Original Point Therapy Introduction:
Original Point Therapy (OPT, 原始點療法) is a natural healing system developed by Dr. Chang Chin-Chuan (張釗漢) of Taiwan after his wife passed away from illness. This therapy emphasizes that treating the root cause—muscle and tendon injuries (體傷)—is essential for true recovery.
Core Principles:
Address the Root Cause (從因改善)
Most illnesses stem from excessive internal cold (體寒).
Avoid cold-natured foods (e.g., raw, icy, or overly cooling foods).
Maintain warmth through diet and external heat sources (e.g., ginger patches, moxibustion).
Lifestyle Adjustments
Regular exercise to improve circulation.
Structured daily routine to support body rhythms.
Emotional balance—mood swings can worsen conditions, so stress management is crucial.
Preventive Healthcare
Even after recovery, maintaining discipline is key to preventing relapse.
Regular self-check on the spine and seven key “Original Points” for tender spots.
If pain is found, massage the area and apply heat therapy to prevent illnesses from developing.
How It Works:
Early Detection & Prevention: By detecting and resolving tender points along the spine and Original Points, many diseases can be stopped before they manifest.
Holistic Healing: Combines muscle relaxation, heat therapy, and lifestyle changes to restore the body’s natural balance.
Note: While OPT is widely used for pain relief and chronic conditions, it should complement—not replace—professional medical treatment for serious illnesses.
Would you like details on specific techniques or conditions it helps with?
Original Point Therapy (OPT) can effectively alleviate most types of pain.
In modern society, many people suffer from a cold-dominated constitution (體質偏寒). Through OPT, cold energy is expelled from the inside out, which can significantly reduce or even eliminate pain.
However, it is not 100% effective for everyone. It is highly recommended to consult a licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner to assess your individual health condition. This ensures a more accurate and effective application of OPT for optimal recovery.
Key Points:
✔ Helps relieve pain by dispelling cold and improving circulation
✔ Works best when combined with professional TCM guidance
✔ Not a universal cure—personalized adjustments may be needed
For best results, combine OPT with proper diagnosis and tailored treatment. Would you like recommendations on specific OPT techniques for different pains?
