Abstract:
In addition to the prone position or the supine position, some scholars have observed and discussed the therapeutic effect of acupuncture in other body positions, but their criteria are different and individual differences in body position have not been analyzed. According to the relevant discussions in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor and with reference to the clinical practice of acupuncture treatment, this article explores the criteria for body position selection, in order to provide guidance for clinical acupuncture treatment.
