Tongue Acupuncture – New Hope For Human Health

1. Quick pricks, little pain, no side effects and easily acceptable by patients.

​

Usually, a single session of the treatment lasts less than one minute as needles will not be left on the tongue, which fits the fast pace of modern life.

 

As Tongue Acupuncture elicits minimal pain, it generally does not cause children to cry and thus is easily acceptable by patients.

 

Basically, Tongue Acupuncture leaves no side effects, with the rare exception of a small
number of patients experiencing localized oedema, bleeding and stasis. No special care is
required as the body will absorb it in three to five days.

2. Instant relief in some symptoms can be felt in three to five minutes after receiving Tongue Acupuncture.
Examples:
Finger-nose test for spinocerebellar ataxia;
Slurred speech in stroke, pseudobulbar palsy and articulation disorder patients;
Scissor gait, in-toeing, out-toeing and toe-walking in cerebral palsy children;
Blocked ears, “qi” stagnation, eye fatigue, pollen allergy, dizziness, physical fatigue, etc;
Various pain in shoulders, arms, legs, lower back, etc.

3. Tongue Acupuncture is a more effective treatment for some complex and refractory diseases around the world.
 

Autism : After around 20 sessions of Tongue Acupuncture, autistic children will display better eye-contact, improved emotion, friendlier behaviour and higher intelligence (better cognition). During a continuous treatment, the patients will also perform easier receptive to knowledge, better comprehension and ability of self-expression.

Cerebral Palsy : After around 20 sessions of Tongue Acupuncture, patients with cerebral palsy will experience greater strength in the lower back and neck. Their body movements will improve and show better coordination and stamina. Improvements can also be seen in hands and feet spasms. Problems, such as scissor gait, in-toeing, out-toeing and toe-walking, which have baffled medical experts all over the world can also be improved.

 

Mentally retardation : Patients with mental retardation are incurable in the eyes of the medical experts, because improving the intelligence is unimaginable. However, Tongue Acupuncture can bring hope and incredible help to those children. After about 20 sessions, we can usually observe improvements in their intelligence. Tasks that the patients could not perform previously – such as switching on the TV and selecting channels, going to the washroom by themselves, choosing their favourite food and drinks, playing games, and even articulating clearly – are possible now. Some children who perform badly in school also show improved learning and higher class rankings.

Depression : Tongue Acupuncture shows significant results for depression, which is a more common problem in recent years. A short period of the therapy can help to ease chest tightness, short of breath, melancholy, insomnia and other symptoms. This therapy is suitable for menopausal syndrome.

Other : Tongue Acupuncture can be used for brain comatose patients (due to traffic accident, stroke, etc); hand and foot spasms, speech disorder and facial palsy of patients with severe stroke (duration of illness over one year); dysfunction of multiple sclerosis; muscle spasm of Parkinson’s disease; optic atrophy; glaucoma; articulation disorder; and Meniere’s syndrome. It can also combat fatigue from exercise and improve your performance in sports. Meanwhile, it also has the effects of easing the side effects of cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

 

4. Wide Applications
Tongue Acupuncture can apply widely to internal medicine, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system (frequent urination and urgent urination), and the endocrine system; external medicine (spine, limbs, shoulder and back pain, and sports injuries); endometrium displacement, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, menstrual cramp, irregular menstruation and ENT diseases.

5. Scientific basis for tongue acupoints verification
According to the holographic theory, the positioning of the acupuncture and tongue acupoints are scientifically verified by overlapping them with the human anatomy. The acupoints on the dorsum of the tongue are corresponding to body’s internal organs. These acupoints are consistent with the human anatomy. The holographic diagram of the tongue dorsum is an inverted human figure. The positions of some acupoints are verified by PET and fMRI scanning and research.

 

6. Scientific basis for Tongue Acupuncture
Observations after Tongue Acupuncture are conducted mainly with the use of modern and internationally standard norms, such as randomised placebo-controlled trial and the double- blind method; while some are performed by using the most advanced medical diagnostic methods, including P.E.T. scan, fMRI scan and EPs. The research articles have been published in different western medicine journals in America, Britain and Canada.

 

7. Patients with brain diseases are found to have swollen sublingual fold on the underside of the tongue. Positive matter on the underside of the tongue is also found to be consistent with the human anatomy.

In a survey involving over 2,000 people, 95.8% of brain disease patients have swollen sublingual fold on the underside of the tongue, indicating a very useful clue to treating cerebral diseases. The positive matters (kernel-like nodules) on the sublingual frenulum are directly related to diseases of body parts reflected as acupoints on the tongue.

 

8. The significance of Tongue Acupuncture to diseases (autism, cerebral palsy, mental retardation) regarded incurable by the world is different from that of other therapies offering only rehabilitation and training.
