1 What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is the Latin word. Acus means needle and puncture with needle means Acupuncture or Acuate means sharp pointed apparatus by which puncture is done means Acupuncture.

In most of religion Ear Piercing in the centre of lobe is Ceremony on twelfth day after the birth of child. In Auriculo-Acupuncture Eye point is in the centre of lobe, above the eye point there is brain point, It is believed that by piercing ear the health of child is improved, behind this there is scientific reason of ear acupuncture.

In Islam Religion before prey ( Namaz ) each must clean their ear ( Wujoo). In Ear acupuncture there are more than 200 points. Piercing ear in different points, massaging ear, pinching ear, twisting or wringing ear our health is improved.

Nerves end on palm and sole. Clapping 15 minutes daily while praying, motivating players, playing different games, working in kitchen, churning curd with churning staff by hand, grinding chutney or spices on stone slab and grinder by hand, daubing yard or courtyard by hand, draw water from well with rope palms are stimulated. Walking bare foot sole is stimulated. Revolving around temple with bare feet sole is stimulated. Nowadays polished pavements, marble are all over in temples, mashids, churches, so there is no stimulation to our sole and we think that we are not receiving blessings of God.

Now a day female have low backache because they forget to wear silver belt which was used few years ago. Knee pain is common in females because they do work in kitchen by standing.

5 Five Element And Acupuncture In Ayurved there are five elements like Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Space. Like this in Acupuncture Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood.

Page 17: · PDF file1) What is Acupuncture ? 4 . 2) Meridians in Acupuncture. 6 . 3) Effects of Acupuncture. 8 . Units Used in Acupuncture 9 . 4) Classification of Acupuncture points. 11 .

In above diagram there are two types of Cycles. 1. Creative Cycle or Constructive Cycle or Generative Cycle, KO Cycle. 2. Destructive Cycle or SHEN Cycle

Creative Cycle :

In Creative Cycle Fire is fed by Wood, the ashes formed become Earth, Metal is formed in earth, Water springs from Metal ( Fluidity arises from solid state ) and water nourishes trees and which becomes Wood and complete the cycle.

Destructive Cycle :

In destructive cycle Fire melts Metals, Metal cuts Wood, and Wood covers the Earth and Earth dams Water. The five elements are therefore not independent entities but exist in an intimate relation to each element which governs and is governed by another element. In Acupuncture each channel has one element and the same element is for that organ. Each Channel has each element’s point. So above cycles can use in the treatment.

6 Yin And Yang The principle of Yin and Yang is every object has its opposite side, in Chinese Positive

and Negative sides are related with each thing. In Acupuncture each organ and meridians are divided in Yin and Yang.

Yin Yang

Lung Large Intestine Heart Small Intestine Pericardium Triple Warmer Spleen Stomach Kidney Urinary Bladder Liver Gall Bladder

Yin Yang Yin Yang Yin Yang

Female Male Night Day Cold Hot

Valley Hill Moon Sun West East

In Out Dark Light Winter Summer

Water Fire Descending Ascending Colds Hot

Bone Skin Front Back Interior Exterior

Yin and Yang principle body’s functions are balanced. If any principle of yin or yang is imbalanced we get sick. Nothing is completely yin or completely yang. In every yin there is small amount of yang and in every yang there is small amount of yin. This yin and is symbolized by dividing a circle with letter S in two parts Black and White colour. In the White part there is a small black spot show that in yang there is yin and in black part there is a small white spot show that in yang there is small yin.

7 Organ Clock According to Noon-Midnight law (tsu wu) Vital energy (Chi) flows through the twelve

channels in 24 hour cycle. In each channel it is about 2 hours. The table is given below.

Meridian Time Horary Point

Lung 3.00 a.m. to 5.00 a.m. LU-8

Large Intestine 5.00 a.m. to 7.00 a.m. LI-1

Stomach 7.00 a.m. to 9.00 a.m. ST-36

Spleen 9.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. SP-3

Heart 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. H-8

Small Intestine 1.00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m. SI-5

Urinary Bladder 3.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. UB-66

Kidney 5.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. K-10

Pericardium 7.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. P-8

Triple Warmer 9.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m. TW-6

Gall Bladder 11.00 p.m. to 1.00 a.m. GB-41

Liver 1.00 a.m. to 3.00 am LIV-1

From above chart the energy tide enters the Lung Channel at 3.00 a.m. and leaves it to enter the succeeding Large Intestine Channel at 5.00 a.m. The vital energy flows in this manner successively through the twelve Channels till it leaves the Liver Channel and re-enter the Lung Channel at 3.00 a.m. of the following day. This flow of energy in this time sequence is known as “Organ Clock”

Horary Points are used during appropriate period of Organ Clock. When treating with disorder of Lung the Horary Point LU-8 may be used during the period 3.00a.m. to 5.00 a.m. It is not possible to treat within this period we can treat diametrically opposite to it in Organ Clock i.e. Urinary Bladder Channel at 3.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. at the point UB-66.

Horary point is a point on channel which have element of that channel. It is also called Element Point. These points are in fact included among Sixty Command Points.

18 Analysis of Acupuncture Points According to Chinese Image Meaning

Chinese Characters ( Script ) are in the image form. Traditionally the knowledge of Chinese medicine was handeled from father to son or teacher to student. Memorization of skill was required and the point name containing mnemonic symbols aided the retentation of information about the point. The point names or image also contain hidden meanings only known to student of particular master. This way the the point names helped to keep a master’s secrets safe from other practioners and thus protected his income.

With the time and study the points names become more than lables, they become guides to understanding the points and system of medicine that named the point. The inherent ambiguity of the point names lent an air of mystery to the healing arts and aided in preserving the secrets of the masters. In addition the point name revealed important information about the points and imbuled them with poetic spirit that become multitude of valuable associations.

Acupuncture Points are generally analysed as per their Functions, Location, Five Elements , Five Phases, Relation with Yin and Yang, Trlation with Channel.
