Acupuncture
is a technique of
inserting and manipulating filiform needles into "acupuncture points" on
the body to unblock chi and balance the opposing forces of yin and yang.

veins in the temples) are typically treated with analgesics such
as aspirin and/or by the use of agents such as niacin that dilate the
affected blood vessels in the scalp, but in acupuncture a common
treatment for such headaches is to stimulate the sensitive points that
are located roughly in the center of the webs between the thumbs and
the palms of the patient, the hé gǔ points. These points are described
by acupuncture theory as "targeting the face and head" and are
considered to be the most important point when treating disorders
affecting the face and head.
The patient reclines, and the points on each hand are first sterilized
with alcohol, and then thin, disposable needles are inserted to a
depth of approximately 3-5 mm until a characteristic "twinge" is felt
by the patient, often accompanied by a slight twitching of the area
between the thumb and hand. Most patients report a pleasurable
"tingling" sensation and feeling of relaxation while the needles are
in place. The needles are retained for 15-20 minutes while the patient
rests, and then are removed.
In
the clinical practice of acupuncturists, patients frequently report
one or more of certain kinds of sensation that are associated with
this treatment, sensations that are stronger than those that would be
felt by a patient not suffering from a vascular headache:
Extreme sensitivity to pain at the points in the webs of the thumbs.
In bad headaches, a feeling of nausea that persists for roughly the
same period as the stimulation being administered to the webs of the
thumbs.
Simultaneous relief of the headache. |
