Abstract

This paper focuses on exploring the importance of the pressing hand in acupuncture. Through the study of the relevant literature about pressing hand and the writers’ clinical experience, the effects of pressing hand were summed up and analyzed from three stages which are the effects of pressing hand before, during and after a acupuncture treatment process. Ahead of the acupuncture treatment, pressing hand helps to examine and sense acupoints and pressing hand can locate acupoints precisely; during acupuncture process, pressing hand helps to insert and withdraw needles and assists to apply the reinforcing and reducing manipulations; after withdrawing needles, pressing hand can organize and regulate human body and help to exert other reinforcing and reducing manipulations. The result shows that the pressing hand is a key role running through the whole procedure of the acupuncture treatment and the acupuncture manipulation process. Pressing hand also runs through from the diagnosis of diseases to the treatment. Pressing hand has great clinical significance in guiding treatment. At the same time, the pressing hand to some degree has its own advantages on the diagnosis of diseases and the treatment. Besides that, pressing hand is also helpful to enhance the practice level of acupuncture.
