Abstract:
Analogical acupoints refer to the acupoints with similar functions or effects for certain diseases. From ancient and modern literature, teaching material, modern experimental research and clinical research, the existence of analogical acupoints in the human body is confirmed from multiple levels and angles in this paper. Each acupoint could be considered as analogical acupoint for many diseases, and the analogical acupoints of each disease are overlapped. Therefore, analogical acupoints are not only the basis and premise of acupoint compatibility, but also the basic elements of compatibility.
