Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture*

Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture is based on the theories of Chinese medicine, including the Yin-Yang Theory, Five-Elements Theory, Zang-Fu Theory, Qi and Blood Theory, and in particular, the Meridians Theory. Also incorporated are western  medical theory relating to anatomy, physiology, modern pathology, histo-embryology, biochemistry, immunology and western diagnosis. It is important to point out that this system is not a projection of the cerebrocortical functional areas on the scalp.

Special procedures

In Zhu 's Scalp  Acupuncture, very short and fine filiform needles are used. The needles are inserted subcutaneously into the subaponeurotic layer of the scalp.  There is absolutely no risk of penetrating the skull, and of course no damage to intracranial tissues. It is painless and a lot safer than conventional body acupuncture because the chance of accidents is very remote.

 

Needle manipulations are important. Special techniques are employed - "Chou Qi" for reduction and "Jin Qi" for tonification. During treatment, qi is directed by means of "Dao-yin" and "Tu-na".

 

Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture does not require any unusual equipment besides the needles. It is not restricted in any way by time, location, environment, nor the patient's posture and age.

Scalp Acupuncture is more effective than Body Acupuncture

The functions of Zhu 's Scalp  Acupuncture, like conventional acupuncture, are to unblock  channels, harmonize 'Ying-Wei ' (i .e. the Nutritive  Qi and the Defensive Qi respectively), balance  Yin­ Yang, strengthen 'Good Qi ' and expel  'Bad  Qi'.  In western medical terms, these actions  are equivalent to anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibiotic, stop bleeding,  promote blood circulation, regulate neurohumoral and endocrine balance, and increase immunity of the system.

​

All diseases begin with qi pathologies prior to any manifestation. Acupuncture cure diseases mainly by adjusting  qi, and Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture specifically is adept in that. Using Zhu 's Scalp Acupuncture, the patient's symptoms are usually  alleviated in a relatively short period of time. This makes it a treatment of choice for not only common ailments but also acute conditions and emergencies. The more acute and symptomatic, the better and notable the effects.  Furthermore, besides resolving the major complaints, it often simultaneously bring relief to chronic problems.

 

Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture can be used with other modalities synergistically. When applied with medicine, it can enhance the actions  of the medicine  while  reducing  its adverse  side effects, consequently allowing  a lower or safer dosage  to be administered.
