Do you realise that as the years go by, you seem to have pressed the slow-release button, your reaction is no longer as agile as before, and your memory has started to play hide-and-seek, with familiar names and faces always circling your mouth and slipping away? Night, should be the physical and mental rest of the harbour, but has become a battlefield of tossing and turning, the quality of sleep is not as good as before, wake up early in the morning, fatigue is still hanging in the eyes. Emotions, too, can change on a whim, and the slightest thing can ignite the fire in your heart. The food on the table seems to have lost its allure, and the appetite is no longer as voracious as it was when I was young. These changes can't help but make people worried, is dementia creeping up on you?
You have been looking around for medical advice, but your family doctor is having a hard time, and your friends and family can only provide you with a few remedies that have little effect. When you feel lost and helpless, why not turn your attention to the ancient and mysterious world of Chinese medicine? In the vast universe of Chinese medicine, there is a unique theory to explain all this. According to TCM, the older you get the more deficient your qi, blood and kidney essence become. Qi and blood can be compared to the rivers of the body, which nourish every inch of the land; kidney essence, on the other hand, is like the source of life. When these two rivers of life gradually dry up, the medulla oblongata is deprived of nourishment, and symptoms such as memory loss, emotional instability, poor sleep and loss of appetite ensue.
Acupuncture, the treasure of Chinese medicine that has been passed down for thousands of years, is like a magician who is proficient in meridians. It uses a silver needle as thin as a hair to gently touch those mysterious acupuncture points hidden under the skin as if opening a secret passage to the depths of the body. These acupuncture points, like switches in the body, once activated, can unblock blocked meridians, tonify deficient qi and blood, and revitalise the river of life. Sticking needles into the body? It sounds scary, but the acupuncture technique is very profound. The doctor will accurately pierce your acupuncture points, accompanied not by pain or even bleeding as expected, but by some soreness and swelling. After a skilled practitioner has given you acupuncture, you may find that your memory gradually recovers, your mood becomes stable, and you no longer toss and turn at night; your appetite quietly improves, and every mouthful of food is filled with unprecedented flavour.
In the vast world of Chinese acupuncture, acupuncture treatment is like a skilled martial arts master with a variety of dazzling moves. Among them, head acupuncture, simple millimetre needle acupuncture, electroacupuncture, warm acupuncture, ear acupuncture, eye acupuncture and other therapies are like the master of the hands of a variety of sharp weapons, each showing their skills, for different diseases to perform different stunts. In these therapies, head acupuncture, also known as scalp acupuncture, is undoubtedly the clinical star player. It is like a navigator who is well versed in the meridians and channels of the head, using hair-thin needles to accurately stimulate those specific zones of the head that hide the mysteries of life. Each pinprick seems to lead the flow of life energy in the right direction. This technique also has international recognition. In 1989, at the International Standard Acupuncture Point Names Scientific Group Meeting (Geneva) held under the auspices of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Head Acupuncture Therapy was formally recognised and adopted internationally due to its excellent therapeutic efficacy and scientific basis.
It may sound like a frightening thing to ‘stab’ yourself with a needle, but in reality, it is a serious and professional treatment in the ancient and mysterious art of Chinese acupuncture. It is like a healer hidden in ancient wisdom, using thin silver needles as a bridge to connect the human body to the harmony and balance of nature. If you are suffering from some unspeakable symptoms at the moment, put aside your doubts and seek out the Chinese doctor around you who is familiar with Chinese medicine. They are likewise men with ancient secrets, able to accurately select the right acupuncture points for acupuncture treatment according to your constitution and condition. So, don't be afraid of those silver needles, take this step bravely and experience the magic of acupuncture in Chinese medicine.
