A notable recent patient?s case displays the benefits of abdominal acupuncture. The 72 year-old female patient suffered from chronic hiccups for more than six years. The patient sought treatment from doctors practicing traditional Chinese medicine as well as Western medicine however treatments suggested by these doctors were unable to achieve noticeable results. After coming to the UK, the patient?s symptoms were aggravated due to a change of environment. Morpholine and Shugan Jianwei Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) caused no change in the symptoms. Over time, symptoms began to worsen.Initial symptoms on visiting the acupuncture practitioner were constant hiccups - once or twice per sentence while speaking, abdominal distension, bitter mouth and poor sleep. The patient?s tongue was Dark-purple in colour with red edges and had a yellow and greasy coating. Bowel movements were irregular. Pulse condition: left CunKou sunken, both Chi sunken, right Guan slippery.

Acupuncture on Da Heng can invigorate the spleen and remove the dampness.The most important part of abdominal acupuncture is the depth

Deeply puncturing at the upper and lower rheumatic points.
Deeply puncturing at the upper one can adjust the middle
energizer and liver releasing function. Deeply puncturing at the
lower right one can optimize the upper energizer. The diaphragm
is just between the upper and middle energizer.
The prescription has optimized both qi and blood as a whole cycle. At the meantime, it focuses on target acupuncture points for precise treatment. Therefore, the serious constant hiccups can be relieved.
