瞑眩反应healing crisis

“瞑眩反应” (Míng Xuàn Fǎn Yìng) refers to a healing crisis or detoxification reaction that can occur after acupuncture or other treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This reaction is typically characterized by temporary worsening of symptoms, or the emergence of new symptoms, as the body begins to adjust and cleanse itself. It is often considered a sign that the treatment is taking effect, though it can be uncomfortable for the patient.
