「眩晕」三种常见类型与成因 《中医内科学》中这样定义眩晕，眩是眼花，晕是头晕，二者同时并见，统称为「眩晕」。轻者闭目即止;重者如坐车船，旋转不定，不能站立，或伴有恶心、呕吐、汗出，甚至晕倒。 田玉中医师介绍目前最常见的眩晕有三种类型：其一是美尼尔氏综合症，因耳蜗神经不平衡造成的眩晕，患者的临床症状是头晕，天旋地转，呕吐，有的躺下来仍然感觉天花板都在转，有的突然发作，有的发作几天、几个月都不能恢复。其二，还有一种眩晕是因为颈椎病引起的，颈椎间隙狭窄，压迫椎动脉造成头疼、头晕、呕吐；其三，还有因为低血糖、血压过低，肾气不足、贫血、感冒、肠胃病等各种各样的疾病导致的头晕。 根据中医辩证论治的原则，眩晕的病因如下： （1）肝阳上亢 （2）气血亏虚 （3）肾精不足 （4）痰湿中阻 治疗眩晕就可以对证治疗，既然眩晕是肝阳上亢引起，那么在治疗上有一个效果最快的方法是田玉医师最拿手的叫「潜阳顶灸」法。我们重点来学习这个方法。 「潜阳顶灸法」 的特点和原理 肝阳上亢型的眩晕一般表现是：眩晕耳鸣，头胀痛，每因烦劳或恼怒而头晕，头痛加剧，急躁易怒，口苦，舌质红，苔黄，脉弦。 在治疗上首先就要用灸法配合针法疏肝潜阳，让清气提升到脑部，头脑清楚，浊气下降，疏肝理气，提升阳气，让浊气下降，达到滋阴潜阳的治疗目的。 针太冲穴、这个穴位是比较重要的，疏肝理气。太溪穴，补肾的效果好。有时针阴陵泉，排湿，丰隆穴祛痰湿，一般用泻法疏肝理气加补肾的补法，灸百会、针，灸再配合中药达到阴阳平衡，达到治疗眩晕的最佳疗效。 「潜阳顶灸法」治疗的典型病例 独自在家带孩子的母亲，眩晕在新加坡的时候，有一位台湾来的太太，她的先生在台湾，她带着孩子独自在新加坡，她患有严重的美尼尔氏综合症，一旦发作天旋地转，不定期发作这样的情形有十多年了。她很紧张，她来找田玉中医师治疗，用潜阳顶灸法治疗，针法、灸法和中药，治疗2-3周初见成效，在继续治疗2-3个月后痊愈，她回到台湾没有再发病。 在高速公路上开车，突然眩晕 有一位病患，她是美国人，在一家电子公司工作，她的美尼尔氏综合症经常在开车的时候发作，发作起来车都开不了。要把车停在路边，有时车都没停好就发作了，很危险，发作时她很紧张，她找田玉中医师治疗，用了针法，灸法和中药。这样的病人如果不治疗对自己对交通安全来说都很危险，一定要治疗。 颈椎病引起的眩晕 有一位患者是田玉医师在中国医院上班时，来了一位病患，自称为美尼尔氏综合症，但是田玉医师经过诊断之后，发现她不是美尼尔氏症，而是颈椎的椎间盘狭窄引起的椎动脉受压迫导致的头痛、头晕，这种眩晕还伴随脖子也不舒服，需要拍X 光片确诊，需要做颈椎的牵引治疗，在加上针灸。因为当年田玉年纪轻轻就很快治好了她的病，患者高兴的不得了，竟然要认田玉医生做干女儿。 「飞针医师」的来历 田玉医师是1992年毕业于天津中医药大学针灸系；在中国工作5年后97年出国至新加坡停留3年，专治中风、痛症、肠胃病、皮肤病；2000年再到美国，考取加州针灸师执照，于2001年7月开始在美国行医至今，并于2005年在美国取得博士学位。 所谓「飞针医师」，这是田玉的病人们给她起的雅号。主要原因有两个，一个是她在20年的行医实践中创立一些非常行之有效的治疗方法，比如「结构平衡针法」、「通关散石法」、「潜阳顶灸法」等等；另外一方面，是讲她行针准确而且速度快，故称「飞针医师」。 田玉医师除了在天津中医药大学的全科学习之外，更加注意传统中医的师承，跟随同乡著名「伤寒派」大师杨锦堂教授学习多年。承传并独自领悟出有奇效的「结构平衡针法」（治疗颈椎病）、「通关散石法」（治肾结石）、「潜阳顶灸法」（治疗美尼尔氏综合症）以及天津中医药大学得天独厚的奇效「醒脑开窍法」（治疗中风后遗症、头疼）；除此之外，田玉医师还可以主治失眠、腰椎病、痛风、高血压、皮肤病、内科、妇科病、花粉症、坐骨神经痛、面瘫、美容、减肥、中医美容等等方面。 图：田玉医师（摄影：元德/大纪元） 文/邹凤.大纪元
大纪元访谈：田玉中医博士访谈
Acupuncture Provides Pain Relief and Treat Diseases for Many Patients Acupuncture is an ancient practice in which very fine needles are inserted into the skin at strategic points on the body to relieve pain and treat disease. The Chinese developed acupuncture centuries ago in accordance with the theory that energy flows through channels between the surface of the body and internal organs. Chinese medicine maintains that the more than 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body connect with 12 main and eight secondary “meridians” or channels. Pain and disease are the result of these channels becoming blocked. By placing needles at one end of the channel or the other, healthy energy can be restored. Western medicine’s view is that the placement of acupuncture needles at specific pain points releases endorphins and opioids, the body’s natural painkillers, and perhaps immune system cells as well as neurotransmitters and neurohormones in the brain. Research has shown that glucose and other bloodstream chemicals become elevated after acupuncture. According to the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, there is also evidence that stimulating acupuncture points enables electromagnetic signals to be relayed at a greater rate than under normal conditions. This may increase the flow of healing or pain-killing natural chemicals to injured areas. When pain is relieved, patients feel a greater sense of well-being overall, physically and emotionally. As a result, they may heal faster. How is it done? Acupuncture needles are metallic and sterile, used once and discarded. Needles are solid (not hollow, as are hypodermic or vaccination needles) and are slightly bigger than the width of human hair. Patients can feel the needle pierce the skin, but there is no pain. The puncture site is usually swabbed with a disinfectant beforehand. When the needle locates the trigger point, there may be a “grabbing” sensation, followed by a relaxed, heavy feeling and overall body warmth. Some patients even fall asleep during treatment. Side effects of acupuncture are rare, but there may be some soreness or light headedness following treatment. There are several acupuncture methods beyond simply inserting needles. Sometimes a low electrical charge is sent through the needles and sometimes the needles are heated with a heat lamp or “moxa stick,” which is an herbal heat source that looks and burns like a cigar. Sometimes two needles are used at one trigger point. Sometimes the needles are twirled or manipulated by hand, and sometimes needles aren’t used at all, but trigger points are massaged instead.
