Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To newly explain mechanisms of indications of Suliao (GV 25) and Shuigou (GV 26). METHODS: Analyze mechanisms of indications of Suliao (GV 25) and Shuigou (GV 26) in TCM "viscera-state doctrine" as the center and in combination with anatomy of western medicine. RESULTS: Not only put forward the corresponding relation ("re-preparation" of external forms) of the five sense organs with five solid organs, and also use this theory to explain the reasons why Suliao (GV 25), Shuigou (GV 26) and round some extra-ordinary points (Bijian, Bizhonggou) have same indications. CONCLUSION: This thinking has guiding significance for developing new acup-moxibustion treatment points and determining the angle and direction of needling.
