Abstract:
The researches on the acupoint effect specificity were summarized to explore whether the integrality of the acupoint effect specificity existed and analyze the connection between the relativity and integrality of the acupoint effect specificity. The literature on the clinical and experimental researches relevant with the acupoint effect specificity was retrieved through CNKI from January 2007 to October 2017. A total of 39 papers met the retrieving criteria. Separately, in terms of the holism of TCM theory, the holism of meridian theory and modern research, the integrality of acupoint effect specificity was analyzed. The relativity and the integrality are indicated in the acupoint effect specificity. The integrality of acupoint effect specificity is closely related to the holism of TCM theory as well as the meridians. Just because of its integrality, the acupoint effect specificity is relative, rather than absolute.
