Abstract:
The importance of pressing hand in clinical practice of acupuncture was explored in this paper. Through literature review and clinical experience, the role of pressing hand before, during and after acupuncture was summarized and analyzed. Before acupuncture, the pressing hand helped to diagnose diseases, examine pulse and locate acupoints; during acupuncture, it participated in needle insertion and reinforcing-reducing manipulation; after acupuncture, it played a role in needle withdrawal and regulate human body. It is indicated the pressing hand is a key role not only during acupuncture or reinforcing-reducing manipulation, but also participates in the overall process of acupuncture, which has great significance in guiding clinical treatment and enhancing practice level.
