Dr Zhang could you
please explain roughly
what part this current
acupuncture is targeting
How should I put
it It's fine just say whatever comes to
mind Whatever you feel just
say it Because of the stroke
stroke patient
I went to get
my teeth cleaned
Just look at them
—they're taking
medication and soap dissolves
more slowly now in Taiwan
you can use this scalp needle
The sooner you start treatment for
stroke aftereffects
the better Of course
the fastest results are
best How long has it been since the stroke One year
That's relatively
slow so recovery takes
longer Generally speaking the golden
period is within three months Come
in now and you'll
get the best results
So if six
months pass the needle's recovery will
be slower and the needle'
s recovery will be slower
The area we're pointing
to now is the Baihui point which
is located between Baihui and Qianting marking the sensory
zone where the sensory and
motor areas meet
—this is where
movement originates allowing the legs and hands to move
You're the type who
sticks to the needle—
right it's about moving
the needle the gum
membrane is something you practice you
practice the gum membrane what about you I use
Vacuum method
pulling
using a flat tool
Use your hand
Four is all you need for flat ones
Four is enough
No need to
wipe Still need to wipe here
It's really strong
Will it hurt a lot
It will yes
So this is good there's hope
If it doesn't hurt then it's not working
I'm in the U S
It's strange in the U S
How come
He doesn't like taking medicine
Of course
The medicine has side
effects Yes
He just doesn't like eating
The specialist comes once
a week—twice is enough
Not at all—regarding
the air extraction
condition it's
better to do it daily
the more frequent the
better Also concerning Heilongjiang
University of
Traditional Chinese Medicine they
have a guideline
stating that taking it
once a day yields
better results than
taking it every other
day Air extraction
Exhaling time
Always pressing the same acupoint
It's also this acupoint
What is this acupoint
Zhushan pear
Yanglin County
Danlan Point
This is
Peak Dragon
Chao Kou
Peak Dragon is here
Why wipe the
Danlan Cave
Danlan Cave
Why choose this acupoint
You can rub right here
Otherwise it would hurt more
The main purpose of
seeing a doctor for
moxibustion is to
determine its effect as
moxibustion uses
mugwort to generate heat
which is then transmitted through
acupoints
Works better
Each
Do all individuals experiencing
symptoms undergo
moxibustion Taipei City
In Taipei homes can't do
moxibustion because their
residences are all high-
rises and if too many people
use moxibustion the entire
building would be filled with the smell of
mugwort making it unbearable
It will be very cold there It
will be cold
The police will
come relatively soon
It's too hot today
we in Taipei
Taipei about every three to four months
I just saw that it
whether cold or hot adding one more
doesn't matter at all
adding more actually works better
they've always added extra before when upgrading
They’ve all been reworked if
not reworked
the effect would
be less This time
it’s increased
next time it might not be
Thank you
