Acupuncture and moxibustion are collectively referred to as acupuncture. "Huangdi Neijing Disease Energy Theory": "Anyone with diseases can be treated with stone or acupuncture." Acupuncture is a method to prevent and treat diseases by using special needles and meridian points; Moxibustion is a method to prevent and treat diseases by smoking and burning meridian points with moxa as the main material. Commonly known as acupuncture therapy [1].
Acupuncture is a method to prevent and treat diseases through acupuncture. Acupuncture is to use different kinds of metal to puncture into acupoints, and the burning method is to ignite acupoints made of moxa to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. These two methods are often used in combination. Acupuncture originated in China, which is a summary of China people's long-term struggle against diseases and an important part of Chinese medicine. As early as the Stone Age, people used bian stone to treat diseases, and metal needles appeared in the Bronze Age. The principle of barbecue was gradually developed after people mastered fire. At first, hot stones and sand were attached to a certain part of the body, which was the initial hot ironing therapy. Later, branches and hay were ignited for local heating, and gradually a baking method based on wormwood was formed. With the establishment and perfection of the system of meridians and acupoints, the continuous improvement and perfection of acupuncture methods and the summary of rich treatment experience, acupuncture has formed a systematic theoretical system in the Jin Dynasty. Since then, it has been continuously developed and improved. The application and theoretical research of modern acupuncture has made unprecedented development. In particular, the experimental research has achieved gratifying results. For example, in the study of the essence of meridians, it is found that meridians are visible and sensory conduction and meridians have low resistance characteristics. In addition, the research and application of acupuncture instruments are rich and varied. In addition to the commonly used traditional stainless steel needle, there are modern methods such as electroacupuncture, magnetic needle, laser, microwave and ultrasonic. Acupuncture has a great influence in the world. At present, acupuncture is widely used in many countries in the world, and related experimental research is under way. At present, acupuncture treatment is still mainly based on filiform needle, with emphasis on basic techniques such as needle insertion, acupuncture, needle feeling, needle retention and needle removal. The baking method is still based on moxa. It can be divided into baking methods such as moxa pot, moxa stick and warm needle. The therapeutic principle of acupuncture and moxibustion is based on its functions of coordinating yin and yang, strengthening body resistance and eliminating evil, dredging meridians and regulating qi and blood, and the therapeutic scope covers internal and external diseases, gynecology, children, facial features and other diseases. The principle of acupuncture treatment is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, prescription and acupoint matching, truthfully diarrhea, tonic, heat-induced disease, cold-induced retention and so on. That is, the five methods of supplementing, purging, clearing, warming and regulating must be selected and applied according to illness, person, time and place to achieve good results. In the process of acupuncture, we should pay attention to the possible phenomena such as dizziness, needle stagnation and needle bending, and some important organ injuries may occur. In addition to general body acupuncture, there are skin acupuncture, intradermal acupuncture, ear acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, nose acupuncture, electroacupuncture, fire acupuncture and water acupuncture. Modern acupuncture anesthesia is created according to the principle of acupuncture analgesia, that is, selecting appropriate acupuncture points and inducing them for a certain period of time to make patients feel dull and undergo surgery. At the same time, great progress has been made in studying the essence and characteristics of meridians and acupoints and the regulating effect of acupuncture on various systems of human body by using advanced experimental methods and modern technology.
