Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese treatment using thin needles inserted at specific points in the body. It is based on the belief that energy (qi) flows through meridians and illness occurs when qi is blocked. The needles may alleviate pain by stimulating the nervous system to release chemicals or affect brain chemistry. Current evidence supports acupuncture for back/neck pain, headaches, and nausea. Risks are generally minor but may include bruising or fainting. Serious risks like infection or organ puncture are very rare if done properly. The document provides details on the theory, mechanisms of action, appropriate conditions, procedures, risks and side effects of acupuncture.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain and treat various health conditions. It works by unblocking disruptions in the flow of "qi", or life energy, through pathways called meridians. A session at John's Acupuncture clinic can help fix pains like neck or back issues for $50. Testimonials from past clients report relief from shoulder pain, migraines, and improved mobility.

Qigong has a curative effect through self-treatment and treatment from others. Self-treatment involves regulating the mind, body, and respiration to enhance immunity and metabolism. Treatment from others involves receiving external qi emitted by qigong masters, which has inhibitory and immune-enhancing effects. Scientific experiments provide evidence that external qi consists of infrared radiation and bioelectricity that can rearrange energy flow and reduce tissue resistance.
Qigong is a mind-body practice originating from China that involves gentle movements, breathing techniques, and meditation. It is practiced by millions worldwide for its physical, mental and spiritual benefits. These include improved circulation, stress reduction, joint flexibility, and overall well-being. The document discusses the history and philosophy of Qigong, its health benefits, different styles, and how it can be practiced by people of all ages and physical abilities.

1) Qigong is a traditional Chinese mind-body exercise involving body posture, breathing, and mind adjustments that has existed for over 3,000 years under various names.
2) It is based on the Chinese concept of Qi (vital energy) flowing through meridian pathways, and different Qigong traditions (e.g. Daoist, Buddhist, medical) have developed over time.
3) Research studies have shown Qigong may help manage stress and conditions like hypertension, arthritis, cancer, and pain. However, conducting rigorous scientific research on Qigong presents challenges.
What is Acupuncture? How Does Acupuncture Work? Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that restores health and vitality through the body's own healing mechanisms.
Acupressure is an ancient healing technique based on Chinese medicine that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body called acupoints. It works by unblocking the flow of qi, or life energy, along meridian pathways. Some key points:
- Acupressure is similar to acupuncture but uses finger pressure instead of needles to stimulate acupoints. It can effectively treat many physical ailments as well as mental health issues like depression.
- The technique originated in China and is based on the theory that qi flows through meridian channels. Applying pressure to acupoints along these channels helps restore balanced qi flow and healing.
- Common techniques include pressing, rubbing,
Acupressure is an ancient healing art of traditional Chinese medicine that uses finger pressure on key points (called acupoints) on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. It’s considered a form of massage therapy or bodywork. In acupressure, local symptoms are considered an expression of the condition of the body as a whole (mind, body, and spirit). Acupressure sessions focus not only on relieving discomfort, but also on reducing tensions and toxicities in the body before they develop into an illness

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has over 2000 years of history and uses different approaches than Western medicine. TCM is based on Daoist ideas of balance in the universe and diagnosis focuses on identifying energy imbalances. Massage called tui na works on meridian points like acupuncture without needles. Herbal remedies are commonly used to treat illnesses based on diagnosis of pulses, tongue, and the Five Elements theory. Qigong exercises and meditation are practiced for preventative health, stress relief, and treating chronic conditions. Acupuncture regulates qi and blood flow using stimulation of meridian points. The yin-yang theory describes opposing natural forces applied to understanding the human body.
This document provides an overview of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It discusses key concepts like yin-yang balance and the five elements theory. Treatment methods covered include herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, tui na massage, qigong, tai chi, and meditation. Diagnosis techniques involve observing the patient, listening to their pulse, and examining their tongue. While generally safe, some potential risks from TCM are also outlined, such as herb-drug interactions and infection from unsterilized needles.
This document provides an overview of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. It discusses key concepts in traditional Chinese medicine like Yin and Yang balance and Qi flow.

Acupressure is an ancient form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses finger pressure on key points along meridian lines to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. By applying pressure to specific points, endorphins are released which relieve pain and balance chi or life energy flow. Acupressure is a gentle alternative therapy that can effectively treat conditions like headaches, joint pain, nausea, and asthma. It has been practiced for over 5,000 years as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine which views health as a balance of yin, yang, and the five elements of chi or life energy flow through meridian pathways.
Pranic Healing is a system of energy healing that uses prana or life force to accelerate the body's natural healing process. It is based on scientific principles and has been validated through research showing its effectiveness in treating both physical and psychological issues. Pranic Healing is taught through workshops worldwide and used as a complementary treatment in some hospitals. Extensive research has demonstrated its benefits.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice using thin needles inserted into the skin at specific points to relieve pain and other symptoms. It has been used for over 2000 years and works by stimulating the nervous system to release chemicals that alter bodily processes. While not proven to cure illness, studies show acupuncture is effective for pain relief from headaches, back pain, and other conditions. The interviewed patients found acupuncture eliminated their severe back pain after other treatments failed, with minimal side effects from the needle insertion. They would recommend acupuncture and undergo it again due to its effectiveness.

Acupuncture is based on balancing energy that circulates and manifests harmoniously for a healthy life. The Qi is tuned to bring a homeostasis to the body mind and spirit through the five landscape points in all the 12 meridians. These 60 Command points are grouped based on the Evolutive Phase (energy transfer) by the author. The meaningful icons will reveal the therapeutics to the learned Acupuncturist who can interpret the directions and understands the dimensions too.
This document discusses the role of the Acupuncture Science Association (ASA) in meeting India's national health objectives and targets set by the WHO's Traditional Medicine Strategy for 2014-2023. It outlines ASA's goals of uniting acupuncturists under one umbrella to raise standards of treatment, educate practitioners, and advocate for recognition of acupuncture as an independent system of treatment in India. The document also discusses definitions of traditional and complementary medicine according to WHO, regulations in different countries, and a holistic view of health involving the five koshas or sheaths of personality.
The document discusses how Traditional Chinese Medicine views the human body as having an internal landscape that is shaped by external influences. It describes how the Neijing and other classic texts portray the body's internal organs as having roles similar to political and military figures ruling a kingdom. The internal landscape can be influenced by factors like the seasons, environment, and time period one lives in. An acupuncturist must consider all of these elements when diagnosing and treating a patient to bring their internal landscape back into a healthy balance.
Scientists all over the world and Clinical Evidence about beneficial effects of Acupuncture have accorded a high status to Acupuncture and this is the second mostly demanded treatment in the advanced nations.

Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.

THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...Nursing Mastery
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

suffering will play trigger roles for
the Five Physiologies .
Dr Raju C Krishna JINGWELL ACADEMY Acupuncture Scientist
27. Dr Raju C Krishna JINGWELL ACADEMY Acupuncture Scientist
28. • Taiyang (Small Intestine and Bladder)
• Most expansive, superficial posterior
cold and dark layer (Quenches Heat and
eliminates Stress).
• Vulnerable to cold, stagnations and
anything that catches from behind.
• From SI 1 –> To UB 67
• Heat is discharged off the body (and
blood) - therefore forming the first line of
defense in an external pathogenic attack.
• The point pairs are often used to address
pain/stiffness/numbness issues running
along the course of the back of the body,
from cervical spine to lumbar region and all
along the Autonomic Nervous System.
Dr Raju C Krishna JINGWELL ACADEMY
Acupuncture Scientist
29. • Shaoyang (Sanjiao and Gall Bladder)
• Spaces needed to drain the heat and
toxins stagnated, through Lymph and
lubricate the tendons.
• Guides and Opens everything to lead
thought to clarity
• From TW 1 -> To GB 44
• “pivot” between the opening of Taiyang
and the closing of Yangming - dispersing
clumped Qi. Shaoyang paired with Jueyin,
regulates Qi, blood and heat in the Jueyin
(most notably, the Liver).
• It regulates Humidity, allows lymphatic
drainage and lubricates tendons and opens
fascial spaces and orifices.
Dr Raju C Krishna JINGWELL ACADEMY
Acupuncture Scientist
30. • Yangming (Large Intestine
and Stomach)
• Light up the central physiological
processes to seek routine life
perspectives.
• Awakens to purposeful behavior
and Alerts every space within.
• From LI 1 -> To ST 45
• “interior of the exterior” (the front of the
body). Yangming is “full of Qi and blood” and is
the warm core within Yang and the relatively
solid place from which Yang begins to grow
outward to its eventual dispersal to the
external environment at Taiyang.
It regulates Dryness. If there is abundant Qi and
blood in a body (produced via Yangming) then
Dryness cannot take hold. As Yangming holds
and generates a lot of heat, there is always the
potential for it to slip into Dryness and Yin
Deficiency.
Dr Raju C Krishna JINGWELL ACADEMY
Acupuncture Scientist
31. • Taiyin(Spleen and Lungs)
• Nourishing Blood and keeping the
Form and Life quality in harmony.
• Feeds every cell and pushes blood
to micro-capillaries.
• From SP 1 -> To LU 11
• Two primary functions are
Dampness and Nutrition. The
spleen works on the arterial
capillaries (carrying fresh blood,
oxygen, and nutrition) meet the
venous capillaries (carrying
used/damaged blood, CO2, and
waste).
The lung works on this level
through the exchange of oxygen
and CO2 within the body. The
two work together for
nourishment and elimination.
Dr Raju C Krishna JINGWELL ACADEMY
Acupuncture Scientist
32. • Shaoyin (Kidneys and Heart)
• Sustaining all the Blood properties for
smooth circulation and Calm Life.
• Ensures happiness within and outside.
• From K1 -> To H 9
• Drain heat to clear the heart while
dredging and opening the yin collateral (Luo)
vessels. The channel invigorates and moves
blood around and heat away.
Both the heart and kidneys are sources of
metabolic fire (heat/warmth) in the body.
The Heart is a source of fire through moving
and circulating blood throughout the body;
the Kidneys supply this through Mingmen
Fire.
Unlike Taiyin, the Shaoyin organs/channels
do not work together, but rather have a
relationship of dynamic tension.
Dr Raju C Krishna JINGWELL ACADEMY
Acupuncture Scientist
33. • Jueyin (Liver and Pericardium)
• Most responsive space needed for Thought, Action and
Survival Powers.
• Decides Performance and Position in Life.
• From LIV 1 -> To P 9
• Fosters yin, nourishes blood, and regulates
distribution of blood to other channels. It “calms
spirit ”, because of the relationship of blood to
the spirit. It also regulates Wind
(neurotransmission), the suddenness of which
causes disturbances in the circulation of blood.
•
Liver stores blood for the whole body, while
Pericardium stores blood for the Heart and
Brain. Jueyin, is used for dredging the channels
to move and restore normal blood circulation,
and thereby address both spirit issues and Wind.
(Cognitive, Behavioral).

35. Heaven moves down, Earth moves upwards, to create
Physiologies in Man.
Waves of Heaven and Particles of Earth created us. Heaven
is subtle and invisible and corresponds to images and
ideas, Earth is substance and form and corresponds to
physicality.
Heaven gives thoughts while Earth gives form; this is a
vertical axis of Heaven and Earth in humans - represented
by the heart and kidney. The kidney fills the Marrow in the
bones and the brain. Heart stores the Mind (Spirit) and
therefore processes the thoughts through the brain.
Zang organs receive terrestrial inputs of Dampness/ Heat/
Wind through the Yin meridians that crawl upward from
the feet to the finger tips of the upper extremities.
Fu organs receive celestial inputs to harmonize these three
properties through the Yang meridians that drop
downward in the reverse (through the Head).
36. The 6 – Vertical JING (Meridians)
Dawn Noon Dusk Midnight

37.
38. Luo – are the Collaterals that are transverse branches bifurcating from the Jing
(Meridians). There are fifteen collaterals in all (each of the twelve regular channels has
a collateral, plus the Ren and Du channels, and the great collateral of the spleen).
The Limb collaterals of the yin channels run towards the yang channels while the
collaterals of the yang channels run to their related yin channels.
The Trunk collateral of the Ren channel spreads over the abdomen. The collateral of
the Du channel disperses throughout the head and branches off to join the Taiyang
channel of the foot.
The great collateral of the spleen is distributed over the chest and hypochondriac
regions.
The Luo strengthen the function of the Jing and closely connect the exterior-interior
related channels. They assist the transportation and distribution of qi and blood in
order to moisten and nourish the whole body.
While Qi of the JING descends abruptly or crawls upward swiftly, within the LUO it disperses
gently like a feather and diffuses into the micro capillaries and cells.
