Acupuncture is widely used in clinical practice because it is easy to operate, has no side effects, and has significant curative effects. Acupuncture can play a role in balancing yin and yang, communicating between inside and outside, enhancing immunity, and running qi and blood. The choice of acupuncture points is one of the main factors affecting the efficacy of acupuncture, and accurate and reasonable allocation of acupuncture points can improve the efficacy of acupuncture to a certain extent. When it comes to acupuncture, first of all, let’s talk about the choice of acupuncture tools. In ancient times, there were nine needles, i.e. the needles recorded in the “Ling Shu Nine Needles and Twelve Principles”, round needles, sharp needles, beryllium needles, round sharp needles, milli-needles, long needles, and nine kinds of large needles, and nowadays, milli-needles are mostly used for acupuncture, which are suitable for the rescue of almost all kinds of diseases and are very convenient to operate. After talking about the needles, the following is to talk about the principles of clinically used acupuncture points. 1, according to the characteristics of the acupuncture points, like Chinese medicine has the characteristics of lifting and sinking, acupuncture points also have their own characteristics, some are biased towards tonic, such as Guan Yuan Qi Hai, etc., some are biased towards diarrhea, such as Qu Chi, Feng Chi, etc., while more acupuncture points have the characteristics of flat tonic and flat drainage, such as the foot San Li, He Gu, San Yin Jiao, etc., only familiar with this characteristic of acupuncture points, in order to be able to use in clinical work freely. 2, according to the choice of acupuncture points can be divided into local acupuncture points, that is, according to the location of the lesion reasonable choice of acupuncture points to improve the local qi and blood flow, such as the head acupuncture points can treat headaches, facial acupuncture points can treat facial paralysis, abdominal acupuncture points can treat gastrointestinal diseases, etc., distal acupuncture points, that is, not at the lesion to take points, but far away from the lesion to take points, or left disease, or right disease, or left disease, or upper disease, or downward or upward. For example, for acute lumbar sprains and pillow injuries, the acupuncture points are not taken at the waist and neck, but at the corresponding lumbar pain points and pillow points, which is the reason. 3, according to the condition, acupuncture is concerned about the identification of evidence, after the dialectical analysis of the condition, even if the same disease, in the case of the same main points, the points are taken slightly different, that is, dialectical points. For example, if the same stroke is caused by hyperactivity of liver yang, or deficiency of qi and blood, the acupuncture points should be selected on a dialectical basis to achieve the purpose of symptomatic treatment. 4, according to the individual’s physique, such as infants and elderly people to choose points should be few and precise, young adults can choose points can be slightly more, for pregnant women in a special physiological period on the selection of points is also to be careful. For example, in a recent outpatient encounter with two elderly male stroke patients, similar in age, condition, and duration, both exhibiting weakness in one limb and limited mobility, after detailed examination, one patient was diagnosed with wind-phlegm blockage of stroke and the other with qi deficiency and blood stasis, and they were treated with Quchi, Hegu, Waiguan, Foot Sanli, Yanglingquan, and Hanging Bell. In addition, according to the different types of symptoms, the type of wind-phlegm blocking the ligaments was treated with Nei Ting and Feng Long to resolve phlegm, and the type of Qi deficiency and blood stasis was treated with Qi Hai and Blood Hai to activate blood circulation and resolve blood stasis. After one month of treatment, he received obvious results. This case reflects the above principles of point allocation. In addition, the selection of acupuncture points should also take into account the four seasons, weather, environment, emotions and other factors, as Chinese medicine believes that nature is a whole, and man is one of the creatures living in it.
