Turn on four offs, adjust the ventilator, and get sick less~

I went back and checked the information carefully, and it turned out that there was already a discussion in the book: Hegu and Taichong acupoints are collectively called the four levels. Hegu is the original acupoint of the large intestine meridian of Hand Yang Ming, and Taichong is the original acupoint of the Yin and Liver meridians of the foot syncope. The two acupoints match, one yin and one yang, one up and down, adjust the qi and blood of the body, and manage the imbalance of yin and yang. It has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, promoting qi and invigorating blood, reducing stomach inversion, and fixing the mind to sleep. The interaction between the two acupoints complements each other, and the curative effect is more certain.......

........ I was on a visit that day, and a middle-aged woman walked in in a hurry, with a nervous expression, her brows were tight, her eyes were wide, her eyes were very dark, and her face was dull and dull. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "Doctor, what should I do, I can't hold on, I was diagnosed with mania, and now I feel like I'm about to have a seizure, I want to drop things and hit people." "At that time, I was thinking about whether to give her antimanic drugs directly, and after asking, I learned that she had stopped taking antimanic drugs for nearly half a year.

After much consideration, I decided to try acupuncture first. Half an hour later, the patient said that her mood was much relieved, she was prescribed traditional Chinese medicine, and left a hospital phone number, telling her to come to the hospital as soon as possible if she felt unwell. A week later, just after arriving at the door of the clinic, a woman was happy to greet me, "Dr. Fan, don't you know me?" "I couldn't help but be stunned, I looked familiar, but I really couldn't remember." I'm the manic patient. "It's really changed so much, the complexion is much better, the dark circles under my eyes have receded by 1/3, and my expression is so natural and relaxed that I can't recognize it.

It turned out that the patient had Haci Five Elements Acupuncture at home, and after the acupuncture was done once last week, the patient went home and acupunctured himself according to the acupuncture points of my acupuncture every day, and his mood improved and his sleep was steady. While sharing the happiness with the patients, I also deeply experienced the powerful effect of Hegu and Taichong acupoints in calming the heart and calming the nerves.

Later, when I chatted with my colleagues in the acupuncture department, I learned that in fact, the acupuncture department of our hospital had already carried out research on acupuncture Hegu Taichong acupoint for the treatment of depression, which was a project of the National Bureau. I once looked through Mr. Zhou Erjin's "Matchstick Doctor's Notes", and I was pleased to find that the two cases of mental disorders were treated with matchstick tapping Hegu and Taichong, and satisfactory results were also achieved. I think that the really practical and effective methods will be discovered by doctors in different generations and regions.

Nowadays, when I encounter patients with emotional instability or insomnia with obvious emotional symptoms, I mostly use these two acupuncture points. If you have a similar situation, you can also tap the acupuncture points with a press or a toothpick round tip (note that it is not the pointed end) for 5-8 minutes every 5-8 minutes. The pressure can be slightly larger, and if there is soreness and pain, it is best to do it within the range you can tolerate........
