:: 遠(yuǎn)部取穴 Selection of Distant Points ::
是指在離病位較遠(yuǎn)的部位取穴，通常以四肢肘膝以下的穴位為主。如胃腸病取足三里，腰背病取委中，面口病取合谷，胸脅病取內(nèi)關(guān)等等。臨癥時，近部取穴和遠(yuǎn)部取穴可以結(jié)合應(yīng)用，以加強療效。
Slelection of distant points refers to selecting points located far from the diseased area. Generally, these points are located below the elbows and knees. For instance, Zusanli(ST36) is selected for epigastric and abdominal disorders.Weizhong(BL40) is selected for the disorders of back and lumbar region. Hegu(LI.4) is selected for facial disorders, and Neiguan(PC6) is selected for hypocondriac diseases. In clinical practice, selection of nearby points can be combined with distant points to strengthen the therapeutic effect.
