Effective Use of Acupuncture Treatment Points for Deafness

By Acupuncturesport.com

The effectiveness of the use of acupuncture treatment points for deafness is still being debated. The ancient Oriental medicine of acupuncture, the use of needles and other non-traditional forms of medicine, acts a simple form of pain relief. Acupuncture improves a person’s ability to distinguish between different sounds or words allowing the user more clarity with the use of a hearing aid. Hearing aids only make sounds louder but not more distinguished. There is a trend of using acupuncture to cure the deafness increasingly at the present time as well as there are also success stories about this.

The Chinese Medicine (TCM) of acupuncture uses certain significant points on a person’s body to treat pain. When acupuncture is used for the treatment of deafness, the area used for each symptom is along certain zone points of the body. These points are the 14 major meridian lines. There are 12 inner organs represented, the spine and the final meridian line is along the center of the abdomen. Each meridian contains a smaller number of points used repetitively for a variety of diseases and the patients themselves. Each point not on the central meridian line of the body has a left and right side mirrored spot.

The acupuncture treatment points for deafness are the Liver and Kidney points. The point on top of the foot, located between the first and second toes is the liver meridian point. Called LV3, Taichong, it balances out emotions, reduces tension and headaches.

The Kidney meridian, K13, Taixi, is the point behind the inside ankle. Commonly this point is effective for disorders for several areas of the body such as sore throat and toothaches, dizziness and asthma. Traditional Chinese Medicine can be an effective relief for pain and medical disorders. Although there is still controversy on its effectiveness the use of acupuncture treatment points for deafness is becoming more popular.
