The Principle of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in Treating Pains

Traditional Chinese acupuncture is an ancient and miraculous therapeutic method. After thousands of years of practice and inheritance, it has unique curative effects in treating pains. The principle of acupuncture in treating pains mainly includes the following aspects. Firstly, it is based on the theory of meridians. It is recorded in “The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon” that “Meridians can determine life and death, deal with various diseases, regulate deficiency and excess, and must not be blocked.” By stimulating specific acupoints, it can regulate the qi and blood circulation of the meridians, make the qi and blood unobstructed, and thereby achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Just like a roadblock will cause traffic paralysis, and after unclogging the road, everything can return to normal operation. Secondly, acupuncture can stimulate the body’s own regulatory mechanism. Modern research has shown that acupuncture can regulate the functions of the nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system, etc., and prompt the body to release substances such as endorphins with analgesic effects and enhance the body’s self-repair ability. For example, when the body is damaged, acupuncture is like a start button that activates the body’s self-protection and repair system to help fight against pains. Furthermore, from the perspective of energy balance, acupuncture can adjust the yin-yang balance of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the imbalance of yin and yang is an important cause of diseases. Through the stimulation of acupuncture, the yin and yang of the human body can be restored to coordination and balance again, thereby eliminating pains. Just like the two ends of a balance scale, once there is an imbalance, there will be problems, and acupuncture is the key means to help restore the balance. The practice of many ancient physicians also verified the effectiveness of acupuncture. For example, Hua Tuo used acupuncture to treat diseases and saved countless people. In modern medicine, acupuncture is also widely used in the treatment of various diseases, such as painful diseases, neurological diseases, digestive system diseases, etc., and has achieved remarkable results. In conclusion, the principle of traditional Chinese acupuncture in treating pains is multi-faceted. It combines theories such as the theory of meridians, the body’s own regulation, and energy balance. Although its principle is not completely clear, a large amount of clinical practice and research have fully proved its outstanding value in relieving and treating pains and has made important contributions to the cause of human health.
