The acupuncture method is a unique method of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine, which determines the acupoints according to the yin and yang of the viscera and meridians, and the relationship between the surface and the inside. The core idea of this acupuncture method is that when there is a lesion in a certain viscera and meridian, we can select acupuncture points in the acupoints on its surface to form a prescription**. To put it simply, it is the lesion of the yin meridian, and the acupoints can be taken from the yang meridian in its appearance; For the lesions of the yang meridian, the yin meridian can be taken from the yin meridian in its appearance.

Clinically, doctors can choose to take the surface meridian acupoint, the single meridian acupoint, or the surface and the inside acupoint according to the condition. This acupuncture method is widely used and has a good effect on many common diseases. It can not only reconcile yin and yang, balance the function of viscera, but also dredge the meridians and reconcile qi and blood, so as to achieve the purpose of ** disease.

According to the "Soul Disease", if the pain and the back have a feeling of mutual traction, and they often feel a stumbling sensation, as if they are touching the heart from the inside, such symptoms appear in the person who is nervous, and it is kidney heartache. For this kind of pain, the two acupuncture points of Jinggu and Kunlun should be selected first**. This description shows the principle of taking the meridian acupoints from the disease.

At the same time, "Lingshu Syncope Disease" also points out that if the heartache is manifested as abdominal distension, chest fullness, and the heartache is particularly severe, this is usually a symptom of stomach and heart pain. For this kind of pain, the two acupuncture points of Dadu and Taibai should be selected. This description embodies the principle of taking the meridians and acupoints from the surface disease.

In addition, it is mentioned in the "Lingshu: Five Evils" that when evil qi invades the kidneys, it can cause symptoms such as bone pain and yin paralysis. The symptoms of yin paralysis are not allowed to follow, and it is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal distention, low back pain, difficulty in defecation, shoulder, back and neck pain, and dizziness. For these symptoms, the two acupuncture points of Yongquan and Kunlun should be taken**. This description shows the best method that can be applied in conjunction with the inside and the outside.

In the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, the application of matching the inside and the outside is the most common. This method of matching acupoints is based on the theory of meridians, and by matching the acupuncture points of the corresponding meridians on the surface and inside, the effect of harmonizing qi and blood and balancing yin and yang is achieved.

For example, the lung meridian and the large intestine meridian are on the same page, which is well known. In the case of lung disease, we can match the Hegu acupoint with the Taiyuan acupoint. The Hegu acupoint is the original acupoint of the Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, while the Taiyuan Acupoint is the Yu acupoint of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. By stimulating these two acupuncture points, it can reconcile the qi and blood of the lungs and the large intestine, which is helpful for cough, asthma and other lung diseases.

For example, the Heart Sutra and the Small Intestine Sutra are on the same surface, and we can take the Shenmen acupoint with the Houxi acupoint. The Shenmen acupoint is the Yu acupoint of the Hand Shaoyin Heart Sutra, and the Houxi acupoint is the Yu acupoint of the Hand Sun and Small Intestine Sutra. This method of acupuncture has a sedative effect on mental diseases such as epilepsy, madness, and epilepsy. By stimulating these two acupuncture points, it can regulate the heart fire, calm the nerves, and also have a positive effect on relieving mental stress and improving sleep quality.

In addition, the spleen meridian and the stomach meridian are on the same surface, and we can take enough Sanli acupoint with Gongsun acupoint. Zusanli acupoint is the combined acupoint of Zuyang Ming stomach meridian, and Gongsun acupoint is the Yu acupoint of Zutai Yin and Spleen meridian. This method of acupuncture points helps with gastrointestinal problems, such as stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, etc. By stimulating these two acupuncture points, it can regulate the spleen and stomach and promote digestion, which is of great significance for maintaining the health of the digestive system.

In addition to the above examples, the same principle applies to the matching of other meridians. This method of matching the surface and the inside is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and has a certain effect on a variety of diseases. In addition, the method of matching the original meridians in the specific acupoints is also one of the specific applications of this method, by selecting the original acupoints and the meridian acupoints for pairing, you can more accurately adjust the meridian qi and blood, and achieve the purpose of the best disease.
