"The Back Shu-points" are loci where the viscera are related to the body surface, and are the points into which the vital energy of the channels-collaterals is poured. They reflect and can be used to treat diseases of internal organs. When the viscera are in disorder, positive reaction areas, points and hard mass will appear on the corresponding "Back Shu-points". Acupuncture on "the Back Shu points" can cure diseases of the corresponding organs.
We have made clinical observation on the treatments by applying Xinshu (UB.15), Feishu (UB.13), Ganshu (UB.18) Pishu (UB.20), and Shenshu (UB.23) points. Each of them possesses its own special function, which can treat the disorder of the corresponding viscera and its subordinated organs. For example:
In treating a case of bronchial asthma, we used Feishu, Dazhui (DU 14) and Bailao points three times a week. After 8 treatments, the symptoms of asthma and cough were essentially controlled. We continued the treatment for three weeks before stop. Follow-up for two years showed no recurrence.
A patient had a severe headache with recurrent diarrhea for more than ten years. We used moxibustion with reinforcing method mainly on Pishu point. Headache and diarrhea disappeared at the same time after several treatments. There was no recurrence for more than a year.
Clinically when we are going to choose between acupuncture or moxibustion, using re-enforcing or reducing methods, we should always adhere to the principle or determination of the treatment according to the different symptoms and signs, thus the expected effects will be obtained. For example, once we treated a patient who had coronary heart disease in early stage which was diagnosed by electrocardiogram. At first, we injected vitamin B[1] together with vitamin B[6] into Xinshu point. After ten injections (the first course of treatment), it showed no improvement. In the chapter of Lingshu-Guannengpian, it says: "if the acupuncture is not effective, then moxibustion should be used". So we applied moxibustion on Xinshu, Gaohuang (UB 43) and Zusanli (ST 36) points. After the first treatment, the precordial pain was much relieved, and after the sixth treatment, the precordial pain and palpitation were markedly reduced. His appetite returned, the pulse rate became normal and patient was in good spirits. At the end of the second course of treatment, the patient clinically recovered.
