Description |
Acu-moxa point chart, showing theyaoyan(Lumbar Eyes) point, fromChuanwu lingji lu(Record of Sovereign Teachings), by Zhang Youheng, a treatise on acu-moxa in two volumes. This work survives only in a manuscript draft, completed in 1869 (8th year of the Tongzhi reign period of the Qing dynasty). It is illustrated with 84 charts, finely executed in colour.The text states: Theyaoyan(Lumbar Eyes) point, also known asguiyan(Ghost Eyes) is located to either side of the lumbar midline, in the two depressions that can be seen in the small of the back when the patient is standing upright. Moxibustion with small moxa cones at theyaoyanpoint can be used to treat lingering consumptive diseases (laozhai). Seven, nine or eleven moxibustions may be carried out. The number of times must be determined on the basis of the patient's physique and constitution. 1869 |
