耳部全息铜砭刮痧联合耳穴埋豆在失眠症中的应用进展

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, insomnia is categorized under “sleeplessness” with its fundamental pathogenesis involving imbalance of yin and yang, disharmony of the nutrient and defense systems, and dysfunction of the zang-fu organs. It is closely associated with the heart, liver, spleen and kidneys. This article discusses the application progress of holographic copper bian-stone scraping of the ear combined with auricular point bean embedding in improving sleep quality in patients with insomnia. The ear, as the convergence point of all meridians, can regulate the qi, blood, yin and yang of the zang-fu organs when the corresponding auricular points are stimulated. Holographic copper bianstone scraping of the ear helps unblock meridians and guide fire back to its origin, while auricular point bean embedding provides sustained benign stimulation to calm the heart and tranquilize the mind. The combination of these two methods addresses both the root cause and symptoms, demonstrating significant value in enhancing sleep efficiency, prolonging sleep duration, and improving daytime function. This approach provides an effective and scientific integrative protocol of external treatments in clinical practice for insomnia.
