herbal injectables

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmembers,

 

I have done a bit or research on herbal injectables. I have also e-mailed

Valeirie if she can send me a copy of the communication between the

Southwest Acupuncture College and the Colorado Board. She has kindly

promptly e-mailed me back a segment of the letter.

 

Herbal injectables or Chinese herbal injectable is referred to in the

modern Chinese language as shui zhen ('wet needle' as distinguished from

the traditional 'dry needle' gan zhen or acupuncture ) or xue wei zhu she

which may be translated into English as 'acupoint injection' . The book Zhen

Jiu Xue published by the Shanghai TCM College (1974) and the material upon

which O'Connor and Bensky based their book Acupuncture a Comprehensive Text

(l981 defined 'wet needling as :

 

" A new therapuetic technique which combinesjie he acupuncture

zhenci and

materia medica yaowu. Based upon the principles of the acupuncture

meridians

jingluo xue shuo yuan li, Chinese materia medica and Western

pharmaceuticals

are chosen , used and injected into related acupoints xue wei,

sites sensitive

to pain or pressure or on positive response points on the surface

of the body

located through palpation. Through the effects generated by

acupuncture

and materia medica balance tiao zheng the physological functions

in the organism

and transform pathological changes , thereby achieving the purpose

of treating

diseases. " (p.312)

 

The practice of 'wet needling' started during the 50's in Mainland China.

The Compilation of Materia Medica Preparation published by the Materia

medica Research Dept of the Beijing TCM College (1983) has compiled data on

3,873 preparations zhi ji manufactured in China from 1949-1977. This

compilation includes data on 'injectables'manfactured in that period of time

which includes the formula, method of manufacture, therapeutic indication ,

dosage, contraindications, and source of data or information .

Hi All, & Rey,

 

Rey, thanks for the info on Chinese use of point injection.

 

Can you give further data on the protocols most commonly used in

China to inject AP points with herbal agents?:

 

(a) depth of injection (same depth as the classical point(s), or

subcutaneous?);

(b) mean and range for number of sessions;

© mean and range for intersession interval;

(d) are the same points injected each time, or does one avoid using

a previously used point, but choose a different point instead?

 

Many thanks,

Phil
