Lan Tianfan is everyone in acupuncture, so he talks about these things very thoroughly. He carefully explained: "After the needle is inserted into the patient's body, it will cause the patient's local sensation of soreness, numbness, swelling, or heaviness, which does not exist in the patient's epidermis, but originates from the part where the needle tip reaches. ”

"A good acupuncturist will produce these sensations in a large area where the tip of the needle goes, and this feeling is very comfortable, a feeling of provocation and sinking, and a feeling of massaging the back of a strained shoulder. And a doctor with poor technique brings the patient the pain when the needle is inserted, and the pain when the needle is administered. ”

"This pain is a very uncomfortable pain, the pain is on the surface of the skin, it is a stinging pain that pulls the skin, and it is different from the pain that feels very comfortable, the pain that occurs in the deep layer, that is, the part where the needle tip reaches, that is, the part where there is pain."

"If you can relax your whole body when doing acupuncture, and find a good acupuncturist to stick the needles, then you will basically not be bothered by pain."

Zeng Zhi listened to Lan Tianfan speak, and was unconsciously pierced with dozens of silver needles on his body, but he didn't feel any pain, and couldn't help but feel very admired for his skills as a teacher.

It's just that he didn't expect this result, on the first day he and Lan Tianfan officially learned acupuncture, they were actually pierced by the old guy as a bronze man.

………………

After Lan Tianfan gave Zeng Zhi a lot of needles, he began to talk eloquently: "The purpose of acupuncture is no more than three things, that is, to dredge the meridians, reconcile yin and yang, and strengthen the right and dispel evil. ”

Then, Lan Tianfan began to carefully explain these three purposes to Zeng Zhi.

The first is to dredge the meridians, which can make the blocked meridians unobstructed and play their normal physiological roles.

The meridians belong to the internal organs, and the external meridians belong to the limbs, and the circulation of qi and blood is its main physiological function. The meridians are blocked, the flow of qi and blood is blocked, and the clinical manifestations are pain, numbness, swelling, ecchymosis and other symptoms. The acupuncture department selects the corresponding acupoints, acupuncture techniques and triangular needle puncture bleeding to make the meridians smooth and the qi and blood run normally.

The so-called pain does not make sense, although this is an advertisement, but there is a certain amount of truth.

The function of acupuncture to reconcile yin and yang is to transform the body from a state of imbalance of yin and yang to a state of balance, which is the ultimate goal of acupuncture treatment.

The mechanism of disease occurrence is complex, but it can be summarized as an imbalance of yin and yang from the overall class. The function of acupuncture to reconcile yin and yang is accomplished through the attributes of yin and yang in the meridians, the compatibility of meridians and acupoints, and acupuncture techniques.

This point has been criticized by some experts in the past, thinking that the theory of yin and yang is too illusory, but now it seems to be very reasonable.

Just like the acid-base balance within the human body, if it is damaged, the person will definitely get sick, so Chinese medicine also pays attention to the golden mean, which is to draw a balance of the biological field, whether it is to regulate yin and yang or pursue the unity of heaven and man, it is a big goal of yin and yang balance.

The function of acupuncture is to help the body to uphold righteousness and drive away diseases. The process of the occurrence, development and prognosis of a disease is essentially a process of conflict between good and evil.

Acupuncture treatment is to play its role in strengthening the right and dispelling evil.

………………

Lan Tianfan explained these needle experiences to Zeng Zhi, and at the same time, he kept lifting those silver needles on Zeng Zhi's body, pulling and turning, twisting and pinching.

And with Lan Tianfan's movements, Zeng Zhi felt that there was a feeling of soreness, numbness, swelling, and heaviness in his body, and he knew that this was a good feeling.

In fact, Zeng Zhi's body is healthy, the veins in his body are unimpeded, and all kinds of senses are very keen, as long as Lan Tianfan's needle moves slightly, it is easy to feel the changes in his body.

For example, the operation of true qi is regulated by the silver needle, and the operation changes faster or slower.

This is very beneficial for Zeng Zhi to learn acupuncture techniques. Therefore, after Lan Tianfan actually demonstrated for a while, Zeng Zhi was able to roughly grasp the trick.

It's just that Zeng Zhi is a little curious, when ordinary acupuncture doctors perform acupuncture, they always have to ask patients some questions, such as what they feel, whether it hurts or not, whether they are numb or not, but Lan Tianfan doesn't ask at all, as if he knows what the other party feels when he gets the needle.

So he asked Lan Tianfan this question.

"That's what I've felt for years." Lan Tianfan smiled slightly, quite a kind of demeanor.

"Feelings?" Zeng Zhi couldn't help but be stunned, and felt that this thing was really very mysterious, that is, it was the most unreliable thing, but it was often the thing that needed to be relied on the most.

For example, in the casino, you need feeling to win, and on the battlefield, you need feeling to make decisions, and often many great scientists have succeeded after finding the feeling.

So it feels like this stuff is really hard to explain.

And Lan Tianfan's so-called feeling is also the accumulation of years of medical experience, right?

This thing is more based on talent and practice, not in a vacuum.

Lan Tianfan said to Zeng Zhi: "Since I have been self-medicated, I have been practicing for more than 50 years, and I have handled tens of thousands of patients. After so many years of needle walking, I have basically mastered this feeling. As soon as the needle went down, it was like a tomb robber inserting a Luoyang shovel into the ground, and he knew what was going on. As for the lifting points, according to the amount of force and the degree of distortion on the silver needle, you can know what the patient should feel, and basically there is no need to ask again. ”

"Then teacher, how do you feel about stabbing me?" Zeng Zhi asked with some curiosity.

Lan Tianfan thought about it seriously and said, "It's a very comfortable feeling." People who do not have pain, the meridians are so transparent, and the feedback generated by piercing them is healthy, and it feels like when I first learned acupuncture, under the guidance of the teacher, I used silver needles to puncture acupuncture and moxibustion. ”

Then Lan Tianfan began to give Zeng Zhi a needle, and the needle was not simply pulled out of the acupoint, but according to the different positions of the acupoint and the depth of the needle, there were different techniques.

Lan Tianfan explained to Zeng Zhi while picking up the needle, fortunately, Zeng Zhi's memory and understanding are quite good, and he also remembers it very clearly.

Lan Tianfan said: "The first key to acupuncture is to recognize the acupoints accurately, especially when encountering a paralyzed patient like Wang Tao, there is basically no feeling on his legs, so you have to find the acupoints, this is to test the school kung fu." ”
