Second, the analysis of ancient ban ban needle moxibustion acupoint

The statistics, the ancients summed ban ban moxibustion acupuncture points , a total of 70 points can be broadly divided into three categories :

( A ) , a simple ban needles : These can be divided into two categories. A class is an absolute contraindication , mainly 24 ( otherwise the milk and brain household as acupuncture points are contraindicated ) , and certain parts of the body of points: If the ridges ( located on Du ) , Yin shares the knee patella Department some points of kidney ; axillary shares under various silver and Mukuang , area and other points around the joints . The remaining eight points, is conditional that a relative contraindication , such as gu , Sanyinjiao is for pregnant women , Shimen against woman , Cloud Gate , Quepen , shoulder well in acupuncture had an accident -prone situation under deep , red Yang is improper acupuncture easily cause bleeding.

Ban needle entry point to the head , abdomen and upper limb based. It also includes a small chest and back and leg pockets . The reason why the ancients as a ban on needle point , probably the following reasons : First, some of the above points in vital organs or blood vessels, improper acupuncture accident prone , head and face and chest , as some of the points , which is must pay attention to the clinical setting ; followed by the production of rough ancient needles in acupuncture process, especially the blood vessels can lead to organ damage , such as the red sun , bearing weep and other points of taboos may be relevant ; addition, the lack of disinfection ancient also important causes of concepts and methods , resulting in infection acupuncture as taboo , such as Shenque taboo that with this.

Ban handed down from ancient acupuncture points or parts , either absolute or relative contraindications from existing clinical practice, there is no absolute contraindication points. Can be divided into three cases : one is a relative contraindication , which is prone to accidents acupuncture points , now called the danger point, as some point bearing weep , shoulders well , Quepen abdomen and chest and back , these points Here are larger or more important blood vessels , nerve trunk or major organs. Improper needle depth or direction may cause varying degrees of damage ; some joints , acupoint injection into the joint cavity can cause irritation and other adverse reactions. Secondly, whether it is a relative contraindication to yet further evidence , such as: gu with Sanyinjiao role of oxytocin have been some preliminary evidence , the two women’s menstrual acupuncture points can cause vaginal bleeding , there are small amounts of data ; But whether pregnant women to promote their abortion side effects have not been reported ; Third, there is no taboo , such maximum . Especially Shenque , ” Acupuncture and B by ” explicitly pointed out : . ” Ban can not stab , stab the cause ulcers ulcer vector of evil who died died ” Modern large number of clinical practice shows that , as long as strict disinfection , can acupuncture, there is no taboo. Another example Shimen points, as the ancients said on whether the woman has never pregnant effect, modern people have observed its contraceptive effect , and failed to be confirmed , so there can be no taboos.

( Two ) , a simple ban moxibustion class ; simply ban moxibustion points contained in the ancient medical books of 45 points ( otherwise the milk and brain household as acupuncture points are contraindicated ) . Can be divided into the following categories. Deep hole of a class that has an important organ area , there may be unexpected after moxibustion. Wind House, dumb door hole as deep medulla and spinal cord ; people met , the Commission has an important medium- deep blood vessels ; Tianfu , Zhou Rong , deep fluid, dove tail, belly deep sorrow and other important organs. Since ancient times to direct moxibustion , acupuncture , although not as direct damage and organ , but may also occur unexpectedly . Of course, whether these points are not the same as described in the ancient taboo , wind House Point , ” Acupuncture and B by “, said: “no non- moxibustion, moxibustion dumb people .” But ” Prescriptions” to the point moxibustion treatment horse epilepsy and other diseases, Li Dongyuan this point also moxibustion treatment entry gangrene . One for facial acupuncture points , such as ; Sizhu empty , save bamboo , eyes clear , plain Liao , Liao Wo , Ying Hong, Quanliao , Shimonoseki , etc., as noted above , the ancient directly produce scarring moxibustion moxibustion as the primary way , susceptible to damage delicate facial skin , prone to scarring and because the impact of beauty , probably the main reason ban moxibustion ; palm side of the third class of the hand or foot acupoints located , such as the red , small business , hidden white , kind of points the ban moxibustion, moxibustion may be more painful and could easily lead to injury, and likely to cause abnormal activities and other relevant organs , such as small business, hidden white three points can make a pregnant woman belly flab , fetal active. It is worth mentioning that such a ban moxibustion acupuncture ancient records are not consistent , as a small business point, first appeared in “Taiwan Miyao ” in the ” Acupuncture and B by ” and set out to be ” a strong moxibustion .” Some other points may be related to many factors .

With the development of moxibustion techniques , especially the widespread use of moxa moxibustion can improve the area better control heat and temperature, and the increasing limitations and methods used scarring moxibustion , moxibustion damage caused basically can avoid , has absolute ban moxibustion point does not exist , except for relatively ban moxibustion taboo in some parts of the face and direct moxibustion , the general moxibustion has also been meaningless .

( Three ) , acupuncture were forbidden categories: body acupuncture were a total of three points is forbidden . An occasion for the fish hole , the hole in the needle ban formulation , first appeared in the “Q • thorn ban “: ” sting belly of the fish , retraction is swollen ” ; ban moxibustion , is found in ” Introduction to Medicine ” book. Investigate the reasons for its taboo nothing more than the several modern This point has already lifted . Another point for the milk in the hole , but on this point there thorn moxibustion described in some ancient books . Such as: Jin Dynasty ” elbow Emergencies ” contains : Death epilepsy treatment ” may moxibustion three strong” ; Another example : ” bronze acupuncture acupoints map” that: ” differentiable thorn -thirds .” Nor indicate an absolute contraindication . But modern thorn moxibustion has been no reported only as a symbol of a given point . Three brain households, the ban on needle point , the earliest record found ” Acupuncture and B by ” rather ban moxibustion say , then it appears to the Qing Dynasty . Brain households, as Du hole, hole near the foramen magnum , is probably one of the reasons the ancients in acupuncture have occurred during the accident , the hole has been released modern taboo .
