L’agopuntura per l’insonnia. Articolo da scaricare (inglese)
MONTAKAB, Acupuncture For Insomnia
Although acupuncture has proven its efficiency for treating insomnia, unfortunately, most clinicians revert to standard ‘‘recipe-type’’ point combinations rather than designing personalized treatments for their patients.
In Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM), the inner synchronizers that help patients to adapt to outer changes are the Eight Extraordinary Channels. A comprehensive approach based on the diagnosis of these channels can be an excellent option for developing individualized acupuncture treatments for patients. Western neurohumoral theories and discoveries about sleep are detailed and compared with classical Chinese concepts to deepen the
understanding of the energetic aspects of sleep. Finally, a more effective acupuncture treatment approach is proposed. A proper diagnosis of insomnia based on CCM principles increases the efficiency, and reduces the number and duration, of acupuncture treatments
Un articolo del Dott. Montakab, autore del libro “Agopuntura per l’insonnia. Sonno e sogni in medicina cinese“, che ci introduce ad un nuovo modo di analizzare i disturbi del sonno e, quindi, di applicare l’agopuntura per l’insonnia.
Nell’approccio che ci presenta, i meridiani straordinari e in particolar modo Yinqiaomai, Yangqiaomai, Yinweimai e Yangweimai rivestono un ruolo chiave nella regolazione del sonno, tanto che i loro punti xi possono essere utilizzati in senso “diagnostico” per indirizzare la propria valutazione energetica e, quindi, la scelta di punti e meridiani su cui lavorare quando si applica l’agopuntura per l’insonnia.
