Abstract:
Tinnitus is a clinically refractory disease with a high incidence.LAI's Tongyuan acupuncture method believes that tinnitus is nothing more than the two ends of deficiency and excess.The deficiency is closely related to original spirit,and the excess is related to the pathological factors such as externally-contracted six pathogenic factors,phlegm-damp and blood stasis,and qi stagnation and yang constraint.The Tongyuan acupuncture method is based on original spirit,takes the two vessels of conception vessel(CV)and governor vessel(GV)as the general outline,takes the regulation of yin and yang as the main method,pays attention to the combination of local and overall,and emphasizes the application of tonification and purgation,and has the clinical effect of reinforcing healthy qi and dispelling pathogen,cultivating the vital essence.In clinical application,the method of'unblocking governor vessel and nourishing spirit'is used to play the role of heart and brain nourishing spirit and warming and supporting yang qi.The method of'conducting qi back to its source'has the effect of cultivating the vital essence and regulating qi movement.The treatments should be cooperated according to the syndromes,so that the pathogens can be expelled and healthy qi can be settled.Qi and blood have origins of generation and transformation and normally nourishing in the ear,so as to effectively alleviate the patient's tinnitus symptoms.This paper summarizes and analyzes Professor LAI Xin-Sheng's Experience in the diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus by Tongyuan acupuncture method,and provides a new acupuncture treatment plan for clinical application.
