How long is acupuncture?

There is no fixed standard for the time of acupuncture and moxibustion, based on the onset of effect, and the effect must be obtained, for example, some people use fast needles to go to ** diseases, and the effect is also very good. Normally, you need to leave the needle in, and the time for leaving the needle is about 20 minutes. For special diseases, such as for false syndrome or painful diseases, the needle retention time can be appropriately extended, such as 30-40 minutes, mainly considering that the patient can not move when the needle is pricked, as soon as he moves, the needle will bend, maintain the posture for a long time, muscle fatigue will occur, and the muscles may be stiff when lying down, which will affect the efficacy.

So conventionally 20-25 minutes is enough, 15 minutes is fine, the key is to see the effect.

How long is the best time for acupuncture needs to be analyzed according to different conditions, and it cannot be generalized.

Generally, the time of acupuncture should be selected according to different diseases, if the acupuncture time is too short, it will lead to ** can not achieve the effect, if the acupuncture time is too long, the patient will have weakness. If it is a substantial disease such as high fever, acupuncture should be avoided for too long, and it is recommended to choose short-term acupuncture or fast acupuncture; If it is a deficiency and cold disease, the recommended acupuncture** time is 30-60 minutes; If it is a disease such as paralysis, the acupuncture** time can be extended, and even the needle can be left for a few hours. However, acupuncture is not recommended for patients with bleeding disorders or bleeding tendencies.

In addition, after acupuncture, it is necessary to pay attention to keeping warm, and do not immediately take a bath, blow the air conditioner, blow the fan, or eat cold food, so as to avoid the cold evil from invading the body.

Regarding the acute phase of some diseases, such as the onset of acute lumbar sprain, acupuncture is generally done once a day, and the disease will be stopped. For some chronic diseases, as well as sub-health conditioning, you can choose acupuncture once a day for 10 to 12 consecutive days, then rest for 3 to 5 days, continue the next course of treatment, or stop. You can also choose to do acupuncture 3 to 5 times a week for 2 to 3 weeks.

In short, how often acupuncture is best depends on the patient's condition, constitution, and specific situation.

Generally speaking, the time required for acupuncture is about 15 minutes. Acupuncture not only has the role of health care, but also is mainly used for diseases, according to the different diseases of each patient, different physical conditions, and different acupuncture points, the time of each acupuncture is also different.

Under normal circumstances, the retention time of acupuncture is about 15 minutes. In some patients, the course of the disease is longer and the condition is more severe, such as the migration of the pain site, pain combined with numbness or stiffness, etc., electroacupuncture** can be used. Electroacupuncture** takes at least 20 minutes, if you need moxibustion after electroacupuncture, it will be extended by another 15 to 20 minutes, and you may also need to cooperate with cupping, ** the time is longer.

In patients with severe pain, if a laser is required, the time to synthesize is longer. For milder patients, ** time is sufficient for 15-20 minutes.

Acupuncture** advantages:

First, it has a wide range of indications, which can be used for the prevention and prevention of a variety of diseases in the departments of internal, external, gynecology, pediatrics, and five senses;

Second, the effect of the disease is relatively rapid and significant, especially with good stimulation of physical functions, improving disease resistance and sedation, analgesia and other effects;

Third, the operation method is simple and easy;

Fourth, the cost of medical care is economical;

Fifth, there is no or very little ***, which is basically safe and reliable, and can be integrated with others.

Precautions. 1. Those who are too tired, highly nervous, or hungry should not be acupuncture; Acupuncture for the elderly and infirm should be in the lying position as much as possible, with fewer acupoints and light techniques.

2 Acupuncture should not be too strong in pregnant women, and acupuncture is prohibited in the abdomen, lumbosacral region and acupuncture points that can cause uterine contractions, such as Hegu, Sanyinjiao, Kunlun, Zhiyin, etc.

3 Children generally do not leave needles due to lack of cooperation. Needles are forbidden in infants and young children's fontanelles, wind mansions, and dumb door acupoints.

4. Patients with bleeding disorders, or those who often have spontaneous bleeding and are not easy to stop bleeding after injury, should not be acupuncture.

5 **Infection, ulcers, scars, and tumor sites are not acupuncture.

6. Acupuncture in the eye area, chest and back, kidney area, neck, abdomen of patients with gastric ulcer, intestinal adhesion and intestinal obstruction, and pubic symphysis area of patients with urinary retention should be allowed to grasp the depth and angle, and direct puncture should be prohibited to prevent accidental injury to important organs.

7 Acupuncture does have an excellent effect on some diseases, but it is not a panacea, especially for some acute and serious diseases**, and comprehensive ** should be used in time according to the situation, so as to be more beneficial to the patient and give full play to the role of acupuncture.

In short, in the whole process, the doctor is serious and responsible for the patient, serious and careful, and concentrated, which are important links in the prevention of accidents.

Hello! Moxibustion is also a slow job, take your time, I used to rub a cone-shaped hill with wormwood, about a centimeter high. Put it on the acupuncture point, ignite it from the tip to the bottom and burn it slowly, and burn it once.

It works great, but sometimes you accidentally burn yourself. I used to cut wormwood in the wild by myself. Come back to dry and rub yourself.

Now there are special moxibustion sticks, but I personally think the effect is not so good.

If the physical pain is not so severe, do it once every two or three days.

If it's severe, you can do it every day.

Precautions: Find your degree and don't get too close to avoid burns.

To enhance the effect, you can apply a slice of garlic to the affected area. This is all measured by myself.

Once a day, that's it. It depends on the condition. Generally, acupuncture retains the needle for about 20 minutes, and the same is true for electroacupuncture.

In the case of moxibustion, it depends on the condition. It's usually half an hour. You can also opt for warm acupuncture.

There are also ear acupuncture in acupuncture. That can leave the needle in place for a day to a few days, or for hours.

Because each person's illness is different, the physique is different, and the time is also different, the needle time depends on the doctor to decide, and the needle retention time is generally about 15-20 minutes.

The doctor will determine on a case-by-case basis! Generally, once a day or once every other day is enough, five to seven times for a course of treatment, and more than three courses of treatment in a row.

Acupuncture is like taking medicine, it is a kind of method. Take the drug once a day, twice a day, and many times a day, because the drug must have a certain concentration of drug to produce efficacy in the body, which is the main reason for determining the number of times to take the drug;

Another point is to depend on the severity of the disease, the amount and frequency of light medication can be reduced, and the heavy one should be relatively increased. The same is true for acupuncture, the number of acupuncture sessions is chosen according to the severity of the condition.

Generally speaking, if the condition is mild, it can be once a day, and if time does not allow, it can also be once every two days and once every three days;

Studies have shown that acupuncture can maintain the effect for 72 hours once, and if it is only for the recovery period after the disease, it can also be twice a week, or even once a week; If the disease is severe, it may be necessary to have the needle several times a day, and some need to keep the needle for 24 hours.

Health care injections, what is suitable for health care injections.

First of all, look at the acupuncture points. The time for leaving the needle at different acupuncture points is also different. Moreover, the angle and strength of acupuncture are also different.

Acupuncture is also something that cannot be done regularly. It's like taking medicine. After the acupuncture resistance is developed, the effect of acupuncture is not obvious.

In ancient books, it is said that it is advisable to get a needle, and now it is more than half an hour to go to the hospital**.

Different diseases, different situations.

There is no specific one, it depends on the disease.
