Abstract:
This article introduces Professor SUN Hua's clinical experience of acupuncture for treating subjective tinnitus. Professor SUN advocates combining meridian differentiation, syndrome differentiation, and disease differentiation in clinical practice. For excess syndrome of subjective tinnitus, acupuncture aims to unblock the shaoyang meridian and regulate qi and blood. For deficiency syndrome, the focus is on tonifying the yin and essence of liver and kidney. Emphasizing the importance of calming the shen (mind), Professor SUN employs a three-pronged approach: using the "four shen regulating needles" to calm the mind, the Siguan points (Hegu [LI 4] and Taichong [LR 3]) to regulate qi movement of the internal organs, and Shenmai (BL 62) and Zhaohai (KI 6) to balance yin and yang, treating both the physical and psychological aspects to effectively alleviate tinnitus.
