4、 Chinese medicine is developed more than five thousands years, acupuncture is the great of cultural legacies of the Chinese nation with a long history. In my opinion, it plays the important role in Chinese Medicine.1. Introduction to acupuncture 3Acupuncture and moxibustion is an external therapy. B
5、y means of needing and moxibustion, it can stimulate the body and activate the regulating functions of the body to improve and rectify the disturbance and dysfunction of certain organs in the body. (Zhao Jingsheng, Li Zhaoguo, Page2)2. The history and development of acupuncture The foundation theory
6、 of acupuncture is Huangdi Neijing. It guides the development of such a unique specialty. (Zhao Jingsheng, Li Zhaoguo, Page 4). In Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao gave a clearly colorful illustration of meridians in his book Golden Prescription. From then on, acupuncture and formed a complete of system gra
7、dually. Not until the 17 century, acupuncture was spread to Europe. Although, acupuncture is very useful to treat much serious disease, it was not accepted by the Western at first. In 1987, Federation of World Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society was established in China. Today, acupuncture has been
8、used in about 100 countries and regions. The science of acupuncture has been developed widely and rapidly in anesthesiology all over the world. The ridiculous thoughts of acupuncture have been eliminated at all. I think acupuncture and moxibustion will have a better tomorrow.43. Advantages of acupun
9、cture Acupuncture has many advantages，that is why it can be accepted by so many people. At first, the tool of treatment is very simple and easy to carry. Using the small needle, acupuncture and moxibustion are easy to do and can be used at anytime and anywhere. For this point, the ancient Chinese do
10、ctor can increase the rate of rescue among emergency patients. Secondly, needles can be used to treat internal, surgical and all kind of disease occurring in the skin, mouth, eyes, nose and so on. Even up to now, acupuncture is effective, including internal, circulation, immune, digestion, neural, u
11、rinary and reproductive systems more than three hundreds disease. Thirdly, acupuncture can reduce the pain of mental and physical quickly. Chemical drugs destroyed our nerves with no restoration on some surgery. It effects quicker than other chemical medicine and has no bad influence on our bodies.
12、That is why the acupuncture anesthesia has so many good comments at home and abroad. 4. Treating of Acupuncture Acupuncturist is treating a disease or relieving pain by inserting metal needles at certain points of human body. The certain points of 5body, we call them meridians. At the time of a need
13、le inserting at meridians, we will have a feeling just like a mosquito bite. With the time flowing, patients may feel sore, numb, warm and swelling. Normally, it takes 20 or 30 minutes to have an acupuncture treatment on an average, but this depends on the sensitivity and condition of the patient bo
14、dy. According to the severity of disease and condition of body, acupuncturist will choose the different meridians, use the different numbers of mental needles and control the time of treating. For short-lived problems, it only needs a few times of acupuncture treatment.5. Prescriptions for chronic n
15、asal sinusitisFrom some traditional Chinese medicine books, I find some prescriptions for chronic nasal sinusitis. For many people have this problem, I want to share the best method to cure such illness. The master meridians of controlling this disease are Hegu, Yingxiang, Quanliao and Cuanzhu. Quan
16、liao is a meridian which we touch frequently when we do eyes exercise. It is located directly below the outer canthus, in the depression on the lower border of zygoma. If you want to find Hegu, you just find the junction of your thumb and index finger. Yingxiang is located in the nasolabial groove a
17、nd at the level of the midpoint of the lateral border of nose. Cuanzhu is located at the tip 6of your right eyebrow. They are all easy to find for you. If you have no mental needles, you also can use your fingertip to press your meridians. The effects on your body would be better than you thought. B
18、ut it will only happen when you press the right meridians. ( Editor-in-chiefZong Chongyang; Compiler-in-chief Yang Zhenguo，Page 9 ) According to the body conditions of personal, the professional acupuncturist will add some other acuptions and use different needle inserting ways. Usually, many illnes
19、ses about nose are closely related to the lung. We can eat some kinds of food which are good for lung. (Zuo Yangfu, Page 3) As we all know, many chronic nasal sinusitis happening for weather changes, bathing nose with cold water and cold air can enhance the nasal adaptive capacity of weather changes
20、 and prevent common cold and other disease of respiratory tract. (Zuo Yanfu, Page 256) In addition, people should cultivate the good habit of blowing the nose. The right way of blowing is holding the nose between the thumb and index finger to discharge the nasal mucus forcefully. Do not press one si
21、de to blow the nose. It may make the nasal discharge in the nasal cavity of the other side inspired into the body. (Zuo Yanfu, Page258) The person who likes smoking and has the chronic nasal sinusitis need to far away from cigarette. If you want to give smoking up, acupuncture and moxibustion also i
22、s a good choice. 76. ConclusionKnown some small and simple meridians will take convenient to you life and work when you want to relax and protect yourself. “If you read some books of acupuncture and moxibustion, you will find more interesting things in it. In the future, the scientific, safe and eff
23、ective use of traditional medicine, especially use of acupuncture will certainly promote the development of medicine and will make more contributions to human health in 21st century.” Zhang Xiaoming said.【reference】：1.
