苑长说耳穴传承

传承的核心是“承”,今天我们以怎样的姿态承接前辈们的心血,会影响下一代耳医从我们手里怎样承接和承接到什么。

耳穴界在近代几乎断代,核心原因是什么?是上一代人的承接方式!上一代人百花争鸣,上一代人没有真正赢得市场的认可。

百花争鸣是好事,但有一个问题,没有了中心,让初学者无所适从,不利于这门新兴的学科得以广泛传承。我们要以国标为核心,便于普及,形成行业共识,一方面让初学者快速入门,另一方面便于学术积累,让耳穴的实践价值得以突破,得到市场的认可。

过去几十年,出现了中医文化的断代,以至于中医的外治法没有市场,没有市场价值,耳穴从业者无法谋生,下一代人不愿意学习,这是不争的事实。

所以今天我们承接的姿态,会影响到下一代人的状态,需要慎重,我们天天大谈传播耳穴,不能回避以上两个根本问题,需要我们这一代人去面对,如何让从业者得到行业认可(有学术地位)和市场认可(能体现职业价值),是眼下亟待解决的问题。


创新


创新的方式,无外乎三类,无中生有(原创)、颠覆式创新、组合式创新。

在我看来,无中生有的耳穴体系,当今之世并不存在,大多是基于古中医的理论或者将散在的耳穴知识点进行系统化升级。

颠覆式创新也不多,大多是组合式创新。

法国诺吉尔博士的倒置胚胎学说,从今天看来无疑是令人敬佩而且是伟大的创举,但依然脱离不了中医体系早期关于耳穴的零星知识点(受华人通过灼烧对耳轮下角来治疗坐骨神经痛的案例启发),该创举是其窥一斑的而识一豹的超强探索能力的胜出,而不属于颠覆式或者原创式创新之盛举。

国标耳穴也属于中西医耳穴知识的融合,属于组合式创新与系统化提升。
而轩辕耳针、干支耳位等另辟蹊径的研究,是传统中医理论体系在耳郭上的应用。

至今,以上学术体系都还在不同程度上有些需要完善的地方,就拿国标来说,仅“枕区”就还诸多留白,轮1-4还有很大的想象空间……还有很多创新的空白点。

我认为有效创新的路径,依然是“温故而知新”,扎根中医药理论体系,拿出更利于“耳穴运算”的体系,是一个巨大的机遇,也是当下的需求。


认知升维


无论哪一套学术体系,在现实中都有解决不了的临床问题,我们需要用升维的智慧来提升临床疗效。


现在大家在用的方式无非如下四种:科学、宗教、哲学、艺术。


投影到耳穴,具体的形式体现为耳穴科研,以宗教思想(改善人的行为习惯,如闭斋、坐禅)或者哲学意识(圣人道,要求病人改善家庭伦理关系)或者艺术(比如古琴五音入五脏、冥想等)辅助提升疗效,目前科研依然是主流,但中医的全局观其实或多或少已经在用其他三种方式来提升患者的生存状态。

就我个人而言,我会更喜欢用古琴的方式,这是我未来十年在传承耳穴的同时会涉足的领域。

苑长说耳穴学习方法


学习是有方法的,可以事半功倍,反之,战术层面的勤奋弥补不了战略层面的懒惰,学耳穴也不例外。不仅要埋头拉车,还要抬头看路。


抬头看路,落实在学耳穴上,体现在构建自己学习的框架,就像建房子,要有设计图纸。

这个架构分六个要素,由决定疗效的四个支柱和决定高度的认知与实践的两个面组成。
首先说说决定疗效的四个支柱:辩证明确、组方准确、取穴精确、刺激得当。

01
辨证明确,是治疗的前提

耳穴有诊断和治疗双重作用,这是很多外治法不具备的特点,耳穴高手首先是耳诊的行家,耳穴诊断有自己独到之处,也自成一派。

耳穴诊断结合脉诊、舌诊等手段,会提高其准确性,当然学到一定程度,耳诊完全可以诊断出大多数疾病,不依赖任何设备,其准确性堪称神奇,看看耳朵,就能知道患者的健康状况,望而知之谓之神,这一点很容易拉进医患距离,第一次就赢得患者信任。

已故耳穴望诊第一人刘士佩老先生第一次见我,就明确指出了我身上过去、现在和即将发生的问题,准确程度令人惊讶,我也是因此入了耳穴的坑,一发不可自拔。当然,初学者,不必追求望诊速成,因为耳穴诊治那些诊断明确的疾病,也是非常好用的。

02
组方,犹如统帅调兵遣将

如果把治疗过程比作一次自卫反击战,耳穴就是统帅可用的将。一方面统帅要懂得中医基础理论,这是兵法,要知道该怎么组织进攻,进攻哪里,怎么把握节奏。另一方面,也要懂得每个穴位的性,知道要派哪几个将出战,知道哪些兵组合在一起能达到治疗目的。

中医基础理论,是大多数中医初学者的坎,但这是必修课,特别是经络与脏腑理论,必须要熟知,这样才能准确地调兵遣将。

组方其实是依据兵法需要,知道用哪些穴,用穴如用兵,不追求所谓的“精”,而是要有效,基于中医的整体观,在不同阶段用不同的兵,不仅要考虑病位,还要考虑致病的经络与脏腑的变化,更要考虑患者所在的天地人环境。

03
取穴,最重要的是精准

耳穴国标,是学习耳穴定位与分区最有效的手段。初学者不要追求经验穴,国标更容易上手,也最具有权威性和普适性。经验穴往往是部分学者的个人经验,多如牛毛,甚至出现不同学者之间还意见不统一,初学者就无所适从了。

国标是入门的捷径,其实经验穴大多是在区中找点,国标里提到的曾用名,里面就涵盖了大多数的经验穴,所以从国标入手,并不会落下这些学者的经验。

无论是贴压还是针刺,穴位的准确性,都是疗效的基础。所以,学习国标,找准穴位,是初学者的重中之重。

04
刺激得当,是决定疗效的临门一脚

耳穴的刺激方法有很多,毫针法、贴压法、刺血法、刮痧法、耳灸法等,都是必要的手段,不同的病情需要用不同的刺激方法,比如刺血,既要放得出,还要放得够量,还要最大程度降低患者的痛苦。

每一种刺激方法,都是有操作规范的,比如针刺,如何消毒、如何进针、留针多久、如何行针、晕针如何急救,都是要认真学习的。贴压也是如此,有没有入穴、如何按压、朝哪个方向按压、多久按压一次、用多大力,不同病症都有讲究,切不可一概而论。

以上是决定效果的四个支柱,这四个支柱的熟练与精准程度,决定了学习者的治疗水准。

接下来,是认知与实践的关系,这是构建耳穴学习架构的地基与屋顶。

05
认知是地基,实践决定高度

你所见所思,决定了这个土地上能长出什么样的柱子,但决定这些柱子高度的是实践。

到处听课,天天读书听网课,决定了认知的广度,但没有实践,这些知识都是纸上谈兵,都不是自己的本领,比如操作规范,光看别人示范是学不会的,犹如在岸上学游泳,要自己上手,看千遍不去自己动手做一遍,线下课程的交流与临床跟诊,是提升实践能力的关键。

不同的学习者,有不同的需求,比如家庭爱好者和耳穴门诊的医者,对技术的精准度不同,但所需要的学习的内容大致相同,都要懂辨证、组方、取穴和刺激方法,只是不同人群的学习程度不同。

不同需求的学习者,学习之初都要构建自己的学习路径,描绘出自己耳穴宫殿的蓝图,地基、四柱与屋顶的形状是相同的,不同的是层数与高度不同。

耳医学苑设置课程,也是基于这个逻辑,无论是筑基营、调理顾问考证班、确有专长辅导班,框架基本相同,只是四柱内容教授的精度不同。比如:



筑基课

是要确保回去能动手,再也不需要对着耳模去给患者贴压。



调理顾问考证班

帮助大家练就绝活,在一类病的治疗上不用翻书或到处跪求组方。



专长辅导课

针对确有专长考核,要用针专攻某一种病,要达到专家级水准。

学习者,要根据自己的需求,设定自己的学习架构与高度目标,值得一提的是,定目标要高一点,毕竟人很容易进入“谋其上而得其中”的坎陷,要想练就绝活,可以把目标定在考专长,如果只是想给家人朋友保健,要把目标定在调理顾问考证,这样胜算大一点。

有长期学习计划的人,可以得到耳医学苑个性化的辅导,制定个性化的学习方案,把一个长期目标切割成多个小目标,一步一个台阶,每一步都有人督促,成功概率更大一点。

Ear Acupoint Inheritance
The core of inheritance is "inheritance". The attitude we take on the efforts of our predecessors today will affect how and what the next generation of ear doctors will inherit from us.
What is the core reason why the ear acupoint boundary has been almost dated in modern times? It's the way the previous generation inherited it! The previous generation had a hundred flowers competing, but the previous generation did not truly win market recognition.
A hundred flowers competing is a good thing, but there is one problem: without a center, beginners are at a loss, which is not conducive to the widespread inheritance of this emerging discipline. We need to take national standards as the core, facilitate popularization, and form industry consensus. On the one hand, it allows beginners to quickly get started, and on the other hand, it facilitates academic accumulation, allowing the practical value of ear acupuncture to be broken through and recognized by the market.
In the past few decades, there has been a generational shift in traditional Chinese medicine culture, to the point where the external treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine have no market, no market value, ear acupoint practitioners cannot make a living, and the next generation is unwilling to learn. This is an undeniable fact.
So the posture we take on today will affect the state of the next generation, and we need to be cautious. We talk about communication every day and cannot avoid the two fundamental issues mentioned above. Our generation needs to face them. How to make practitioners gain industry recognition (academic status) and market recognition (reflecting professional value) is an urgent problem to be solved at present.
Innovation
There are no more than three types of innovative methods: originality, disruptive innovation, and combinatorial innovation.
In my opinion, the ear acupoint system that arises from nothing does not exist in today's world, mostly based on the theories of ancient Chinese medicine or the systematic upgrading of scattered ear acupoint knowledge points.
There are not many disruptive innovations, most of which are combinatorial innovations.
Dr. Norgil's inverted embryo theory in France is undoubtedly admirable and a great innovation from today's perspective, but it still cannot be separated from the scattered knowledge points about ear acupoints in the early stage of the traditional Chinese medicine system (inspired by the case of Chinese people treating sciatica by burning the lower corner of the ear wheel). This innovation is a triumph of his exceptional exploration ability to discern a leopard, rather than a revolutionary or original innovation event.
The national standard ear acupoints also belong to the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine ear acupoint knowledge, which belongs to combination innovation and systematic improvement.
The research on Xuanyuan ear acupuncture(轩辕耳针), stem and branch ear positions and other alternative approaches is the application of traditional Chinese medicine theory system in the ear.
So far, the above academic systems still have some areas that need to be improved to varying degrees. Taking the national standard as an example, there are still many blank spaces in the "pillow area" alone, and there is still a lot of room for imagination in rounds there are still many innovative gaps.
I believe that the path to effective innovation is still to "review the past and learn the new". Rooting in the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine and developing a system that is more conducive to "ear point calculation" is a huge opportunity and also a current demand.
Cognitive dimension upgrading
No matter which academic system, there are clinical problems that cannot be solved in reality, and we need to use the wisdom of dimensionality to improve clinical efficacy.
There are no more than four ways that people are using now: science, religion, philosophy, and art.
Projection to ear acupoints, specifically manifested in the form of ear acupoint researchThe use of religious ideas (such as improving people's behavior habits, such as fasting and sitting meditation), philosophical consciousness (such as the sage's path, requiring patients to improve family ethical relationships), or art (such as the integration of the five notes of the guqin(古琴) into the five organs, meditation, etc.) to assist in improving therapeutic effects is still mainstream in scientific research, but the overall perspective of traditional Chinese medicine is actually more or less using other three methods to improve patients' survival status.
Personally, I would prefer to use the Guqin(古琴), which is a field that I will explore in the next decade while inheriting ear acupuncture.
