Acupoint Exploration A PRELIMINARY EXPLORATION OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SELECTING ACUPOINTS FOR EIGHT CATEGORIES OF PATTERNS OF IMBALANCE

摘要

With the help of computers,we have made statistics as to the frequency of se-lecting points for the eight categories of patterns of imbalance.We suggest that for the heat syn-drome,the points in the upper part should usually be selected,for the cold syndrome,the points inthe lower part should generally be adopted;for the exterior syndrome,the points on the yang surfaceshould mostly be selected,for the interior syndrome,the points on the yin surface should generally beadopted;for the asthenic syndrome,the points in the trunk should mostly be selected,for the sthenicsyndrome,the points at the extremities generally be adopted.
