Syncope is a state of extreme exhaustion and physical weakness caused by circulatory disorders leading to significant fluid loss, or as a result of heart disease and conditions occurring in the advanced stages of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and pneumonia, with a severe failure or reduction in vital functions. Clinically, the disease is characterized by sudden onset of nausea, dizziness, pale complexion, shallow breathing, cold sweats all over the body, muscle relaxation, general weakness, and often sudden collapse, sometimes accompanied by a loss of consciousness. Syncope falls under the categories of "fainting" and "consumptive disease" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This condition often arises from a long illness and physical deficiency or from a deficiency that is complicated by an external pathogen, leading to a sudden reversal of the body's Qi mechanism, disorder in the ascending and descending of Qi, and a disconnection of Qi and blood, as well as Yin and Yang, resultin
It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course. (If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
1. First, assist the patient with syncope to lie down in a well-ventilated area, elevate the legs, lower the head, and rest quietly for a while; most people can gradually recover on their own. 2. If the patient still feels unwell, provide warm boiled water or warm sugar water to drink. 3. If the patient is in a severe state of syncope, they should be taken to the emergency department of a hospital for comprehensive treatment, and should not be handled blindly.
