What is the role of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine?

From left to right, the acupuncture points are Yangxi, Yangchi and Yanggu respectively. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that exogenous cold evil is generally caused by the fact that the acupoints belonging to Yang are covered or occupied by the qi of Yin evil. Yangxi, Yangchi and Yanggu are acupoints belonging to the three Yang meridians of the hand. These three acupoints with the word "Yang" are located at the back of the wrist, which are important acupoints for protecting human yang in daily health care and commonly used acupoints for treating wrist pain in clinic. When in use, these three acupoints can be used alone or together.

Yangxi point+Yangchi point+Yanggu point, the combination of these three points has the effects of relieving swelling and pain, clearing away heat and expelling wind, dredging meridians and relaxing joints, and can be used to treat fever, sore throat, wrist and arm pain, and red eyes in clinic. According to the theory of "meridians circulate, attending to reach" in traditional Chinese medicine, the three yang meridians of the hand pass through the yang side of the arm and then reach the head and face of the human body. Therefore, these three acupoints can not only treat local diseases, but also treat diseases of the head, face and five senses. In addition, modern research has confirmed that stimulating these three acupoints can also enhance the body's disease resistance, thus achieving the effect of diminishing inflammation and reducing fever, and the effect is very obvious.
