Abstract

A photonic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) information therapy was developed that has applications in whole health nursing including the prevention and treatment of ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases as well as the conditioning of the subhealth state. This therapy utilizes the beam of a 630 nm LED light to irradiate the oropharynx, while simultaneously employing two beams of 650 nm LED light to irradiate corresponding acupuncture points resulting in a synergistic outcome. This method was named “1 + 2 phototherapy.” The principle mechanism of the therapy is a series of photon induced biological effects that are triggered by stimulating the photosensitive tissues of the oropharynx. This tissue includes the oral mucosa, capillaries, lymph nodes, saliva glands, nerves, and Jingluo and is stimulated by light beams of certain photon energy and imitative acupuncture information. Thermal tomography imaging shows that the average temperature of the upper-body was improved significantly after oropharyngeal irradiation under irradiation of “Futu point”: the heat radiation of the spine, as well as chest, shoulders, arms, and clavicle, increased under irradiation of “Hoku,” whereas the overall average temperature was below the temperature before irradiation. The experiment indicates that this therapy can promote blood circulation, regulate varied physiological parameters, and have holistic effects in whole health nursing.

Highlights

  • traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a profound dialectical therapy theory, which plays a unique role in rehabilitation

  • Deficiency syndrome is caused by the basic material loss, for example, coronary heart disease, body weight loss, and fatigue, while excessive syndrome is caused by the invasion of pathogenic qi, for example, hypertension and high cholesterol

Summary

Introduction

TCM has a profound dialectical therapy theory, which plays a unique role in rehabilitation. Laser physical therapy mainly uses the low-energy laser stimulation on human skin and subcutaneous tissue, causing the body to regulate, promote, maintain, and restore the physiological functions, prevent disease, promote rehabilitation, eliminate inflammation, repair tissue, and relieve pain. These therapies are commonly used for all kinds of acute and chronic inflammation from sprains, strains, ulcers, and traumatic injuries [13]. Reinforcing and reducing acupuncture therapy, summed up in long-term clinical practice, is able to produce special treatment efficacy precisely because it carries the different modulation information This information can be confirmed to perform healthy regulation of physiological functions by a large number of clinical practices. Such a method is expected to become a new means of conditioning subhealth, prevention, and treatment of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ischemic diseases
