Is acupuncture harmful to health? What should I pay attention to when doing acupuncture?

Acupuncture is one of the treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine, which is to determine the acupuncture points according to different causes before applying needles. Acupuncture does no harm to the body, but to ensure the curative effect of acupuncture, there are many taboos besides the skill of the needle user, which may not be clear to everyone. Acupuncture according to the course of treatment can maximize the therapeutic effect. What else should we pay attention to when this can be guaranteed? Let me talk about it.

1, relax

When the needle is inserted into the body, because it is inserted slowly, the needle tip will stimulate the nerve endings of the skin and make people feel pain. Don't be too nervous at this time, especially those who are acupuncture for the first time, which is not conducive to doctors to find the right acupuncture points and apply acupuncture treatment. After acupuncture into the skin, patients will feel swelling and pain, and some acupoints will feel electric shock. If this person is afraid of pain and easily confuses subjective and objective pain, it is best not to acupuncture.

2. Relax your body

Before acupuncture, patients can adopt a more comfortable position, which is convenient for doctors to apply needles. After the injection, people will easily get tired and even fall asleep. During the needle retention period, patients should not change their body position at will, which may easily lead to unexpected skin injury, needle breakage and other adverse consequences. During acupuncture, the skin will feel slightly uncomfortable. Take it easy. Usually this kind of situation will disappear by itself within a few hours.

3. Preventive measures

You can't do acupuncture when your body is hungry. Patients with skin ulcer infection should not receive acupuncture treatment. Although acupuncture has a wide range of functions, it is not suitable for every disease. Some diseases need to be treated according to the condition in order to give full play to the therapeutic effect of acupuncture.
