Chapter 44 - Learning the Acupuncture

Since the seventies of the twentieth century, with the rise of the international "Chinese medicine fever" and "acupuncture fever", traditional Chinese medicine is going to the world, and acupuncture medicine has become a gorgeous flower in the garden of medicine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 International scholars once made such an analogy: Chinese medicine is like a golden crown, and acupuncture is the bright pearl on the top of the crown.

Nowadays, acupuncture is practiced by many people. Because acupuncture is easy to use, knowing a few acupuncture points, or even not knowing the acupuncture points, can prick where there is pain, and it has a certain curative effect. Therefore, there are barefoot doctors in the countryside doing acupuncture, there are brothers and sisters in beauty salons doing it, and there are Chinese immigrants who want to earn extra money.

Acupuncture is really easy to learn but difficult to master.

Xiao Qiao sat on the bed, with a clean towel in front of him, and 34 shiny stainless steel needles lying on it. For acupuncture, silver needles are actually inferior to stainless steel needles, mainly because silver needles are too soft and easy to break, which is easy to cause medical accidents; In addition, the cost of silver needles is also high. Now there is also a kind of needle that looks like gold, which is golden yellow, but it is actually a stainless steel needle, but it is plated with a layer of yellow on the outside.

Having said so much, Xiao Qiao couldn't afford to buy a good needle.

He was anxious to learn the abilities of the Su Ling, and he was currently injured on his body, so it was just right to learn acupuncture.

"Hua Lao, the needle is ready." Xiao Qiao said.

Hua Tuo said with a serious expression: "If you want to truly master the technique of acupuncture, you must do three things: first, clear meridians; 2. Remembering holes; 3. Practice diligently. Every doctor who learns acupuncture will use the needle on his own body now, and carefully experience the feeling of the needle before he can administer the needle to others, even if you have my ability now, there is no exception. Xiao Qiao, do you dare to try the needle? ”

Medical ethics! A doctor's medical ethics is to treat every patient well and save lives. If you are not sure of something, you have to use it for others, which tarnishes these two words.

"Why don't you dare?" Xiao Qiao knew what Hua Tuo meant, and said in an impassioned voice.

"Very well, take off your shirt." Hua Tuo commanded.

Xiao Qiao unbuttoned his shirt and took off his upper clothes.

"What I'm going to teach you today is a kind of medical technique that you modern people have named Hua Tuo Jia Chi Acupoint. It has a total of 34 acupuncture points, from the first thoracic vertebra to the fifth lumbar vertebrae, and the spinous process of each vertebral vertebral vertebra is opened 0.5 inches. Thoracic vertebrae 1 to 12, lumbar vertebrae 1 to 5, 17 acupuncture points on one side. You first press your hand on these places and show me how you feel. It was a little strange for Hua Tuo to say this by himself, Hua Tuo said that Hua Tuo was spine, so awkward.

Xiao Qiao reached behind his back with both hands. It's a little funny for people to do this, but Xiao Qiao doesn't have a trace of smile. Scholarship is something that needs to be treated with seriousness, and he cannot be allowed to blaspheme and neglect. He said: "There is a slight tingling pain in the third thoracic vertebrae, the pain sensation in the fourth thoracic vertebra is slightly stronger, and the pain remains for a little longer after the third lumbar vertebra is pressed, and there is no abnormal feeling in other places." ”

"The three thoracic vertebrae correspond to the lungs, and if you press here, you will feel pain, which means that you have bronchial symptoms and are prone to colds; The four thoracic vertebrae correspond to the chest and back, indicating that you have chest tightness and coronary heart disease; The three lumbar vertebrae correspond to the bladder, with less urine and strong pain in the lower back and inner knees. The position you press is generally correct, but you must know that the acupuncture points of the human body are very small, and there may be another acupuncture point next to one acupuncture point, and the slightest deviation in the needle will have unimaginable consequences. Now, with a needle. ”

Hua Tuo's own needle is very accurate, and he can also see that others have made a mistake. Once, there was a postmaster named Xu Yi, who was sick, and Hua Tuo went to see him. Xu Yi said to Hua Tuo: ?" Yesterday, I asked the medical officer, Liu Ren, to inject me four inches above my navel, and I couldn't cough and couldn't sleep well. Hua Tuo said, "Ahhh He was going to give you a needle in the middle wrist, but he stabbed the wrong one and poked it into the liver. You won't be able to eat every day, and you'll only have five days to live! Later, Xu Yi's illness worsened, and he died within a few days.

He waited for a while, and found that Xiao Qiao still didn't mean to stick the needle, so he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

"I don't dare to do anything if you say that." Xiao Qiao smiled bitterly. When I went shopping with Lin Yuxin to save Old Man Du before, I didn't have time to allow him to think too much, just to save people. But now that he has scruples, looking ahead and looking backwards, he has become timid.

Do you want to stop in such a place? Never! Xiao Qiao's heart was beating hard, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he lifted the long needle and stabbed it directly into the position of the first thoracic vertebrae.

The heartbeat is so strong that it will inevitably cause the hand holding the needle to tremble.

A trembling hand will inevitably lead to a misalignment or a mistake in strength.

Xiao Qiao's back was tense, and the needle didn't pierce it. The sharp tip of the needle directly deflected the track, marking a trail of blood. "The pain is secondary, the main thing is that you have failed." He thought to himself, a little dejected. Soon, the negativity was swept away, and he prepared a second shot.

What is his talent called? Hang on.

Success is not a skill, but a persistent mindset.

Xiang Yu and Shi Qian also came out and looked at Xiao Qiao quietly. The two of them don't understand the doctor, the needle, or something, and it is precisely because they don't understand that they find it difficult.

"First of all, you have to stabilize your state of mind." Where does your fear come from? Because Hua Tuo said that the needle is wrong, it is easy to be dangerous.

There are a total of 409 acupuncture points on the human body, including 361 acupuncture points on 14 meridians and 48 extrameridian acupoints. Among them, there are 36 dead points and 18 residual points as vital points, and eight are in the dorsal and lumbar sacral areas. The information flashed quickly in Xiao Qiao's mind, and he finally knew how to stabilize his state of mind.

It's very simple, as long as you don't hit these eight acupuncture points.

Xiao Qiao asked, "Elder Hua, how can I judge that the place I stabbed into is correct?" ”

"Judging by location and depth. Depth is tentatively defined as the effective function, the epithetical stinging surface, and the inner stinging of the inner symptoms. The third or fourth thoracic spine and the third lumbar spine are all symptoms, and the other positions are all symptoms. Hua Tuo said.

Hua Tuo was familiar with the tissue structure of various parts of the human body because he often operated on patients, which was very beneficial to him to study acupuncture, so he discovered the "chiropractic" acupoint, and acupuncture technology was also famous at that time. Hua Tuo uses acupuncture to treat people and select acupoints very well, each time only one or two acupoints are taken, and moxibustion is only one or two acupoints, each moxibustion is seven or eight strong. After the needle was inserted, he asked the patient if he had any soreness, numbness, swelling, or heaviness, and the patient said "yes", which meant that the effect of the needle had reached the affected area. His acupuncture is characterized by less acupuncture and high efficacy. He is a master of acupuncture.

The key to achieving the effect in acupuncture is to see whether the patient has deqi, which is also known as acupuncture, which is the meridian qi induction generated after the needle is pierced into the acupoints. When Deqi is generated, both the patient and the doctor can feel it, and the patient's feeling is that there is a corresponding soreness, numbness, swelling, and heaviness under the needle, or a sensation that spreads and conducts in a certain direction along a certain part. The doctor's feeling is that there is a feeling of tightness under the needle.

If there is no qi, the doctor will feel empty under the needle, and the patient will not feel anything. This is a matter of adjusting the direction of the acupuncture or determining whether the acupuncture points are being found correctly.

"I see." Xiao Qiao suddenly realized. He took a deep breath and pushed his hand flat behind his back.

After an instantaneous flash of pain, like electricity, he didn't feel anything anymore - he stabbed the wrong one again.

Xiao Qiao slightly rotated and closed the needle. When you look at it, the front half of the needle is filled with blood, which is a phenomenon that has punctured the capillaries.

He was silent, Hua Tuo, Xiang Yu, and Shi Qian were silent. Silently took out the alcohol cotton and wiped off the blood stains on it, Xiao Qiao took out the needle again.

If you don't hit, stab again.

If you don't hit yet, you will stab again.

When the pain was almost numb, a faint feeling of soreness suddenly appeared. Xiao Qiao cheered like a nervous disorder: "Hua Lao, Brother Yu, Brother Qian, you stabbed the place just now, look at it, it is the position behind me." He jumped up from the bed excitedly, turned his back to the three, and held out a finger to point to the place where the half-cut needle was exposed.

Why do people show so much excitement and joy when they have achieved a trivial success? Because there have been too many failures in the past, it will highlight how hard-won success is.

When the wine has been aged for a long time, it will naturally be fragrant.

"Men, you should be cruel to yourself." Xiang Yu said.

"Oh my god, I can see that I am so frightened." Time Shifts.

"See, you're doing a great job." Hua Tuo said.

What happened next was much smoother. Everything is difficult at the beginning, with the experience of stabbing the acupuncture point for the first time, Xiao Qiao is mostly hit by one needle in the later needle process, and occasionally there are two mistakes, and the injury is much better than at the beginning.

When the numbness brought by the thirty-fourth needle gradually became clear, Xiao Qiao's whole person was like a hedgehog with a bunch of needles behind him. He was overjoyed: "Hua Lao, take a look, I succeeded, I succeeded!" ”

Xiang Yu, Hua Tuo, and Shi Qian are the three legends of the souls, what wind and waves have they never seen in that life? But at this time, at this time, Xiao Qiao's shock to them is incomprehensible. They don't overdo it, and they are even so sad that they want to cry.

The young man smiled a little brighter than the sun, and behind him was a shocking blood red.
