How does it work?

The ancient Chinese have long acknowledged the effects of the four seasons on health.  In the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a saying: “winter illnesses treated in summer.”  As the words imply, it means that winter illnesses are treated during the summer season.  “Winter illnesses" refer to some of the diseases exacerbated by the cold winter, such as chronic bronchitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis.  The second part of the phrase, “treated in summer,” means treating the human meridian points with medicinal herb patches during the summer time when winter illnesses are easily dissipated or relieved.  This method increases positive energy, enhancing the immune system in the patient. This treatment protocol is termed “Acupoint Herbal Treatment”.


  When is the best time for treatment?         

  Timing is everything, and with summer time approaching, this is the perfect time for the Acupoint Herbal Treatment (AHT).  The hottest summer days for this year are from July 14th to September 1st .  During these days, body Yang energy reaches its peak; the skin pores will open maximally and allow the entire body meridian to flow in rhythm.  This will enhance optimum herbal saturation and absorption. 

            In the AHT protocol, herbs are placed on selected points on the body until the skin turns red or in the rare case a painless blister is formed.  AHT protocol can increase the functions of immune system and decrease the flare-ups for patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis in winter time.  The indications of AHT protocol include: Allergic diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, chronic cough, and a weak immune system.  Other conditions include stomachache, diarrhea, arthritis, and low back pain.

What are the cautions about the treatment?

            Although AHT is a simple procedure, patients who are allergic to medications and suffering from infections are not candidates for this treatment.  Pregnant women and infants also are not ideal patients for this protocol.  In order to maximize healing potential, on the date of the treatment patients are to avoid cold or spicy foods, cold showers, cigarettes and alcohol.  The entire treatment time is between 45 min -1 hour for children and 1-2 hours for adults.

How effective of the treatment?

            The method is safe, easy and effective. Multiple scientific researches have concluded that AHT protocol has a good preventing and treating effect on bronchitis and asthma.  The total effective rate is proven to be over 80%, provided that patients follow the program designed by their doctors.


傳統三伏天灸療

傳統三伏天灸療是一種配合節氣的中醫傳統治療方法。三伏天是指一年中最炎熱、陽氣最旺的日子,在這幾天接受特定穴位溫經通絡、逐痰祛寒的藥物敷貼療法,可以溫肺化痰、溫補脾腎,增強抵抗力,達到治療及預防疾病的效果。

  傳統醫學以天人相應的觀點,認為「春夏養陽,秋冬養陰」是預防醫學的重點。有些過敏性疾病,例如氣喘、過敏性鼻炎等,都是在冬天加劇、夏天緩解﹔如果能夠在緩解期善加調養,便能夠提昇身體的免疫機能,減緩疾病在冬天發作程度,這便是「冬病夏治」的原理。

  三伏天灸的治療,應連續三年為之,對於長期吃藥有恐懼感的小朋友,三伏貼是一種簡便有效的治療方式。根據統計,病患接受治療後,過敏情形會有一定程度的減輕,效果約有八成,當然除了三伏貼治療之外,如能配合其它適當的治療,更能徹底的改善過敏體質。

  三伏貼雖是簡易做法,適合過敏性呼吸疾病、皮膚病、關節炎等疾患,但是對藥物過敏、感冒、感染、孕婦及三歲以內的嬰兒仍不適宜接受這種治療。敷貼的時間約1-2 小時,療程期間應避免吃生冷或辛辣食物,敷貼以后最好等4小時后再洗澡,宜溫水澡﹔敷貼当天也要忌煙酒,蝦蟹等會引起過敏食物,才可以達到最好療效。

         本醫療中心門診天灸敷藥時間是從7月14日到9月1日。請把握這些天,是預防及治療的最好時機,好好的調養您的身體。
