OBJECTIVETo study on relation of indications of Back-shu points of zang- and fu-organs with The Bladder Channel of Foot-Taiyang.

METHODSWith analysis of origin of Back-shu points of zang- and fu-organs and their indications, the relation of Back-shu points with the incidental and fundamental aspects, theory of qi-flow, and the characteristics of the parts of indications of acupoints reflected by Back-shu points, relations of indications of Back-shu points of zang- and fu-organs with The Bladder Channel of Foot-Taiyang were studied.

RESULTSIndications of Back-shu points, a group of acupoints on the circulation route of The Foot-Taiyang Channel, are not found in the channel, which is difficult to explain from twelve channel theory. However, the relation of the incidental and fundamental aspects, theory of qi-flow, and the characteristics of the parts of indications of acupoints with the indications, and the branches of channels presented due to channel tropism of acupoints, etc. contribute to explain the indications of Back-shu points for diseases and syndromes of five zang-organs and six fu-organs.

CONCLUSIONThe relation of indications of acupoints with disease groups and circulation route of channels can not be discussed simply by Miraculous Pivot . Channels.
