[中医药与针灸有助调整时差引起的失眠吗?][
How does TCM help for sleeping disorder caused by jet lag? ]
临床接诊出国旅游回来出现因时差引起的失眠患者,本人极度推荐针灸头皮针,配合内服调整阴阳失衡的中成药,十之八九皆有疗效。中医认为疾病产生的原因多样化,如六淫(风寒暑湿燥火)、七情致病等,然究其根本就是“阴阳的相对平衡遭到破坏”,从而出现了偏盛或偏衰的结果。就像地球气候暖化,引发尼泊尔西藏吉隆口岸的冰川融化崩塌与洪灾,以及全球多国出现的反常燥热天气(厄尔尼诺现象)。
中医认为,人体是一个灵活而协调的有机整体,经络系统把人体的生命活动紧密联系,在功能上相互协调、促进,并相互为用。以五脏为中心的经络系统,把五脏六腑、五官七窍、四肢百骸等全身组织器官有机地联系起来,构成了一个表里相连、上下沟通、协调共济、井然有序的统一整体。
针灸如何改善时差引起的失眠呢?对治失眠,我一般会运用针灸头部的穴位,如百会、安眠穴、风池等穴位,通过经络的传导作用,激发人体内部器官之间的相互协调,使阴阳达到相对平衡的状态,最终达到扶正祛邪、治愈疾病的目的。现代医学研究认为,针刺风池穴可以调节大脑中枢神经的兴奋和抑制过程,又能显著地扩张基底动脉、使血供量增加,血压得以平衡,有助于改善睡眠。
针刺健康人的失眠、风池穴,可使血液中的氢化皮质素、17-皮质类固醇显著增加,组胺含量亦随之上升。此外,针刺对副交感神经-胰岛素系统也有双向调节作用,功能亢进的有抑制作用,功能低下的能增强其功能。在病理状态下,比如失眠,针刺风池穴能够调节大脑皮质的兴奋与抑制过程,使之恢复正常的生理平衡。有学者研究认为,针刺健侧率谷穴治疗脑中风,可使大脑皮质的运动区、感觉区的血管扩张,血流增加,同时使神经组织兴奋性增强,功能进一步恢复。
在防病保健方面,人体的穴位如同中草药一样,功效各异,主治不同,如关元、气海穴像黄芪、党参一样,具有补益元气之功;曲池、大椎穴如同板蓝根、柴胡一样,具有疏风解表、清热解毒之效;足三里、三阴交如同白术、甘草一般,具有健脾燥湿,安中和胃的作用。有学者给一百位健康人士针刺足三里、合谷穴等,并观察白细胞对金黄色葡萄球菌的吞噬能力,结果由48.16%上升至71.25%,而对照组无明显改变。在临床治疗中,需根据个别病人体质的阴阳虚实及气血盛衰而逐一辨证加减配穴。换句话说,运用针灸外治,配合内服中药,将有助事半功倍地改善并治愈多种病证,也能更好地防病保健,维护体内的阴阳平衡。
Sleeping disorder caused by jet lag is a reflection of the internal balance of body yin and yang being disrupted. Meanwhile, the earth yin and yang are being upset. As we read about the massive flood triggered by melting of glacier occurred in Nepal/Tibet lately, which is being speculated relevant to global warming and El-nino effect.
TCM finds that the human body is an organic structure being connected by meridiens’ system biologically and functionally. The internal organs, all the body parts and joints are closely connected as well. Why do I recommend acupuncture cm TCM medicines for treatment of sleeping disorder triggered by jet lag? Research by modern medicines found that acupuncture at specific meridien points on the head and scalp area, will help to regulate CNS (Central Nervous System) functions, via dilatation of basilar artery, increase blood supply, stabilize blood pressure, thereby help to improve sleep pattern.
For health maintenance and prevention of diseases, the meridien points work synergistically like traditional Chinese medicines. For example, Guan yuan and Qi hai works like Astragalus membranaceus and Codonopsis radix to boost Qi level, Zu san li and San yin jiao works like Atractylodes Macrocephalae Rhizome and Licorice in strengthening spleen function and expel dampness.
In a nutshell, in view of different individual body foundation and fitness level, the TCM practitioner need to verify and diagnose properly before deciding which meridien points and associated acupuncture area to achieve better treatment effects. Taking relevant TCM prescription alongside with acupuncture will help to enhance the effectiveness in regulation of Qi and blood, as well as preserving the balance of Yin and Yang.
