Generalization of the location method of ashi points
Through analyzing the every textual research literature on the origin of the location method of
ashi
points
it is pointed out that the location method of
ashi
points has been generalized. It is known through systematic research and theoretical identification that this method refers to the simple way to locate the points
originated from the folk
and it is widely used to find the sites for pain relief when compared to the official education of meridians and acupoints
as well as treatment. At the time with the shortage of medical services and supplies
the poor people had no alternative
which results in a certain limitation. Modern acupuncture practitioners must associate
ashi
points with the acupoints of fourteen meridians and the ext
raordinary points in clinical practice
and deepen the exploration with modern medical knowledge and technology adopted.
