Study on Lou Bidan's Acupoint Selection Thought for Cognitive Disorders in Autism Spectrum Disorders Based on"Treating the Heart and Brain Together"
Professor LOU Bidan believes that the main cause of mental diseases involves the heart and brain,and the dysfunction of the heart and brain is the main pathogenesis of cognitive disorders in children with autism spectrum disorders(ASD).At present,the clini-cal treatment of ASD is mostly simple scalp acupuncture.Based on the theory of"treating the heart and brain together",Professor LOU has proposed the acupuncture method of calming the heart and regulating the mind.The acupuncture method selects Shenmen(HT 7),Tongli(HT 5),Shaohai(HT 3)of the heart meridian and Neiguan(PC 6),and Daling(PC 7)of the pericardium meridian to calm the heart,regulate the mind,and improve intelligence.In the head,Baihui(DU 20),Yintang(EX-HN3),Shenting(DU 24)of the governor vessel are selected,combined with Sishencong(EX-HN1),Benshen(GB 13),which are combined with Shenting to form the"three needle point for intelligence"acupuncture group.In this way,the effect of dredging the governor vessel,regulating the mind,wa-king the brain and improving intelligence can be achieved.
