Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic mental disorder characterized by intrusive, unwanted, and repetitive thoughts and behaviours. As complementary and alternative therapies, acupuncture and moxibustion offer low side effects, high safety, and low cost. Research has shown that acupuncture and moxibustion are effective in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. Acupuncture and moxibustion have been shown to provide reliable evidence of efficacy and safety for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Why it happens:
In traditional Chinese medicine, OCD is classified as “Yu Zheng” (depression syndrome). Year after year, the incidence rate has increased due to the increasing pressure of life. Typically, OCD begins around adolescence or adolescence. As a result of an emotional and will disorder, patients suffer from obstruction of Qi, loss of liver function, and viscera dysfunction, which severely impacts their mental health and quality of life.
There has been some progress in the treatment of OCD using acupuncture and moxibustion in recent years. Treatment of OCD with acupuncture and moxibustion aims to invigorate and open the brain. Ordinary acupuncture, electroacupuncture, ear acupuncture, etc., are the most common types of acupuncture currently available.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and TCM treatment
As far as classical Eastern medicine is concerned, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is considered by classical Eastern medicine to be an energy dysfunction of the kidneys and a disconnection between the Spirits or the nourishment of the Spirits. According to Ling Shu, “when there is fear or anxiety, worry and preoccupation attack the Spirits.”.
Fear and fright cause the Spirits to spill out; they cannot be contained. As the Kidney contains the Essence or Jing (life force), which creates Qi and produces Spirit, all fear-based afflictions are attributed to it. As a result of this cycle, the Kidney causes emotional distress, including symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
The disease is not important. The “patient” is important, because the patient has created the disease. The cause is in the patient; the disease is only a symptom. You can change the symptom, and another symptom will come up. You can force this disease by drugs, you can stop its expression, but then the disease will assert itself somewhere else and with more danger, more force – with a vengeance. So we will feel the “patient.” As we all aware education and experience equality important. But most important to get in tune with the “patient” and find the cause using both western and eastern medicine. We care and will build a rapport; and create a bridge on your healing journey!

KI3 is located between your inner ankle bone
KI3 is located between your inner ankle bone and your Achilles tendon; KI6 will strengthen your Kidney Yin, which is also out of balance in cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The point is located on the outer ridge of the middle foot; it strengthens Kidney Yang, located just above the outer ankle, which needs to be realigned. Although these points are all within a similar radius, many other acupuncture points throughout the body will calm Shen (mind-spirit), ease depression associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as well as quiet the mind to be able to concentrate on a direct, linear focus rather than a firestorm of constant repetitiveness.
