Acupuncture Treatment Ideas of Allergic Rhinitis from the Perspective of“Fluid Retention ;Disease”in TCM / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Abstact Biqiu is equivalent to allergic rhinitis in modern medicine. Ancient and modern literature has shown that acupuncture has a good clinical efficacy on this disease. However, there is no uniform specification in the choice of acupuncture methods (such as acupuncture, moxibustion, warm acupuncture and so on) and the selection of acupoints. According to the etiology and pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis and its clinical manifestations, Biqiu can be classified as“fluid retention disease”in TCM. This article tried to provide a new idea for acupuncture treatment of Biqiu from the perspective of the treatment of“fluid retention disease”in TCM.
