Nursing Experience of Auricular Comprehensive Therapy in Treating a Patient with Gastric Pain and Insomnia
This article summarizes the nursing experience of auricular comprehensive therapy for a patient with gastric pain and insomnia. Auricular comprehensive therapy, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) external treatment, involves integrated stimulation methods on the ear, including daily auricular massage, ear scraping, moxibustion fumigation, and auricular acupressure. By targeting specific ear points (e.g., Stomach, Subcortex, and Shenmen), the therapy regulates visceral functions and气血 (Qi-Blood) balance, thereby alleviating gastric pain and improving sleep quality during the treatment cycle.
