Theoretical system and academic thought of acupuncture and moxibustion

Acupuncture is one of the important branches of traditional medicine in China. It is one of the non-drug treatment methods commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, which is juxtaposed with drug therapy, massage, qigong and dietotherapy. The theoretical system and academic thought of acupuncture and moxibustion are consistent with the basic theory and academic thought of traditional Chinese medicine, including yin and yang, five elements, qi and blood, viscera and meridians, etiology and pathogenesis. These theories provide theoretical basis and therapeutic ideas for acupuncture and moxibustion, and make acupuncture and moxibustion have extensive application value in practice.

Yin-yang and five elements theory

The theory of yin-yang and five elements in acupuncture is one of the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also the theoretical basis of acupuncture treatment. Yin and Yang are two basic forms of the earth's material properties. Yin represents yin energy, which is relatively static, negative, introverted and negative; Yang represents positive energy, relatively extroverted, positive, lively and positive. In acupuncture treatment, the balance between yin and yang is very important for health.

The theory of five elements includes five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which interact with each other to form a biological ecosystem. In acupuncture treatment, the theory of five elements is closely related to the surrounding environment, so there must be some environmental protection during the treatment.

Theory of qi, blood, viscera and meridians

Qi and blood, viscera and meridians are also one of the important theoretical foundations of acupuncture. In traditional Chinese medicine, qi and blood are called the foundation of life. Qi is the energy of the human body, and blood is the nutrient of the human body. The two cooperate with each other to ensure the normal physiological function of the body.

Zang-fu organs are the general name of internal organs of human body, including five internal organs, Qi-hai, Shenque and so on. They are interdependent and form a system that is vital to human health. Meridian is a unique concept of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is the running channel inside the human body, which is responsible for the distribution, transmission and transformation of matter and energy in the human body, which is extremely important.

Acupuncture treatment and holistic treatment of traditional Chinese medicine complement each other.

Acupuncture treatment is one of the important treatment methods in Chinese medicine, which is complementary to drug therapy, Chinese herbal medicine therapy, massage, qigong and dietotherapy, and constitutes the basic system of holistic treatment in Chinese medicine. In the holistic treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is one of the most important non-drug treatments.

To sum up, the theoretical system and academic thoughts of acupuncture and moxibustion are based on the theories of yin and yang, five elements, qi and blood, viscera and meridians, which provide theoretical basis and therapeutic ideas for acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture treatment is one of the general treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine, which complements drug therapy, Chinese herbal medicine therapy, massage, qigong and dietotherapy, and constitutes the essence of Chinese medicine treatment experience and wisdom. In practice, acupuncture is of great significance to people's health and medical care, and it is a valuable cultural heritage of traditional Chinese medicine.
