Clinical application experience of repetitive transcranial acupuncture stimulation therapy under the guidance of "the integration of form,qi,and spirit" by National TCM Master SUN Shentian
In his long-term clinical practice and scientific research,National TCM Master,Professor SUN Shentian guided acupuncture based on the theory of "the integration of form,qi,and spirit".He emphasizes that acupuncture should focus on regulating the spirit and calming the mind;sets regulating qi as the basis to soothe the spirit;and uses the whole body as a carrier to make the form and spirit in harmony. Professor SUN believes that the key to the good effect of acupuncture lies in manipulation and the amount of stimulation. Under the guidance of "the integration of form,qi,and spirit",Professor SUN proposed the method of repetitive transcranial acupuncture stimulation(rTAS).He selects Baihui(GV2),Ningshen(Extra),and other emotional areas to regulate the spirit;and selects Shenmen(HT7)and Neiguan(PC7)to regulate the mind and calm the mind.rTAS is applied to various acupoints on the head,so as to accumulate effective stimulation to penetrate the skull and finally reach the diseased area.This article aims to explore the clinical application of rTAS under the guidance of"the integration of form,qi,and spirit"by Professor SUN Shentian,and it illustrates the process with typical cases,so as to bring new treatment ideas and methods to the field of Chinese acupuncture.
