Recently, Ms. Lei Jufang, Chairperson of our company, and Mr. Chen Weiwu, General Manager of the R&D Center, were invited to attend the 2014 World Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine Conference in Houston, USA. During the plenary keynote speech on the morning of November 1, Ms. Lei delivered a presentation titled “Prospects for Combining Tibetan External Therapies with Acupuncture,” which received high acclaim from the attending experts and scholars.
As one of the four fundamental therapeutic methods in Tibetan medicine, Tibetan external treatments primarily include bloodletting, moxibustion, hot and cold compresses, medicinal baths, and topical applications. In 2008, these techniques were included in the first batch of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. In his conference report, Engineer Lei highlighted several commonly used Tibetan external treatment medications produced by Qizheng Tibetan Medicine, such as Xiaotong Tie Gao (Pain-Relieving Plaster), Bai Mai Ointment, Qing Peng Ointment, and Wu Wei Gan Lu Bath Granules. These medications demonstrate remarkable efficacy in treating musculoskeletal disorders, nervous system conditions, and skin diseases, respectively, by reducing swelling and relieving pain, relaxing meridians and promoting circulation, facilitating limb function recovery, and providing anti-inflammatory and anti-itch effects. All these medications are backed by extensive evidence-based research and mechanistic studies. As part of Tibetan external treatment methods, these commonly used Tibetan medicines, when combined with acupuncture and modern rehabilitation physiotherapy techniques, yield even better therapeutic outcomes.
“Compared to modern medicine, Tibetan medicine possesses many distinctive features and boasts a unique theoretical framework. It can help make up for certain shortcomings in both modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and has remarkable therapeutic effects on specific diseases.” At the conclusion of his speech, Engineer Lei summarized: “The topical Tibetan medicinal products are backed by a distinctive theory and rich practical experience in external treatment. They feature potent medicinal ingredients and a unique formulation process, making them a comprehensive pain-management solution. This provides physicians with greater flexibility in their choice of treatments and makes them particularly well-suited for use by specialist doctors. Currently, these products have gained recognition among Western and Chinese medicine specialists in hospitals across China.”
It is reported that this conference is jointly hosted by the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies and the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, organized by the Huamei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the United States, and co-organized by the Houston government, the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the China Health Care Association. Over 800 delegates from more than 40 countries and regions are attending the conference, which has accepted more than 260 academic papers. The conference focuses on the proposals outlined in the World Health Organization’s “Beijing Declaration” regarding the development of traditional medicine, as well as the resolution WHA62.14 adopted by the 62nd World Health Assembly to promote traditional medicine. Participants will engage in scholarly exchanges on topics including acupuncture medicine, the development of acupuncture legislation, the establishment of acupuncture standards, acupuncture education and training, and acupuncture research.
