It wa
12、s developed long ago, perhaps as early as 2000 BC. There is evidence that acupuncture began during the Stone Age, when stone tools called bian (砭) were used to press areas of the body.As acupuncture developed, the simple bian stones were replaced by stone needles. Eventually, metal needles began to
13、appear and took their place. There were nine different kinds of needles. These included a needle with a head like an arrow, used for making shallow holes in the surface of the skin; a needle with a round tip, used for pressing the tissue under the skin; a dull needle, used for tapping against pressu
14、re points; and a needle like a small sword, used for letting liquid out of body parts which had swollen up. These needles could be made of different metals, such as gold and silver. Some acupuncturists today still use gold and silver needles, but the majority use only stainless steel ones. The main
15、needle now used for acupuncture is fine and sharp. Most of the others have been replaced by more complex medical instruments. For example, the needle looking like a sword has been replaced by a sharp knife that doctors use in operations.Acupuncture uses stainless steel needles that are put into the
16、skin at certain points on the body so that a disease can be cured or a health problem solved. These points are called acupuncture points. When acupuncture was first practised, there were 365 such points. The number of acupuncture points was the same as the number of days in a year. However, over the
17、 last 2,000 years, this number has gradually increased to about 2,000. Some acupuncturists insert needles at or near the body part affected by the disease, while others select points according to the symptoms that the patient has.If you go to an acupuncturist, he or she will ask you questions about
18、your medical history and your way of life. The acupuncturist will look at the colour of your skin and your tongue, listen to your breathing, and check your pulses. Western medicine only recognizes one pulse which indicates the heartbeat. However, according to traditional Chinese medicine, there are
19、twelve different pulses, six on each wrist, and every one of them is connected with a major body organ or its function. By checking all the pulses, the acupuncturist can find out which energy channel does not have enough energy.Some of the medical problems that can be treated by acupuncture include
20、severe pains, headaches, injuries, stomach problems and high blood pressure. Some people have also used acupuncture to treat smokers, alcoholics and people who are addicted to drugs.How acupuncture reduces pain is not clear. One theory explaining this phenomenon suggests that acupuncture blocks pain
21、 signals from reaching the brain. Another theory relates acupuncture to the production of chemicals in the body which reduce pain. A lot of people now subscribe to these theories.As a unique contribution of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture spread to many other Asian countries, such as Japan
22、, as early as the 6th century. It was introduced to the West in the 17th century. Today acupuncture has become popular round the world, as have other traditional Chinese medicines. The World Health Organization recommends acupuncture as a good treatment for over forty medical problems. While doubts
23、about its safety have faded away, interest continues to grow.神针:中医针刺疗法“神针”艺术,或称针刺疗法,是最有名的中医疗法之一。针刺疗法始于很久以前,也许早到公元前2000年。有证据表明,针刺疗法始于石器时代,那时一种叫“砭”的石器被用来按压身体部位。随着针刺疗法的发展,简易的“砭石”被石针所代替。后来,金属针的出现取代了石针。有九种不同的针。这些针包括用于切割皮肤表面的箭头针、用于按压皮下组织的圆针、用于敲打的提针、让液体从脓肿部位流出的剑头针。这些针可能由金或银等不同金属制成。现在一些针疗医师仍然使用金针或银针,但大部分医生只
24、使用不锈钢针。如今,用于针刺疗法的主针很细很锋利。而其他大多数的针已被更为复杂的外科医疗器械所代替。例如,剑头针已被医生在手术时所使用的锋利的手术刀所取代。针刺疗法是把不锈钢针扎进身体的特定部位,从而使疾病得以治愈或使健康问题得到解决。这些穴位称为针刺疗法穴位。针刺疗法最初使用时有365个这样的穴位,其数量和一年的天数相同。然而,在过去的2 000年中,针刺疗法的穴位逐渐增长到2 000个。一些针疗医师在病灶处或病灶附近扎针,而另外一些则根据病人的病症选择扎针的位置。假如你去看针疗医师,他们会询问你的病史和生活方式,查看你的肤色和舌头,听你的呼吸,并为你切脉。西医只检查一种显示心跳的脉搏。但是
25、按照中医的观点,有12种不同的脉搏,每个手腕上分布六个。每个脉搏都和身体的一个主要器官或器官功能有联系。通过检查这些脉搏,针疗医师就能够了解哪条经络乏力。可通过针刺疗法来处理的一些医学问题包括剧痛、头痛、伤痛以及胃和高血压方面的疾病。有些人也用针刺疗法来治疗吸烟者、酗酒者以及吸毒者。针刺疗法如何减轻病痛的原理目前尚不清楚。有一种解释这一现象的理论认为,针刺疗法使疼痛信号无法到达大脑。另外一种理论将针刺疗法和人体内减痛化学物质的产生联系起来。现在很多人认同这些理论。作为中医的独特贡献,针刺疗法已经流传到许多其他的亚洲国家,比如早在6世纪就传到了日本。17世纪针刺疗法被引入西方。如今针刺疗法已和中
26、草药一样受到全世界的欢迎。世界卫生组织推荐针刺疗法可以用于40多种疾病的治疗。随着对针刺疗法安全性的疑虑消退,对针刺疗法的兴趣在持续增长。1(教材P30). a needle like a small sword, used for letting liquid out of body parts which had swollen up.形似小剑的针,用于将液体从身体的肿胀部位导出。let out(1)发出(喊叫等)She let out a scream when seeing the spider.看到蜘蛛时她发出尖叫。(2)放出;泄露You betrayed me.
