The history of the long history of preventing acupuncture health care

Preventing disease, improve health is one of the important thought content of traditional Chinese medicine. Eight of the seventh century BC to the I ching was mentioned "a gentleman to think with the prevention and made the", this is the "prevent" two words to appear first in ancient books. Since then, in the western han dynasty "huai south son" was more explicitly pointed out that, "the great healer, often put to painless disease of, so there's no sickness". Show that the ancients is known to prevent disease is good lucks, a health care one of the main means. Modern, with the improvement of material civilization, science and technology and social thought progress, preventive medicine has already developed into an prevent disease, to improve health, improve work ability, prolong the service life of the human subject. It is to the medical science and human life quality bring extremely profound effect. Traditional Chinese medicine the precautionary health care of thought and accumulated rich experience, and not only by the great attention to prevent workers at home and abroad, and are constantly making progress.

Acupuncture prevention of traditional Chinese medicine health care is to prevent learn a very important part in our country, has more than two thousand years history. Especially from the mid-twentieth century on, the acupuncture workers in China more extensively in all branches of the acupuncture prevention. And in the past 30 years, the application for health care, may say is acupuncture has spread around the world. Summarize the experience, physicians and health care law of preventing reveals acupuncture, to promote the formation of acupuncture prevention study, rich, the contents of the modern prevention study, will benefit the whole mankind merits the limit.

Ancient situation

The earliest record of ancient documents, acupuncture prevention is the "yellow emperor". It is put forward the thought of acupuncture to prevent "stab at work at the the living and not; secondly, the spurs did not put the...... so yue: at work at the cure is not ill, has died of illness, this is called". (the coffins, the article "the inverse). Mean, who always has not occurred in disease healing, or in the pathogenesis of before the early acupuncture, so to prevent disease healing the degree of attention than cure diseases; Also emphasizes the role of acupuncture have physical health: "is it a true god all stab method of the decree, also the way of law is a fix true, not cure disease". (the element, the theory of law asked thorn). In some chapters, load of concrete preventive methods, such as the treatment of acute fever, the five zang-organs in delivering, often in the face different parts of red, is required to show "ill though not hair, see the red of the thorn, yue cure is not ill." (the meat asked • stab the article "hot). Another such as to malaria, also points out that should be in before delivering acupuncture. So, in a way, "classic" laid the acupuncture to prevent the theoretical basis of health care.

The eastern han dynasty period, ZhangZhongJing inherited "classic" governance is not ill thought. Although he focuses on drugs, but also involves differentiation to acupuncture prevention. Synopsis of prescriptions of the first article is the very point out: "if a man can raise, not to do mind; moderate blizzards meridian meridians, not spread viscera, namely healing to sleep. Limbs heavy lag, namely the guidance, deep breathing, acupuncture, cream, don't make the nine opening." shut (the zang-fu organs and meridians pulse card has disease first "). Emphasize usually pay attention to the health care, once the disease prevention evil invade should also be in early prevention and treatment.

Jin tang of lay particular stress on, moxibustion. This period to get bigger health care to prevent the acupuncture, especially of moxibustion is widely used to prevent, profound influence on later generations. The focus is to prevent the disease, various urgent heavy include the following:

A, emphasize the save for a rainy day. One is by similar modern air disinfection law, prevent disease, such as the backup nasty party • roll was two "mentioned in" secret moxibustion patients, a strong each corners of the bed, in case of ZhangLi "disease. Although the actual effect, how is yet to be test, but this assumption is very valuable. Another kind is to use the method of moxibustion strength resistance, to prevent purpose. Such as tang, sun simiao records: "mortal wu shu swim official, the body often have to be in two of the three sticks, don't make boils, the ZhangLi temperature transient difference engineer poison gas on one can't". (the daughter party • roll 29 "). In the prevention, when the physicians also noticed that should adjust measures to local conditions, the cause of the syndrome, 45, added: "" roll HeLuo land between cold, son, the common spasm or disease, like three days begat sticks. And in case of inverse sticks buccal in case.... keep temperature, without this entity river, is linked with a inverse acupuncture concerning the law, not the present north and south, and according to the party's use, without harm". "Inverse" acupuncture is a term to acupuncture point, and the preventive in jin dynasty, the first proposed in van WangFang ".

Second, takes a stitch in time saves nine. Early positive, is also one of the treatment to prevent content. At the time that physicians in addition to preventing at ordinary times outside, also note that in the beginning of the show, wait before of the law of BingShi cut with acupuncture, destroyed 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 difficult save" (the JinYiFang • roll "). 23 As soon as possible, not only to prevent the obvious effect, prognosis also beautiful, the daughter YaoFang for urgent, volume of seven mentioned a disease, "the poison to make people sick, not sleep in that early sticks three, 20, so that more, and no recurrence also". It should be noted that this period, though moxibustion on prevention, but noted that acupuncture, or the combination of acupuncture. In stroke, for example, the daughter of YaoFang for urgent already mentioned "but the wind the ear, the needle ear should be before the god's artery and good" the thorn method to prevent; And "man in the rush of disease is the wind, he more early, slightly not enlightened, appropriate speed and life, in accordance with the soup for the" jiu jiu developments to share the method of medicine. In health care, although acupuncture 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 the more than eighty years and degrees, the health QingJian walking the technique is also use wen jiu qi hai acupuncture point method:" my first not to have art, but not to the vitality with anger, air sea normal temperature ear ". The rush for YaoFang daughter of GaoHuang acupuncture point can achieve sticks mentioned health care increased longevity effect: "the jiu, a sun be the spirit KangCheng ever". The secret to the machine, rolls are introduced in the thirty-ninth "sticks to prevent LaoShiYan," three mile point more than 30, if not mortal sticks, a gas three mile eyes dark and delay aging."

After the song dynasty, acupuncture health care in acupuncture care prevention special significant progress, and its characteristics are as follows:

A, moxibustion become primary health care law. According to TCM theory, moxibustion have onyang up, cold help yuan the work together with illegally sticks cream, moxibustion price comes easy to operate etc, this makes the popularization moxibustion, become prolong life economic effective means. Ming, li 梴 in the medical introduction "in which mentioned:" all the four seasons, have a strong vitality, basic not born ", so "prolong your life". In order to verify the actual clinical effect of acupuncture health care, some physicians also made personal test. In the song dynasty, such as WangZhiZhong acupuncture endowment was born the "in the record:" an instinct to the vitality with both not anger, if can sticks to the sea when gas temperature, also next to an old sick. Also, often fear and shortness of breath, healers who teach jiu qi hai, gas and don't promote, naturally every years old should one, two time jiu ". Another such as DouCai, since the 50 years after "often sticks close yuan five hundred strong", "then it healthy old age" (the heart's book • volumes "). In the operation of the sticks on health care, appear DuoZhong moxibustion, including simple moxibustion (directly or every thing jiu jiu), and moxibustion (similar to modern ai sticks, etc.) article Still have a kind of ShuFen jiu, the capital, roll the acupuncture born three ":" the old, old and yan such as the boy was the cover every years old, with a strong ShuFen obtained the sticks." Health care and the strong sticks, it is generally thought that number of age, such as "to 30. But three years a jiu below hilum three hundred strong; 50 can two years a jiu below hilum three hundred strong, can be a year a jiu sixty below hilum three hundred strong" (the new book, "on the roll's). Also as has been said, the sticks, strong quarterly a number is less to a strong. Care of the den, choose sticks to god, sea, and air que close yuan, sp9, such as GaoHuang hole is most commonly used.

Second, the method of preventing acupuncture is complete. Still with stroke prevention, for example, with the ancient physicians for stroke disease causes and mechanism of knowledge deepens, prevention of law also improved. WangZhiZhong song dynasty put forward: "absolutely bone, 3 miles and dividing point, every spring and autumn period, often in sticks to get discouraged, known as the wind people insurable" (the maximum capital, roll the acupuncture born four "). The "health", and bronze treasure in dirty and rectally in according to the different respectively of syndrome, puts forward the prevention of law: "all the brotherhood sleep paralysis, or pain, very long is already, the region 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, the wait, don't ask is the dirty air and gas, but even the seven acupuncture point (sticks to the vertebral, wind, big pool, shoulder well and so on--the authors)". To the YangJiZhou, further summarized in the acupuncture dacheng, he always to disease, "first of all that sticks to medicine combining:" but not stroke, a two months ago or three, four months ago, sometimes on his foot tibial heavy hemp, very long hair, the square solution will wait, cheap urgent of stroke sticks, unique bone around three mile after the three strong, with onion, mint, born peach willow leaf Fried soup leaching "; Second, emphasizing prevention jiu the opportunity; "Spring, summer hand in hand in summer autumn, all appropriate jiu," "often makes a full two sticks to a boil"; The final calls attention to diet and daily living, etc, so as to meet the better prevention purposes, otherwise, "but people don't believe this method, diet is not quarter, wine, he suddenly stroke" excessive. Jiu the unique bone, sp9 prevent stroke the practical effect, through the modern validation of physicians take the affirmation.

In this period, the concept of preventing acupuncture health care has been more and more accepted for physicians. The Ming dynasty famous acupuncture GaoWu home, says: "no disease and first acupuncture yue inverse, not to meet and the" (the acupuncture also together, the three volumes of), is very vivid generalizations.

Modern progress

Acupuncture, in the modern health care prevention has made rapid development. Early in the s and s, Japan took moxibustion as a universal health care measures to promote. In 1937, New Year's day from Japan has since raised a hub of the sp9 campaign to enhance national constitution. They put the moxibustion called keeping in good health, will it sticks as a great event of the year to exercise. And the popular "don't and don't jiu sp9 people travelled" this kind of saying. Our country widely developing acupuncture to prevent health care, in the 20 century about 50, 60 s. The focus of the early acupuncture to prevent, and with the various acute infectious diseases primarily. Nearly 30 years, the health care work increasingly attention acupuncture, as well as preventing content also gradually transferred to the heart, cerebrovascular disease, chronic non-communicable diseases up. Need to point out that, along with the 70 s, Europe and the United States and other western countries, acupuncture, acupuncture health care a boom has achieved remarkable progress of worldwide. This general situation of the modern, points as follows.

To prevent disease-acupuncture is increasing. According to us statistics, near DuoNian roughly 50 to publicly literature in the prevention of disease, acupuncture has related to inside, outside, women, son, five clinical departments, etc. Both the flu, epidemic encephalitis, bacterium dysentery, acute ash pulp, malaria infection DuoZhong acute infectious diseases, also can be in the certain degree to prevent or minimize stroke and coronary heart disease, shock, tetanus and other critical of the disease occurs, and the surgical infection, blood transfusion transfusion reactions, stream of comprehensive reaction, such as postpartum hemorrhage acute symptoms also have better prevention role. In recent years, acupuncture was against cancer chemotherapy with what happen toxicity. Competitive syndrome, is put forward in recent years of a new disease, with acupuncture, especially in the prevention of the examination room syndrome, have obvious effect. Recently, when atypical infectious disease outbreak, after new suddenly acupuncture also become important preventive measure.

Second, acupuncture health project expands unceasingly. With modern scientific technology, material and spiritual life of increasing quickly, improve health, prolong life has increasingly been yearning. The economy is simple, without any side effects of acupuncture therapy, and received great attention. In ancient times the fitness of sticks on the basis of modern methods, whether in health care content or thorn moxibustion itself, had the very big development. Just moxibustion is concerned, not only to prevent some this elderly patient, and be used to anti-aging. In recent years, such as mainland useful sticks therapy apparatus illuminate meridian health point, 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, has the development, advocate: 17, eight years old, in order to prevent a cold air inlet sticks and tuberculosis; To 24, five years old three Yin to hand in, dividing the reproductive system health and development; 30 to 40 years or so, prevent sp9 jiu the aging and disease prevention; In age QuChi sticks and, in order to make teeth solid, eye bright, blood pressure normal eye, etc. Health care, which is to create a good physical and mental conditions of human, improve the quality of human life. Is based on this, the 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 chocolates.you never know, and become a serious world problem drug caused wide attention acupuncture, these projects, in ancient documents did not see records, and most are first in the other countries carried out. From since the middle of 1970 s, has generated including TiZhen, earpins, laser needle, fire, point injection forms, the method of, and also found some valid points. The scope of the acupuncture health care is still have the potential to expand.

Three, value the effect validation. Again and again The pain of modern acupuncture health care another important progress to the clinical effect is a lot of contrast observed to confirm his reliability. General method has 3 kinds: one kind is to compare a control group. This work in the early 50 s and 60 s have developed. As at the time with acupuncture flu, at the same time a different drug prevention groups compared, the results prove acupuncture is some of western medicine preventive effect is a plus. 2 it is through the long-term accumulate a large amount of case to prove that the results are. Such as the acupuncture prevent inflammation, observe the number of more than seven thousand patients, found that as long as was the response function body to prevent passable, can to prevent diseases role. Another such as epidemic encephalitis, a reported six thousand cases were observed more than twenty thousand person of acupuncture 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, successfully quit smoking, although that acupuncture has certain psychological factors, the more the main depend on physical factors.

Four, trying to explore the mechanism prevention. This in, in recent years do more, also a well. Probably, one kind is can be divided into second set up more reliable indicator of the laboratory to give priority to. Such as acupuncture to preent stroke, many index shows that acupuncture can produce prevent blood coagulation, improve blood viscosity and to a certain extent the function of human body size expansion blood vessels. Another kind is animal experiments. Acupuncture why can prevent shock? A lot of experimental animals of the observation shows that acupuncture group than in the control group must be released more blood, to reach the predetermined low blood pressure level, into shock. At the same time, blood pressure drops, after bloodletting degree than the control group is small; Bleed, blood pressure after back stop quickly. After blood transfusion, animal survival rate is higher. The above shows that does acupuncture prevention role. And the more in-depth research proves, the effect of acupuncture and prevent shock, main may be through the nervous system to realize.

To sum up, preventing physicians and health care through acupuncture the joint efforts of the acupuncture, has become the important composition part of academic, and are positive influence on the modern prevent the development of medical science. Of course, from the overall perspective, it can also be found this or that, but the lack of acupuncture and action mechanism of the human body lies mainly in the adjustment function, this makes the whole acupuncture in prevention at present serious harm human difficult-and-rare-case cuhk dedicated hand. For signs that acupuncture can improve the immune function of patients with certain cancer, some scholars at home and abroad with acupuncture also noticed that AIDS. In addition, with the elderly population increase, acupuncture health care will also shows its superiority. Recently, the foreign and reports application acupuncture in preventing and space disease. These, all for the development of acupuncture preventive care, showing the encouraging prospect.
