Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, a green therapy that is safe and free of toxic side effects, with a wide range of indications. It can be used for the treatment and prevention of various difficult diseases in gynecology, pediatrics, internal medicine, otorhinolaryngology, surgery, and more.
As the only tertiary first-class TCM hospital in the city, Mudanjiang TCM Hospital integrates various TCM acupuncture therapies. Fire needle therapy is one of them, which involves rapidly inserting a needle heated to red-hot into acupuncture points to treat diseases. As early as in the “Ling Shu: Guan Zhen”, it is recorded: “For those who use the fire needle, it is to treat bi syndrome.” The “Shang Han Lun” also discusses the indications and contraindications for fire needle therapy. The “Qian Jin Yi Fang” states, “For treating boils and abscesses, the needle must be extremely hot.”

Acupuncture has numerous benefits and no adverse reactions:
1. Acupuncture can strengthen the body’s righteous qi and expel pathogenic factors, balancing yin and yang, effectively enhancing the body’s own righteous energy. It is particularly suitable for patients with weakened constitutions, especially those whose righteous qi has been damaged and constitution weakened after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
2. Acupuncture can effectively improve constitution, alleviate disease progression, inhibit tumor growth or metastasis, and even reduce tumor size. Acupuncture can help most patients improve symptoms, enhance quality of life, and prolong life.
3. Acupuncture should be integrated throughout the entire process of tumor prevention and treatment, playing a role in preventing tumors, harmonizing yin and yang, balancing the organs, and unblocking the meridians.
In the early stages of many diseases, proactive prevention and treatment interventions are essential. For example: gynecological diseases, prolonged menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea in women in their twenties or thirties, breast nodules, lumps, uterine fibroids, thyroid nodules, and other issues should be treated early upon symptom onset. Do not wait until ovarian failure, breast cancer, or fibroids grow large enough to require a hysterectomy, or until thyroid cancer develops before addressing these issues.
Patients with gastrointestinal diseases may initially experience bloating, acid reflux, and abnormal bowel movements, leading to mucosal erosion and ulcers in the stomach and intestines. If not treated correctly over time, this can evolve into various stomach and intestinal cancers.
Individuals with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, those with spleen and stomach deficiency, yin-yang imbalance, kidney qi deficiency, chronic insomnia, high work stress, irritability, anxiety, tension, and those showing signs of premature aging are part of a sub-healthy population with various hidden health risks.
