"Chinese acupuncture is incredible! I truly hope Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be recognized worldwide to help more people!" said Yenny, a woman from Indonesia.

Since 2013, Yenny has suffered from paroxysmal dizziness and headaches, which started due to work exhaustion and worsened over the years. Despite seeking medical help at multiple facilities in Indonesia, she was unable to find a solution. In late 2024, during an exchange visit to China, Yenny visited the Department of Ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine (Dade Road General Hospital), where she consulted with Professor Chen Xiuhua, Head of the Department.

After receiving a series of treatments, including the nationally recognized intangible cultural heritage "Lingnan Chen's Acupuncture," cupping, and acupoint thread embedding, Yenny's long-standing symptoms significantly improved.

In October of this year, taking advantage of the Canton Fair, Yenny made her third trip to Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, accompanied by four family members and friends. By now, Yenny was no longer plagued by dizziness and insomnia, and her son-in-law's issues with hematuria and skin issues had also improved.

For Professor Chen Xiuhua, the Canton Fair has become a special "reunion" with long-time international patients. "Lingnan Chen's Acupuncture has three distinctive features: fast needle insertion with minimal pain, strong needling sensation, and rapid effectiveness. Many foreign friends find it quite easy to accept," Chen explained on the morning of October 29th as she administered acupuncture to Yenny. "For them, these are often stubborn illnesses that have troubled them for years. But here, a single silver needle can bring immediate relief, and a few doses of Chinese herbal medicine can produce noticeable improvement. So, once trust is built, they become firm believers in TCM."

印尼家庭三度赴粤，一根非遗银针解顽症

“中国的针灸很厉害！真的很希望中医中药能被全世界了解，救更多的人！”说这句话的是来自印尼的Yenny阿姨。

2013年起，Yenny因工作劳累开始出现发作性头晕头痛，症状逐年加重，在印尼当地多处求医均无果。在2024年底的来华交流中，Yenny走进了广东省中医院大德路总院传统疗法科主任陈秀华教授的诊室。

经过国家级非遗“岭南陈氏针法”，以及拔罐、穴位埋线等系统治疗，困扰她多年的症状显著改善。

今年10月，借广交会之机，Yenny与亲友一行五人，第三度来到广东省中医院。此时的Yenny，已不再受头晕失眠困扰；女婿的血尿、皮肤问题也已好转。

其实每年广交会，都是陈秀华教授特殊的“老友见面会”。“岭南陈氏针法有三个特点，一是进针快不痛，二是针感强，三是见效快，很多外国友人都很容易接受。”10月29日早上，陈秀华一边为Yenny施针，一边介绍，“对他们来说，可能都是困扰多年的疑难杂症，但来到这里，一根银针就能立刻见效，几副中药就能明显感受到效果，所以一旦建立了信任，就成了‘中医铁粉’”。
