Classification name of acupoints. Refers to the use of tender points or other pathological reaction points as acupoints. Also known as indefinite point and Tianying point. This kind of acupoints generally depends on the disease, and there is no fixed position and name.
There are two ways to explain the existence of Ashi point:
According to legend, Chinese medicine was used to treat patients in ancient times, but it never worked. Once, the patient accidentally pressed somewhere, and the patient's pain was relieved. Then the doctor groped around the place, and the patient shouted, "Ah ... that's it, that's it." The doctor had a long injection, and the course of the disease really improved. So this special point was named "Ashi Point".
According to the Chinese medicine book "A Thousand Daughters' Prescription", "There is a saying that people have a pain, that is, pinch it. If they are in their place, they will become a pain, that is, Yunzheng. Moxibustion is a test, so luck is a point. "That is to say, you don't have to stick the needle on the acupoint when you use it. If it works, stick it in the right place, if it can achieve the effect. These special pain points are called "Ashi points".
