Ang Akupuntura para sa Tinga (Tinga)

Tinga ay isang karaniwang surgical emergency, karaniwang nangyayari sa mukha at daliri. Dahil sa unang anyo na maliit pero malalim, base na parang tapis, kaya't tinawag itong tinga.
[Cause and Pathogenesis]
Madalas dulot ng hindi malinis na balat, sugat mula sa bakal o kahoy, at maling pagpapalabas ng pus o pagpindot, na nagdudulot ng pagpasok ng fire toxin at pagsama-sama ng apoy sa balat; o dahil sa sobraang pagkain ng mataba at alak, na nagdudulot ng labis na kaliskis sa loob, na nagdudulot ng labis na toxins na lumalabas sa loob. Kung ang toxin ay masyado, maaaring lumabas sa mga ugat at makaapekto sa loob ng katawan—isan siyang peligroso.
[Diagnosis]
Unang sintomas ay parang butil, kulay kuning o pulang pula, o may bubol na puno ng pus, base na matigas, nararamdaman ang kakaiba at maagang paninigas, sumunod na mabilis na pumupula, mainit, at lumalala ang sakit, kasama ang lamig at pagkaawa. Kung makita ang mataas na temperatura, restlessness, dizziness, pagtatae, at pagkawala ng kamalayan, ito ay tanda ng "tinga na lumalabas sa loob" (Tinga Walks Yellow). Kung nangyayari sa mga dulo ng kamay at paa, at may pulang riles na umaakyat, ito ay tinatawag na "red thread tinga".
[Treatment]
1. Acupuncture
Treatment principle: Focus on Du meridian points. Use draining method with filiform needles, or use triquetrous needle to bleed.
Prescription: Shenzhu (GV6), Lingtai (GV10), Hegu (LI4), Weizhong (BL40)
Explanation: This prescription uses Du meridian points as primary, since Du meridian controls all yang, using Shenzhu and Lingtai to disperse yang evil and fire toxin; these two points are also well-known for treating tinga. Hegu is the Yuan point of Hand Yangming meridian, which has abundant qi and blood; draining it helps eliminate yangming fire toxin, especially suitable for facial and lip tinga. Using Weizhong, a Xi point, to bleed helps clear blood heat.
This condition can also be treated based on the affected meridian. For example, if located on the face along the Hand Yangming meridian, add Shangyang (LI1), Quchi (LI11); for index finger tip, use Quchi (LI11), Yingxiang (LI20); for face along the Foot Shaoyang meridian, add Yanglingquan (GB34), Zuoqiaoyin (GB41); for little toe and second toe, use Yanglingquan (GB34), Tinghui (GB2). For red thread tinga, puncture along the red line from endpoint to origin.
2. Picking Therapy
Method: Find papular protrusions on both sides of the spine, use thick needle to pick, once daily.
