The concept of ancient acupuncture;

The ancient meaning of acupuncture comes from Neijing. Acupuncture is a complicated and profound medical skill, not a monotonous medical skill to treat headache and foot pain. Whenever the five zang-organs control each other, they should be treated according to the relationship between the five zang-organs and the five colors, five flavors and five liquids, and according to their host, zang-fu and disease.

Treat five zang-organs according to their pathogenesis, five strains and injuries, and five pathogenic factors. It is nothing more than adjusting the imbalance between departments to make it balanced.

Based on the pathogenesis of ancient five internal organs, the experimental examples of its treatment are described later. The pathogenesis of the five zang-organs in ancient times: "All sores and itching belong to the heart, all wind and dizziness belong to the liver, all dampness and swelling belong to the spleen, all anger and depression belong to the lung, and all cold and cold belong to the kidney." According to the disease, tracing back to its ownership, thus curing it, all works.
