The effectiveness of the traditional moxibustion method hinges on accurate acupuncture point detection. Previously, doctors relied solely on manual inspection and eye contact. While experienced practitioners were successful, novices often struggled to locate the right points, resulting in wasted treatment efforts. But now, robots with radar eyes are providing assistance. Using high-frequency radio waves, they can clearly identify acupuncture points, instantly boosting moxibustion's effectiveness. Today, let's discuss the power of this "high-tech acupuncture point detection" and how it aids moxibustion treatment.
Electronic eyes are far more accurate than human hands
The intelligent moxibustion robot uses millimeter-wave positioning. Simply put, it emits high-frequency radio waves, scanning the body like a radar. Best of all, it doesn't require removal of clothing; it can scan through fabric and record 360-degree images of every inch of the skin's surface, including small dents, bulges, and temperature fluctuations. Its accuracy is down to the millimeter—far more accurate than a doctor's manual feel.
No matter how thin or fat you are, or how obscure an acupuncture point is, the robot can pinpoint it. It also reacts quickly. Even the slightest movement is detected, and it adjusts its position instantly. This makes acupoint locating fast and accurate, laying a solid foundation for subsequent moxibustion treatment.
How does it "see through" acupoints?
The secret of this technology lies in the ability of millimeter waves to "see through" surfaces. The robot, equipped with high-precision sensors, sweeps across the body. The radio waves encounter subtle differences in the tightness of the underlying tissue and the speed of blood flow, generating different reflected signals. The system then identifies points that match the characteristics of acupoints and directly locates them at their exact coordinates.
In the past, doctors relied entirely on experience to locate acupoints, and even after a long time of feeling, they might still be slightly off. Now, a robot scans the acupoints, clearly identifying the differences between the acupoints and the surrounding tissue. The results are consistent regardless of who is performing the procedure. Data suggests that this method accurately locates acupoints nine out of ten times, making it much more reliable than manual manipulation.
Can moxibustion really double its effectiveness?
Accurately locating acupoints allows moxibustion to deliver the full power of the treatment precisely at the right spot. In the past, you might spend ages burning the wrong acupuncture points. Now, the heat energy penetrates directly into the correct acupuncture points, instantly opening up the meridians.
Hospitals have tested moxibustion using robots to locate acupuncture points, and they have cured 20% more patients than traditional methods. Chronic ailments like back pain and leg pain have also improved 30% faster. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners say, "Moxibustion is truly effective only when the acupuncture points are correctly located." Using this technology, not only are the results more effective, but the quality of treatment is also consistently high every time.
In the final analysis, the robot's "radar eye" has greatly enhanced moxibustion. The once-difficult problem of locating acupuncture points has now been solved with technology, resulting in an immediate difference in treatment results. It's expected that soon, as this technology becomes more widespread, people will no longer have to worry about targeting the wrong spots when getting moxibustion.
