of acupuncture and moxibustion prevention health care has been more and more accepted for the subject. The Ming dynasty famous acupuncture home GaoWu said: "without disease and first acupuncture yue inverse, not to meet and the also." (the · volume three ") is very vivid generalizations.

        Modern progress

        Acupuncture health care prevention, in the modern achieved rapid development. Early in the 20 century two, 30 s, Japan took moxibustion as a universal health care is extended. In 1937, New Year's day up from Japan has created a national hub of the three mile foot sports, in order to enhance national constitution. They put the moxibustion called health jiu, will it as a great event in a year to exercise. And the popular "don't and don't jiu the foot three mile travelled" saying. Our country wide develop prevention acupuncture health care, in the 20 century about 50, 60 s. The focus of the early acupuncture against diseases, and with the various acute primarily. Nearly 30 years, acupuncture health care work pay attention increasingly, as well as preventing the contents and gradually transferred to heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc to come up. Need to point out that the 1970 s, along with a western countries worldwide acupuncture upsurge, acupuncture care made remarkable progress. This survey will modern, of points as follows.

        A disease prevention, acupuncture is increasing. According to our rough statistics, for over 50 years came near to publicly literature concerned, acupuncture has related to the prevention of disease inside, outside, and the women, son, five clinical departments, etc. Both the flu, epidemic encephalitis, bacterium dysentery, acute ash pulp inflammation, malaria and so on many kinds of acute, also can prevent or reduce stroke and coronary heart disease, shock, tetanus and other critical of the disease occurs, and the surgical infections, blood transfusion transfusion reactions, stream of comprehensive reaction, postpartum hemorrhage and acute symptoms also have better prevention role. In recent years, acupuncture is also used to prevent cancer chemotherapy appears toxicity. Competitive syndrome, is put forward in recent years of a kind of new diseases, with acupuncture in the prevention, especially for the examination syndrome, have obvious effect.

        Second, acupuncture health project expands unceasingly. Along with the development of modern science and technology, material and spiritual life of increasing quickly, improve health, prolong life has more and more for people yearning. The economy is simple, without any side effects of acupuncture therapy, and received great attention. In ancient times the fitness of the jiu the theory and method, and on the basis of whether in health care on the content of modern or thorn moxibustion itself, had the very big development. Just moxibustion is concerned, not only to prevent some gien, and be used to slow the aging. In China in recent years as not only the traditional medicine every bread sticks, and application of modern meridian jiu therapy apparatus illuminate point health care, to improve the old man immune function. Be worth what carry is, Japan is also very attention to health care physicians sticks, in clinical practice some development, such as advocate: 17, eight years after sticks, in order to prevent a cold and tuberculosis; To 24, five years old three Yin sticks into, and to promote the healthy development of the reproductive system; 30 to 40 years old or so jiu the foot three mile, prevent aging and disease prevention; In age sticks with the wind pool, in order to make teeth solid, eye bright, normal blood pressure checked. In addition, acupuncture stop smoking, lose weight, beauty and eliminate fatigue care projects have emerged in recent years. Especially in our country for drug use not only on sediment, and become a serious problem worldwide, acupuncture rehabilitation caused wide attention. These projects, in ancient times literature has not seen the records, and most of the first in the world is also on the rise in other countries. From since the middle of 1970 s, has generated including TiZhen, earpins, laser needle, HuoZhen, point injection, form the shape of acupoint stimulation technologies and methods, and also found some valid points. The scope of the acupuncture and moxibustion care there is still expanding of power.

        Three, value and effect of validation. Prevention of modern acupuncture health care another important progress to the clinical effect is a lot of contrast observed, in order to confirm its reliability. General method has 3 kinds: one kind is set to compare the control group. This work early in the 20 s and s, has been developing. As at the time with acupuncture flu, is also a different drug prevention group, comparing the results prove more some of western medicine acupuncture preventive effect is a plus. 2 it is through the long-term accumulate a large amount of case to prove the results are. Such as the acupuncture prevent inflammation, watch out of more than seven thousand patients, found that as long as was the response function can prevent the body, can to prevent diseases role. Another such as epidemic encephalitis, a reported six thousand cases were observed more than twenty thousand person of acupuncture effective prevention. 3 it is through a more strict scientific design for observation, such as acupuncture to give up smoking, line single-blind method after treatment, show acupuncture successfully quit smoking, although some psychological factors, and more importantly rely on physiological factors.

        Four, trying to explore the mechanism prevention. In this work, in recent years doing more, also a well. Probably can divide second class, one kind is in order to build more reliable lab index is given priority to. Acupuncture can produce prevent blood coagulation, improve blood viscosity, and to a certain extent the function of human body size expansion blood vessels, can prevent strokes. Another kind is the animal experiments. Acupuncture why can prevent shock? A lot of experimental animals observation shows that acupuncture group than controls must be released more blood, to reach the predetermined low blood pressure level, into shock. At the same time, the bloodletting drop in blood pressure after more than the control group is small; Bloodletting stop, blood pressure picks up quickly. After blood transfusion, animal survival rate is higher. The above is that acupuncture prevention role. And more in-depth research confirmed that the effect of acupuncture and prevent shock, main may be realized through the nervous system.

        Generally speaking, there are preventing acupuncture health care this or that is insufficient, but because the mechanism of the acupuncture and moxibustion lies mainly in the adjustment of the whole human body function, this makes acupuncture in prevention at present serious harm human abilities of recognitions. For signs that acupuncture can improve some cancer patients' immune function, both at home and abroad, some scholars also pay attention to the prevention and treatment of AIDS with acupuncture. In addition, with the elderly population increase, acupuncture health care will also shows its superiority. Recently, foreign and reports of application acupuncture in preventing disease space. These are the development of acupuncture preventive care, and showed the encouraging prospect.
