Treating Diabetes with Massage

Chinese medicine treatment of diabetes is very rich in methods, including decoction, acupuncture and moxibustion is now more commonly used clinical methods of Chinese medicine. However, it is difficult for the existing Chinese doctors to understand the dialectical and pathogenesis of diabetes to guide the clinical application of massage, because it is difficult to achieve the effect of nourishing yin and tonic by using massage techniques. Therefore, Prof. Fu Fuke uses Chinese medicine specimens as the basis for dialectical diagnosis. He draws on Western medicine's knowledge of diabetes as a small method and summarizes a set of methods for treating diabetes.

Consolidation of Chinese and Western specimens

The standard and the present are the treatment theories that are used to analyze the primary and secondary contradictions of the syndromes and to resolve the main contradictions when treating the diseases. Standard, that is, the phenomenon; this, is the essence. The development of diseases, especially complex diseases, is often contradictory. Therefore, in the treatment of the need to use specimen theory to analyze the primary and secondary contradictions, the urgency of the specimen, to facilitate timely and reasonable treatment of disease.

In the case of diabetes, it is marked by elevated blood glucose, which is an absolute or relative deficiency of insulin. The author uses this knowledge to guide the clinical massage method for the treatment of diabetes: targeting it to lower blood sugar, aimed at restoring the function of the pancreas; making many patients with diabetes have a tendency to restore the pancreas function, long-term use of insulin and oral drop Patients with sugars whose blood glucose levels are still uncontrollable are treated with massage and the drugs used are gradually decremented.

Theoretical exploration Guide clinical

1. For its target, lower blood sugar

The first is to activate the muscle's insulin receptor. Western medicine studies have shown that one of the main causes of type 2 diabetes is the low energy state of the peripheral insulin receptor, so that blood glucose cannot be converted to muscle glycogen in the muscle and is consumed, so some patients have fatigue, weakness and other symptoms. The massage of massage can relax the muscle insulin receptor just by relaxing. At the same time, through the use of kneading, dialing, pushing, holding, and pats, etc., to relax the muscles in the body where the muscles are abundant, the blood's blood filling volume can reach 5 to 10 times of the tension, effectively converting the blood sugar into muscle sugar. Reduce the purpose of blood sugar.

Followed by the transfer of intestinal fistula. Chinese massage techniques such as rubbing the abdomen, rubbing the abdomen, and shaking the abdomen require the practitioner to feel that there is a feeling of heat in the abdomen. From Western medicine theory, these methods can increase the blood flow of the mesentery to promote mesenteric metabolism, which consumes a lot of blood sugar.

2. cure the disease and activate the pancreas function

The pancreatic abdomen projection area of ​​the pancreas has been said to have existed for a long time. However, its use has not been very satisfactory. Now, the clinical application of this theory is more of a scalp acupuncture. The author was inspired by this, the clinical practice of the pancreas abdomen projection area is set in the left and right Liangmen, Zhongyao as the center of the area, and combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment Xiaoke to adjust the focus of the idea, through the pan-abdomen projection area, with massage Manipulation activates pancreas function.

According to the internal organs of the pancreas, the internal organs of the bladder have acupoints on the first lateral line. After many years of clinical practice, the author found out that the pancreas is located on the side of the thoracic spine and opened 1.5 inches. By pressing the pancreas, the function of the pancreas is activated. .

After many years of theoretical exploration and clinical practice, the author summarized a set of massage techniques for treating diabetes. The patient takes a prone position. The healer uses the kneading method 3~5 times along the erector spinae, and pushes the erector spinae muscle 3~5 times using the push method. The erector spinae muscle is struck from top to bottom 2~3 times; click the pancreatic shu point. Use force to produce phlegm sensation, click 30 seconds at a time, and press 2 or 3 times. The patient will then take a supine position, kneading the abdomen, rubbing the abdomen or shaking her abdomen clockwise or counter-clockwise until the patient feels a thermal sensation in the abdomen; then slowly moving towards the middle and right beam door with the left hip beam as the center. , Then use the middle finger to slam the left beam door, the middle beam, and the right beam door. The sniper strength should be deep to the midpoint of the front and rear abdominal wall. Each acupuncture point should be tapped 7 times. The above two methods are repeated 5 times.
