The method of measuring bone density was first found in the chapter "Bone Density of Lingshu". Men and women, old and young, tall and thin, are all the same. If the wrist-to-elbow stripe is twelve inches, that is, the distance is divided into twelve equal parts, and the points are taken as the basis.
Bone measurement, also known as bone measurement, fracture method, referred to as bone measurement.
When people choose acupoints for health care, they often encounter a problem, that is, how to find the position of acupoints accurately. The commonly used acupoint positioning methods include body surface marking, bone measurement and finger measurement.
There are some fixed and obvious marks on the human body, and the method of selecting points with these marks is called body surface positioning. For example, above the tip of the nose is a plain point; Between the eyebrows is the Tang Yin point; Between the two nipples is the Zhongshan point; The navel is the Shenque point and so on.
The finger comparison method is based on one's own fingers and is used to measure acupoints. This method is also called the same size. For example, Zusanli point can be located by measuring four fingers (3 inches) of the palm from the outer knee. Take the lateral side of calf and tibia 1 transverse finger (1 inch) as a vertical line, and the intersection of horizontal line and vertical line is Zusanli point.
