Abstract

This article emphasizes the treatment of endometriosis by using laser acupuncture and moxibustion which belongs to Shi Zhen. The major pathophysiology is that the circulation of the Qi and blood is obstructed. The obstruction of Qi leads to a block of blood and poor circulation which causes pain. The treatment should be introduced mainly by adjusting Qi and blood. We used an He-Ne low level laser instrument. Its export function is >= 20 mw, wavelength 6328 angstroms with a single-red light. By using a double tube fiber bundle it strikes directly on Liv. 3, Ren. 6, SP. 8. Each of the three points needs to be struck for five to ten minutes once a day. One therapy phase requires seven applications continually. This treatment results in cleaning the liver, adjusting the oxygen, and disencumbering the piles and the pain. When it makes the circulation of Qi free, the blood is normally transported and the pain disappears. After one or two phases of therapy, clinical re-examination indicated the disappearance of scleromata in the uterus. Five patients treated and continually re-checked recovered. Finally, their menses turned normal and clinical symptoms vanished within six months.
