Abstract:
The Seinetsugedoku (elimination of toxic heat) technique of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment usually involves needle insertion or bloodletting at acupoints such as Ch'u-Ch'ih (LI11), Wei-Chung (BL40), Ta-Chuei (GV14), Ho-ku (LI4), Nei-T'ings (ST44), Hand-Chings, and Foot-Chings. Fujimoto, the representative of the Hokushinkai group, devised a new Seinetsugedoku technique on the basis of the Huanglian Jiedu Tang described in “The Medical Secrets of an Official” and the theory of acupuncture and heat described in “Plain Questions” (chapter 32). This technique of associated points consisted of horizontal needle insertion into Ling-T'ai (GV10), bilateral TuShu (BL16) and Chi-Chung (GV6), and bilateral P'i-Shu (BL20). Treatment by this combination of points can markedly eliminate toxic heat in patients with febrile diseases in the Qi system. We confirmed this efficacy in 11 cases. Using this technique to treat patients with the same treatment for different diseases, we confirmed the range of conditions for which this Seinetsugedoku acupuncture technique is effective.
