Acupuncture reference (4)
As an
acupuncturist, you learned how to choose acupuncture points
for treatment. You know how 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
<<Tong You Zhi Yao 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.
