How effective is acupuncture in treating acne?

Adolescents will inevitably be troubled by acne because of metabolic reasons. The body's heat is high during adolescence, so acne will occur. Many friends will also choose some methods of treatment. Of course, there are many treatment methods, but there are very few thorough treatment methods. So how effective is traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture in treating acne? We can learn more about it, because traditional Chinese medicine is also an effective method we often use to treat diseases. Usually we can choose according to our skin type.

There are many causes of acne. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most of them are caused by improper diet, damage to the spleen and stomach, stagnation of heat in the lungs and stomach, and steaming up to the face. Most of the symptoms are positive. It is also related to the patient's mood. If the patient is in a bad mood for a long time, the heat and toxic evil will take advantage of the opportunity to enter the body, lodge between the skin and muscles, or flow through the meridians, resulting in obstruction of the qi and blood vessels. The stagnation will turn into pus over time and cause abscesses. Traditional Chinese medicine uses the method of pricking the Dazhui point and letting blood to treat the disease. The method is simple and has a very rapid effect.

Treatment

The patient sits upright with the head and neck slightly tilted forward so that the Dazhui point on the neck is fully exposed. Use iodine to disinfect the patient's Dazhui point, use a disposable syringe needle to quickly prick the Dazhui point, usually 3 to 5 times, with a medium depth, then quickly apply a cupping jar to bleed the Dazhui point, with a bloodletting volume of about 3 to 5 ml, twice a week, and 8 times as a course of treatment.

According to the principle of purging the excess, the three-edged needle pricking and bloodletting therapy was adopted. The Du meridian is the sea of ​​the Yang meridians and governs all the Yang meridians in the body. The Yang meridians are often accumulated with heat and toxic evil. Dazhui and Du meridian points are the meeting points of the three yang meridians of the hand and the Du meridian, and are known as the meeting point of all yang meridians. Bleeding at the Dazhui point can relieve heat from the lungs and stomach, and has the effects of regulating the flow of Qi, relieving heat and dispersing stagnation, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Acupuncture treatment has certain effects, but they are not obvious, and most people cannot accept this treatment. In addition, you should know that acne is also called acne. It is mainly caused by the increase of male hormone levels in the body, which leads to increased sebum secretion by the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles, which clogs the pores and then causes inflammation caused by infections such as Propionibacterium acnes.

The above is about the effect of Chinese medicine acupuncture in treating acne. Generally speaking, there are no major problems. Acupuncture is also a common method for treating acne. Of course, some people will see more obvious effects, while others will not. We need to carry out drug treatment on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine treatment and use massage therapy in combination.
