What is Dao-qi technique and what’s the benefit of Dao-qi for dementia/ Alzheimer’s disease? Q19

Dao-qi acupuncture technique has a long history for treating chaos disorders. It requests special needling manipulations on certain acupuncture points. If precise practising, then Dao-qi technique on some special point may generate special needling reaction directly working on the brain. As a sample if Dao-qi on Fengfu (DU16), the reaction may directly go into the brain or to the head. Another sample is Zhongwan (RN12), which is called “the second brain”.

Clinically, Dao-qi acupuncture technique can be combined with scalp acupuncture to enhance the special results for brain related conditions including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Note: Above Acupuncture for Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Q&A is based on the requests of oversee colleagues on the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and how to answer the questions from these patients. It is not an academic paper so mostly use plain words.

Four days, from Friday to Monday, with Monday being the Queen's Birthday holiday. The trainees are mainly from all over Australia, with a small number from Malaysia and Singapore. It is conceivable that they have overcome many difficulties and spent time and money to study. Some of the intended applicants gave up because the epidemic has not yet completely ended. As a lecturer, I can only do my best to impart what I know, clinical perception, experience, etc. to the students without reservation, and guide the students in location, needling, techniques, etc. The on-site demonstration, consultation, and treatment are as detailed, comprehensive, and practical as possible. All the students persisted until the end of the course at 5:00 pm on the last day, and none of them left early. Even at the last minute, they were reluctant to give up, applauded and thanked, and said that they were looking forward to seeing me again in soon future. A participant feedback me today, "We really want to thank you for teaching us scalp acupuncture and your experience. I have learned a lot from you. When I come back to Singapore, I have used your method to treat some depression. stroke and pain patients, the effect is really extraordinary. The effect is really improved. I will do more research and study in this area, and I will notify you first if there is any new discovery.”This is a subtitle for your new post
