Acupuncture reference (1)
As an
acupuncturist, you learned how to choose acupuncture points for
treatment. You know to choose the acupuncture points by the
distribution of meridians, by Five-element plus Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue
diagnosis, by Ba Hui Xue (Eight-Crossing points), by Jing-Xin-Shu-Jing-He
principles. Here are some more choices: to choose the
acupuncture points by experience. Some of the experience you may
have heard before. For example, to choose Jianjing point for
breast infection (abscess) or use Fuliu for dry mouth or extreme
thirsty. The data are from old and famous book <<Bai zhen Fu>>.
It is originally in Chinese. Clinic experience tells us that it
is indeed that some acupuncture points have relatively more
specific healing effects for some clinic conditions.
