The idea of acupuncture has been developed from traditional Chinese medicine, and aims to return balance to a body that has become ill due to an imbalance.

2018年西雅圖三伏貼（三九貼）療程
每年的三伏天都是冬病夏治的日子，所謂的三伏天炙(三伏貼)，就是一種運用天炙治病的療法，此法結合了傳統中醫時間醫學、針灸學和中藥外治等知識，是近年來頗流行的一種夏季理療方式，頗受人們的青睞。在台灣，一到貼三伏貼的季節中醫師診所就會大爆滿，因為在台灣由於氣候濕熱、飲食不良、常吹冷氣及過度服用藥物等等原因導致身體容易產生過敏性的體質。例如：氣喘、花粉症、流鼻水、容易感冒、手腳冰冷、免疫下降、皮膚搔癢等。運用三伏貼，可以大大地改善以上的病症。在冬天，中醫師通常還會再實施一次三伏貼，叫做三九貼，來加強療效。 西雅圖氣候偏涼，到了秋冬季節由於在春夏季吸取陽光不足，體內容易產生濕氣，抑制身體陽氣的生成，所以一到了氣溫驟降的節氣就容易引發過敏性體質。過敏性體質在中醫學上是一種陰性的臨床表現，通常伴有陽虛痰濕。最常見的就是流鼻水/鼻涕逆流及上呼吸道的問題如氣喘。許多從亞熱帶地區、中南美洲，甚至是加州德州搬過來的人身體皆易產生不適應的問題。在診所我們常常在治療過敏性的病症，有很多的病人都是從別的地區搬過來的。 以下市民視新聞關於三伏貼的報導，可以參考一下： 三伏天是出現在節氣小暑與立秋之間，是一年中氣溫最高的日子。伏即為潛伏的意思。“三伏天”的“伏”就是指“伏邪”。即所謂的“六邪”（指“風、寒、暑、濕、燥、火”）中的暑邪。所謂的“伏天”，就是指農歷“三伏天”，即一年當中最熱的一段時間。入伏後，地表濕度變大，每天吸收的熱量多，散發的熱量少，地表層的熱量累積下來，所以一天比一天熱，進入三伏，地面積累熱量達到最高峰，天氣就最熱。另外，農曆七八月份副熱帶高壓加強，在副高的控制下，高壓內部的下沉氣流 … [Read more...]
