Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus pada satu orang lansia perempuan berusia 78 tahun. Terapi akupunktur diberikan selama dua bulan dengan frekuensi dua kali seminggu, total sebanyak 16 kali. Data dikumpulkan melalui pemeriksaan akupunktur meliputi pengamatan, wawancara, pendengaran, penciuman, dan perabaan, serta dievaluasi secara berkala.

A decline in gastrointestinal physiological function, dietary patterns, physical activity, and long-term medication use are contributing factors to constipation in the elderly. This study aimed to describe the application of acupuncture care in an elderly patient with constipation at Griya Akupunktur Buana Purwokerto. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design involving a 78-year-old female elderly patient. Acupuncture therapy was administered for two months with a frequency of twice a week, totaling 16 sessions. Data were collected through acupuncture examinations, including observation, interview, hearing, smelling, and palpation, and were evaluated periodically. The results showed improvements in bowel movement frequency, reduced straining during defecation, decreased sensation of incomplete evacuation, and reduced abdominal discomfort. In conclusion, this case study indicates that acupuncture therapy may serve as a beneficial non-pharmacological alternative in helping to alleviate constipation complaints in elderly patients. Keywords: Acupuncture, Elderly, Constipation.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Fluor albus (pathological leukorrhea) remains a prevalent gynecological complaint in Indonesia, with conventional antimicrobial therapy often limited by side effects and drug resistance. This single-case study evaluated the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in managing fluor albus due to Spleen Qi Deficiency with Dampness Accumulation pattern according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles. A 43-year-old female participant presenting with excessive white-yellowish sticky vaginal discharge, fatigue, abdominal distension postprandially, unformed stools, and cold-heavy sensation in extremities received six acupuncture sessions twice weekly at Griya Sehat "de_maemun", Cirebon. The intervention protocol included tonification techniques at SP-6 (Sanyinjiao), SP-4 (Gongsun), ST-36 (Zusanli), CV-6 (Qihai), GB-26 (Daimai), and BL-20 (Pishu), combined with reduction techniques at SP-9 (Yinlingquan) and CV-9 (Shuifen), supplemented by moxibustion at ST-36 and CV-6. Progressive clinical improvement was observed: by session 3, discharge volume significantly decreased; by session 5, pathological discharge ceased completely with clean undergarments; by session 6, all primary and secondary symptoms resolved entirely. Objective signs normalized progressively—tongue transformed from swollen with thick yellow greasy coating to pink with thin white coating, and pulse shifted from deep-weak-slow-slippery to normal rhythm. The participant also reported restored digestive function (formed stools, no postprandial bloating), elimination of cold sensation in extremities, improved sleep quality, and enhanced energy levels. Acupuncture effectively resolved fluor albus through dual mechanisms of Spleen Qi tonification and Dampness elimination, aligning with the TCM therapeutic principle "Jian Pi Chu Shi" (strengthening Spleen to resolve Dampness). This case demonstrates acupuncture's potential as a safe, non-pharmacological complementary therapy for gynecological disorders with metabolic-gastrointestinal etiology. Keywords: Fluor Albus, Acupuncture, Spleen Qi Deficiency, Dampness.  ABSTRAK Fluor albus merupakan keluhan ginekologi prevalensi di Indonesia dengan angka kejadian 27,60–90% pada wanita usia subur. Terapi konvensional berbasis anti mikroba sering menimbulkan efek samping dan resistensi obat, sehingga diperlukan alternatif terapi holistik berbasis Pengobatan Tradisional Tiongkok (TCM). Penelitian studi kasus ini bertujuan mengevaluasi manfaat asuhan akupunktur pada fluor albus dengan pola sindrom Defisiensi Qi Limpa disertai akumulasi Kelembapan. Partisipan adalah seorang wanita berusia 43 tahun dengan keluhan keputihan patologis berlebihan (sekret putih kekuningan, lengket, berbau), disertai kelelahan, kembung pasca-makan, feses tidak berbentuk, serta lidah gemuk dengan selaput kuning tebal berminyak dan nadi tenggelam-lemah-lambat-licin. Intervensi dilakukan sebanyak enam sesi akupunktur dua kali per pekan di Griya Sehat "de_maemun", Cirebonmenggunakan protokol titik SP-6, SP-4, ST-36, CV-6, GB-26, BL-20 (metode tonifikasi) dan SP-9, CV-9 (metode reduksi), dilengkapi moksibusi pada titik ST-36 dan CV-6. Evaluasi progresif menunjukkan regresi klinis bertahap: pada sesi ke-3 volume sekret berkurang signifikan; sesi ke-5 sekret patologis tidak lagi ditemukan pada pakaian dalam; sesi ke-6 seluruh gejala utama dan tambahan teratasi sempurna dengan normalisasi lidah (merah muda, selaput putih tipis) dan nadi (tidak tenggelam/lemah). Akupunktur efektif mengatasi fluor albus melalui mekanisme tonifikasi Qi Limpa dan eliminasi Kelembapan, sejalan dengan prinsip terapeutik TCM "Jian Pi Chu Shi" (memperkuat Limpa menghilangkan Kelembapan). Pendekatan diferensiasi sindrom berbasis etiologi metabolik-gastrointestinal terbukti memberikan respons klinis bermakna tanpa efek samping farmakologis. Kata Kunci: Asuhan Akupunktur, Fluor Albus, Keputihan Patologis, Defisiensi Qi Limpa.

The causes of death number one in the world is Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), including in Indonesia. WHO data indicates that 17 million people die each year from cardiovascular diseases, with CHD being the largest contributor. The prevalence of heart disease in Indonesia reaches 0.85% of the total population and causes approximately 651,481 deaths annually in Indonesia. Many elderly individuals lack adequate knowledge about CHD and its risk factors. The Mangliawan village in Malang Regency has a relatively high population of elderly residents. The aim of this activity is to provide education on risk factors and early detection of CHD to vulnerable communities at the elderly health posts.

Abstract

Cavernous angioma or cavernous malformation is a benign vascular abnormality that frequently occurs in the central nervous system and may cause neurological disturbances such as seizures, headache, motor weakness, and stroke. Conventional medical management of cavernous angioma remains limited, particularly in cases without surgical indications. Acupuncture, as a complementary therapy, may provide clinical benefits in reducing symptoms and improving patients’ quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of acupuncture care using scalp acupuncture in a case of cavernous angioma. A qualitative case study approach was applied to one client at an independent acupuncture practice in Jakarta. Data were collected through four diagnostic methods of acupuncture (inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, palpation), medical diagnostic findings, and clinical evaluations before and after treatment. The results demonstrated that structured scalp acupuncture on motor, sensory, and chorea–tremor areas led to clinical improvement in the client’s main and additional complaints. Scalp acupuncture shows potential as a supportive modality in the management of cavernous angioma
