The so-called acupuncture and moxibustion health care is to stimulate some acupoints of the human body with filiform needles, stimulate the qi of meridians, and make the human body metabolize vigorously, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and prolonging life. This health care method is acupuncture health care. Although the methods of acupuncture health care and acupuncture treatment are basically the same, the emphasis is different. Acupuncture treatment focuses on correcting the excess of yin and yang and qi and blood, while acupuncture health care focuses on strengthening the body and improving the metabolic ability of the body, with the aim of preserving health and prolonging life. It is precisely because of their different views that there are certain differences in acupoint selection and needle use. If it is used for health care, the stimulation intensity of acupuncture manipulation should be moderate, and it is not advisable to choose too many points, mainly those with strong curative effect.
