Chapter 159: Acupuncture Points and Meridians
Al sighed and gave up on this idea, saying that he had been in this library for more than two months, and he wondered how the Westland Comptoir was developing now? Although he had completed all the orders for electric lights for half a year in advance, Al was still a little worried in his heart, without his presence, would Sasha be able to deal with those nobles who were like wolves and tigers?
Coupled with the fact that he has been doing experiments on the "potential patch" of the brain, Al has been like a drunk who has drunk too much for two whole months, and his mind is dizzy and painful all day long, "Let's go back and rest for two days, and deal with the accumulated things by the way." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info", thinking so, Al got up and walked outside.
Maybe it's because he is half asleep and half awake, his brain is confused, Al is careless and his thigh hits the corner of the table, and for a while, a numb and sour tinging sensation spreads from the root of his thigh to his whole body, until he reaches his mouth, Al knocks on his right leg as if he has no bones, and his leg falls down as soon as he is weak, but fortunately, Al supports the table and avoids the tragedy of falling to the ground.
Al grinned and sat down, thinking to himself that he had just bumped into it, how could he react so strongly? He pinched the place where he had been knocked with his hand, and his whole leg seemed to have lost sensation and had no touch, "This seems to be an acupuncture point? Anyway, if it hits, it will be numb." He thought so, and suddenly, as if he had been enlightened, he jumped up on one leg.
As soon as the word acupuncture point came out, it was like lightning slashing through his mind, Al opened up a new way of thinking, Al heard this word from time to time on the earth, came to this world and was reborn three times, Al has almost completely forgotten, like a storage room full of debris, hidden in the corner, if it wasn't for this occasional knock, Al would not have remembered it anyway.
This statement of acupuncture points on the earth is also controversial, just like traditional Chinese medicine, the practical application is indeed effective, but it cannot be explained by modern medicine, or even modern science, so many people dismiss it as "feudal superstition" and disdain. However, there are often some incurable diseases or incurable diseases that are said to be cured by middle school and acupuncture, so many people are convinced of this, which also leads to some scammers pulling up the banner of tiger skin and cheating under the banner of traditional Chinese medicine, which has led to the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine has been greatly damaged. Everyone has different opinions, all kinds of rumors are everywhere, resulting in people looking at traditional Chinese medicine as if they are seeing flowers in a fog, the truth and falsehood, it is impossible to distinguish between the true and the false, and even more often connect traditional Chinese medicine with traditional Chinese culture, and often buckle the big hat of protecting traditional culture, which will make this muddy water even more turbid.
As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, the impression of acupuncture points is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the rise of martial arts novels, and all kinds of magical and mysterious acupoint kung fu render the efficacy of acupuncture points superbly. In fact, not only Chinese study acupuncture points, many foreign scholars have also done in-depth research on acupuncture points, trying to find out the scientific basis and explain it.
One of the widely accepted explanations is that there are "good conductive points" in some parts of the skin that are particularly high in electrical conductivity, and their location coincides with the position of acupuncture points, which is a kind of discussion from the electrical properties of acupuncture points, but there are other places in the human body that have such an effect, but they are not acupuncture points, and this counterexample is difficult to explain.
There is also a theory that acupuncture points are related to nerves, researchers have found that almost all acupuncture points are associated with nerves, a certain acupuncture point and the nerves of a certain organ often belong to the same spinal cord segment, in the embryonic development period, the skin and nerves are homologous, and the nerve center has the projection points of various skin areas and organs. This theory is in line with the theory that acupuncture points are related to internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine, so it has also received a lot of support, but this theory is not unassailable, and there is a contrary opinion that there are nerve distribution in non-acupuncture point areas, and there is no difference in histology.
Another theory is that acupuncture points are closely related to blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, and the skin temperature at acupuncture points is higher than that in other places, which may be precisely because of this series of complex relationships to form the mystery of acupuncture points.
Modern people have made many studies and explanations based on modern science on acupuncture points, but unfortunately they have not come up with a convincing theory that has been demonstrated through experiments, which can only be attributed to the wisdom of the ancient Chinese for thousands of years, and the debate on acupuncture points and traditional Chinese medicine has continued.
However, in this other world, Al Ke doesn't care whether the science is scientific or not, he just cares whether it is useful or not, that is, the standard "take" ist. Because human blood does not react to the elements, resulting in the uselessness of the "potential patch" to the human body, and whether the acupuncture points are electrical, nervous, or thermal affects the human body, it can increase uncertain variables, and maybe there will be a miracle birth, just like artemisinin has to be discovered, the final successful test number is No. 191, which means that it has failed 190 times before, and the discovery of artemisinin does not have a complete modern medical explanation, but is more like the "Shennong Suit Baicao" like traditional Chinese medicine , through continuous experimentation, finally succeeded.
However, the difficulty is that although Al knows the acupuncture points, he has not studied them specifically, and he knows the approximate location of some acupuncture points, but the exact location is unknown. For this reason, he had to experiment on his body first, as if he had hit his thighs before, kneading and pounding his whole body to see if there were any sore parts, such as the inside of the tiger's mouth, the inner thighs a little up, the elbows up a little, etc., Al first put "potential patches" on these parts for experiments.
After several failed experiments, Al began to reflect, he guessed that there are meridians in Chinese medicine, that the human body has 12 meridians and 8 strange meridians, and it is these meridians that connect the human body into a whole, and the cycle is endless, from this point of view, this concept is similar to the view that "the human body is a precision magic circle", and it can even be said that it coincides amazingly, so the experiment on a single acupuncture point may not be effective, and it may need to be applied according to the acupuncture points of the meridians to be effective.
Eyre, who has been obsessed with martial arts novels for a while, vaguely remembers that the twelve meridians and the eight veins of the strange meridians are quite complicated, and the number of acupuncture points is roughly hundreds, and it seems to be arranged and combined, different acupuncture points are arranged differently, not to mention that Al is still not sure about the specific location of these acupuncture points.
But he thought that in the martial arts novel, it was mentioned that the Du pulse of the eight veins was in the dorsal midline, and the Ren pulse was in the front midline, like a mirror image of the central line of the human body, and it was two straight lines, and there were no twists and turns, so Al decided to experiment on the second pulse of Ren Du first.
