    Summary

    Acupoints exhibit both "nearby action" and "far action." This research highlights the neglected universal "nearby action" of acupoints, crucial for understanding acupuncture theory.

    Area of Science:

    • Traditional Chinese Medicine
    • Acupuncture and Moxibustion
    • Acupoint Physiology

    Context:

    • Acupoints are key components in acupuncture and moxibustion therapy.
    • The dual actions of acupoints, 'nearby' and 'far,' are recognized.
    • The 'nearby action' of acupoints has been historically under-researched and overlooked.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the differences between 'nearby action' and 'far action' of acupoints.
    • To explore the area, theory, and relevance of the universal 'nearby action.'
    • To address the neglect in the study of acupoint 'nearby action' and its impact on acupuncture theory.

    Summary:

    • Acupoints possess both universal 'nearby action' and special 'far action.'
    • The 'nearby action,' fundamental to all acupoints, has received insufficient research attention.

  • This study investigates the characteristics and theoretical significance of acupoint 'nearby action.'

    • Impact:

    • Deepening the understanding of acupoint functions.
    • Clarifying fundamental concepts in acupuncture and moxibustion theory.
    • Potentially resolving confusion in existing acupuncture-moxibustion theories by re-examining 'nearby action.'
