Abstract:
The brain-gut axis is an important channel to realize the functional integration of the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system between the brain and the intestine. It is the medium for the occurrence and development of depression and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of depression. From the perspective of modern medicine and TCM, based on the theory of "brain-gut axis", this article discussed the operation method and mechanism of acupuncture at abdominal ring acupoint in the treatment of depression in Zhuang medicine, in order to provide new ideas for acupuncture treatment of depression.
