[Professor 's experience in the treatment of syndrome with fire needling therapy at lower -sea points].

syndrome is classified into five categories. Based on the syndrome differentiation of meridians and collaterals and theories, Professor proposed the fire needling therapy at the lower -sea points for five types of syndromes. Professor stresses on the flexible application of fire needling therapy for syndrome at the lower -sea points and innovated the unique five techniques of fire needling therapy, named lifting and threating needle of small amplitude at the lower -sea points, the stimulation along the relevant meri-dians before fire needling, detecting the sensitive sites by gentle pressing the relevant lower -sea points, combining the movement of affected upper limb or joint during fire needling, or combining with contralateral needling technique, and controlling the depth of fire needling based on the duration of sickness and depth of affected site. He pointed out that Shangjuxu (ST 37) is for skin syndrome, Zusanli (ST 36) for muscle syndrome, Yanglingquan (GB 34) for tendon syndrome, Weizhong (BL 40) for bone syndrome and Xiajuxu (ST 39) for vessel syndrome.
