Summary

[edit]
C19 Chinese MS moxibustion point chart: Zhoujian
Title
C19 Chinese MS moxibustion point chart: Zhoujian
Description

Acu-moxa point chart, showing thezhoujian(Elbow Tip) 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: Thezhoujianpoint is located at the end of the elbow. Moxibustion at this point can cure scrofula (luoli). It is carried out on the right elbow if the left side of the body is affected by the disease, and on the left elbow if the right side is affected. However in the early stages of scrofula, moxibustion is first carried out on the left for male patients and the right for female patients. The efficacy is enhanced by simultaneously moxibusting thefengchi(Wind Pool) point. Thefengchipoint is located at the back of the head below the occipital bone (zhengu, lit. Pillow Bone), on either side.
