Daily message(５):Obstipaão (Constipation)

ming — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:44:06 +0000

Obstipação é um dos sintomas que muitas pessoas têm. Até hoja ainda não tive nenhum cliente que não foi resolvido por acupuntura. Ou posso dizer que se mesmo não consegue resolver obstipação com seu tratamento de acupuntura, é melhor não continuar trabalhar como acupuntor. O caso mais grave que tive foi um cliente que sofria por 20 anos de obstipação, tomava sempre chás e as comprimidos dos medicos para fazer,Esse cliente fica fazer uma vez por dia depois de 4 sessões até hoje. claro,os medicos não sabem como se tratar obstipação, a resoluçao para eles é usar comprimidos por toda a vida. Assim os medicos e as farmacias ganham sempre. É uma coisa tão simples mas a medicina convencional não consegue resolver.
Use os seguites pontos,pela minha experiencia, funcionou sempre:

Tian Shu (E25): ponto Mu do Intestino Grosso
Guan Yuan (Ren4): ponto Mu do Intestino delgado
Zhao Hai (KI 6): ponto abertura do Yin Qiao Mai
Zhi Gou (TR 6): Ponto Fogo do San Jiao
Shang Ju Xu (E37): Ponto He Inferiore do Intestino Grosso / ponto de influencia inferiore (Xia He Xue)
Com esses pontos, quase resolve sempre.Tambem pode picar E36,Ren 12 ou Ponto Shu dorsal do Intestino Grosso se quiser…

Daily message(4):Cefaléia Frontal

ming — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:39:04 +0000

Existem varios tipos de cefaléias, e cada tipo tem tratamento diferente. Habitualmente cefaléia frontal tambem chama se dor de Yang Ming Meridiano. Acupuntura é muito eficaz.
Pontos:
Ren12( Zhong wan): Ponto Mu do estômago, Ponto reunião (Hui) do Fu-orgão. Normalmente a dor de cabeça pode desaparecer dentro 20 minutos.
Se a dor ainda continua,pode usar tambem esses pontos:
Caso excesso: E45(Li Dui), ponto filho do Meridiano estômago.
Caso insuficienfe: E41 (Jie Xi), ponto mãe do Estâmago. Pode usar Ponto E36 ao mesmo tempo.
IG4 (He Gu): ponto fonte do Intestino Grosso, use tecnica de tonificar ou dispersar (dependo do caso). Pu7 (Lie que) é favoravel. (Tecnica do Ponto fonte e Ponto conexão).
Se tiver nausea, pode usar o ponto PC6 (Nei Guan);
Se tiver olhos vermelhos, Sangrar Ponto Tai Yang ou Er Jian (ponto topo da orelha)…

São poucos pontos,mas se conseguir usar bem as tecnicas de tonificar ou dispersar, funciona sempre….

Daily message(3): Insónia durante a gravidez

ming — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:34:12 +0000

Insonia é outra queixa common durante a gravidez. A razão é quase a mesma: o sangue do figado fica relativamente insuficiente,porque o sangue vai para utero alimentar o feto. O Hun só fica sossegado quando tem sangue suficiente no figado. Quando chegar a noite, O Po vai começar a trabalhar, e o Hun tenta voltar para figado para descansar, mas como o figado tem pouco sangue, Hun entra e sai, insonia aparece. O pior momento é entre 1am e 3am, pois é hora do figado e ele fica ainda mais activo nessa hora.
Resolução é simple:
F3(Tai Chong)—cuidado,só pode usar metodo de tonificação.
F14 (Qi Men)—Ponto Mu do Figado, Pode fazer acupuntura ou moxibustão
C7(Shen Men)
A formula Suan Zao Ren Tang é favoravel…

Daily message(2): Náusea e vomitos (Morning sickness)

ming — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:31:20 +0000

Náusea e vomitos (Morning sickness) durante a gravidez é um sintoma muito commun. Segunda a teoria de Medicina Chinesa, o seu sangue vai sair do figado e entrar no utero para alimentar o feto quando está gravida. Assim, Yin (sangue) do figado fica relativamente fraco, e o figado vai chatear o estômago (Gan Qi Fan Wei), e aparecer nauseas ou vomitos, a mulher gravida vai começar a gostar da comida acido (acido pertence ao Madeira,Figado),porque o corpo dela procura automaticamente coimda acida para equilibrar a ambiente do figado.
Dois pontos para resolver esse sintoma são: Ren12(zhong wan) e PC6(Neiguan). E a formula eficaz é :Ban Xia Ren Shen Gan Cao Tang (de: Shang Han Lun)
A medicina convencional ainda não consegue explicar bem esse sintoma, nem saber tratar…só quimicas…

Daily message(1): periodo

ming — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:27:55 +0000

As mulheres não devem lavar os pés ou a cabeça com água fria durante o periodo,que pode parar o periodo logo e causar dores nos proximos periodos. Uma maneira simples para tirar as dores do periodo é fazer moxibustão no ponto Ren 4 (Guan Yuan), e o melhor momento é quando está mesmo com periodo, a dor pode desaparcer dentro 30 minutos.
Se não acreditar,experimente…

Afonia

ming — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:16:48 +0000

Temos de acreditar que acupuntura resulta rapido.
Afonia, 12 dias, já tomou varios tipos de quimicas,nada resultou.
Pontos: Lieque, Zhaihai, Lian Quan, Tiantu, Yamen; Sangrar (Shao Shang, Shangyang, Da Zhui).
Depois de 20 minutos,tirei as agulhas, o paciente começa falar normal.

Um aluno do UMC mandou me uma mensagem para perguntar pq escolhi esses pontos,bem,é uma boa pergunta!
Cada vez escolhemos um ponto,temos que saber porque,não é so dizer que aqule ponto é bom para isso,como alguem disse que usar sempre Du20 e Yingtang,pq é bom para tudo.Isso não é acupuntura,é jogo.
os pontos para afonia:
Lieque-Ponto abertura do RenMai;
Zhao Hai – ponto abertura Do Yin Qiao Mai;
Yamen – esse ponto tem seu efeito especifico para afonia;
Lian Quan, Tiantu – o cliente queixava se da secura e dor da gargante e a boca,esse ponto produz liquido e aliviar a dor;
ShaoShang, ShangYang: sangrar tira o calor e vento do meridiano YangMing e Tai Yin da mão, ponto Da Zhui ajuda ter melhor efeito.
Claro,como é um caso agudo,Vento-Calor,ainda podemos usar o ponto filho do Pulmão (Chi Ze) para dispersar…

A forma errada de fazer acupuntura em Portugal

ming — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:09:05 +0000

There are more and more acupuntores day after day in Portugal, because lack of legistration for regulate it, there are many inventions or wrong way to pratise it. By the other hand, to portuguese,acupuncture is still something new,and they do not know what it is, neither how is the right way to comment it.

There are some typical wrong way to make acupuncture in Portugal:

Put needles only on the painful position. This is a frequent wrong way that you could find. It because many new acupuntores have no experiences at all,or their tuitor did not teach the right way to make acupuncture, their only choice is to puncture the pain part of body. Many clients told me this kind of experiences, because they found that my way of acupuncture is completely different from the others. If acupuncture is only put needle on painful part, so no need to study it,everyone can do it.
Use always electric stimualtion. This way even make many people believe that acupuncture must to be made with eletricity. I am not saying that there is no need electric stimulation, I just want to say that no need it for all cases ,in fact even many acupunctores do not know the right way to use electric stimulation. We need to know acupuncture is already exist for more than 2000 years, and electricity only was used in 20 century.
Abuse of Chinese herbal formule. If someone give you more than 2 formulas to take,you need to realize that he does not know how to use it at all. Normally I only give one formule to those who really need it. Many times I only make acupuncture.

These are the three typical wrong ways to practise acupuncture (Chinese Medicine) in Portugal, the only reason is that they do not have a completely study. Some only study for one year or less, they begin to treat patients soon. We should know that this way of study is not enough, they work only to cheat your money.One year, they even can not understand those basic concepts of Chinese Medicine.

Take care!

menopausa,acupuntura e fitoterapia chinesa

ming — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 18:37:32 +0000

Menopause is the normal, gradual physiological transition in a women’s life from a reproductive to a non-reproductive state. It is the time when the ovaries cease to function. When a woman has had no menstrual periods for 12 months, and has no other medical reason for her periods to stop, she is in menopause. Many women sail through menopause without any unusual discomforts, while others experience various uncomfortable symptoms during this phase of life.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), all phenomena in the world are related by the opposing concepts of yin and yang. Yin refers to femaleness, bones, solid organs, coldness, darkness, heaviness, downward/inward movement, and calmness. Yang refers to the opposite—maleness, the bowels, heat, light, upward/outward movement, surface, and agitation. The relationship between the two is in a constant state of flux, yet both are necessary for life. To achieve optimal health, yin and yang must be in a harmonious, dynamic balance. While menopause can move a woman’s body out of balance, TCM can help her restore harmony.

The vital substances of Chinese medical physiology that affect the yin and yang include:

Essence: This is the vital physical presence or spirit of the body and all physical elements that are responsible for determining physical growth and development.
Qi: This refers to energy that propels all bodily functions and is responsible for the movement, transformation, warmth, and restraint of the blood.
Blood: Blood underlies the nourishment of the functions of qi and is the physical manifestation of the woman.
Bodily fluids: This includes all fluids in the body. They moisten the skin, hair, tissues, joints, and organs, and allow for smooth movement of joints and other body parts. Yin fluids are thick, lining the internal organs and cushioning the brain and spinal cord. Yang fluids are thinner, such as sweat, saliva and urine.

Menopausal symptoms often include:

hot flushes
night sweats
headaches
fatigue
lethargy
irritability
vaginal dryness
anxiety
nervousness
depression
insomnia
inability to concentrate

Treatment of Menopause with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

In Asian countries, the incidence of menopausal symptoms among women is dramatically less than Western countries. This disparity is primarily due to differences in diet and the use of traditional medicines. Often, women in Asian countries begin to use acupuncture and herbal medicine prior to approaching menopause decreasing their likelihood of experiencing the negative aspects of these life changes.

Using Chinese Herbal Medicines for Menopausal Symptoms

For a woman experiencing menopausal symptoms, such as excessive hot flashes, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner would recommend an herbal formula to balance her body. The most typical pattern seen in menopausal women is Kidney Yin Deficiency, presenting the symptoms of hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness, tinnitus, night sweats, and weakness of the lower back and knees. This condition is most commonly treated with the formula Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan, which is composed of eight herbs, including Chinese Foxglove and Cornelian Cherry. In a Dutch study, researchers found this combination to be effective in reducing the amount of hot flashes a menopausal woman experienced. The formula has been in use for hundreds of years, and is often taken long-term in middle age and older women during and after menopause.

Kidney essence deficiency often manifests as osteoporosis in menopausal women. Formulas that contain Kidney essence tonics and herbs with high calcium content are often prescribed in these cases. Additional formulas are also used for menopause based upon other symptoms the woman may be experiencing. Visiting a trained Chinese herbalist will allow a specific formula to be made specifically for your symptoms.

Using Acupuncture for Menopausal Symptoms

A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner might also suggest a woman receive acupuncture treatments to alleviate menopausal symptoms, especially hot flashes. Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin, sterilized needles into specific points in the body. These points contain concentrations of qi and blood. In TCM, qi is considered the life energy that flows throughout the body. By adjusting the flow of qi in the body, various physiological systems of the body can be regulated, including the endocrine system, which controls the production of hormones.

An acupuncturist will design a treatment based upon your specific menopausal symptoms. Typical acupuncture treatments for menopause including strengthening the kidney with the points Kidney 3, Kidney 7, and Urinary Bladder 23. Additional points can be added for specific symptoms, such as Stomach 36 for fatigue, Kidney 2 for hot flashes, Spleen 6 for insomnia and night sweats, and Heart 7 for emotional difficulties.

Research has demonstrated that acupuncture can significantly decrease the frequency of hot flashes. Women often respond well to acupuncture treatments twice a week for the first few weeks, followed by treatment every week for several more weeks. Continued monthly acupuncture sessions can prevent a reoccurrence.

Acupuncture needles generally do not hurt, though some clients will feel sensations of achiness, soreness, heaviness, or electrical tingling where some needles are inserted. Acupuncture generally is safe with few side effects. Sometimes a patient reports drowsiness for a few hours after the treatment or mild numbness or aching at the point where the needle was inserted.

Chun Wu (Spring,to cover;Dress more),prepare your body for spring

ming — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 14:18:49 +0000

In the past month, thousands of people have caught cold (flu),and more than 6000 people died in Portugal.Of course,not all of them died from flu.

Western medicine is always try to find what is the virus,unfortunately,even they discover what is the virus,they can´t cure it,because there is no pills can kill virus,and more 90% of flu is from virus.

Chinese medicine never had studied virus and those formules are enough for any kind of flu.Because Chinese medicine only change the ambient of our body.

There is a famous saying in Chinese Medicine:Chun Wu,it means cover your body in Spring,or dress more in Spring.I can see many people get flu only because of wrong way of dressing.

In Chinese Medicine, from spring to summer, our skin pores has the tendency to open for the change of weather.So if we can train our skin before summer arriving,our body can fit better.And Chun Wu is a traditional and useful way to train your skin.If you put more clother,first,you will not catch cold easily(flu); second,if you feel hot with more clothes,your body will sweat (you know that when you are sweating,your skin pores is open.)This is just like a sportman,before you make exercise,you need warm your body.(Aquecimento)

I am sure,if you respect this traditional rule,you will be stronger than the others…
