Discussion on Acupuncture and Moxibustion Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Chest Pain from the Perspective of"Heartache,Pierce Jiujie"
Chest pain is one of the common symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD),which is mostly caused by dietary disorders and emotional disorders.Disorders of Qi rise and fall in the spleen and stomach are closely related to the onset of GERD chest pain,and are also the main reason for the symptoms associated with GERD outside the oesophagus.According to the basic pathomechanism of GERD,in which the stomach is out of harmony and the gastric qi is upwardly reversed,the treatment should be based on the principle of harmonising the middle and lowering the reversal,strengthening the spleen and stomach,and reg-ulating the qi.Based on the therapeutic method of"heart pain,when the nine joints are stabbed",the main acupuncture points and non-acupuncture points under the T3~T12spinous processes of the dorsal section of the dorsal section of the ducal vein,together with Gua Sha,cupping,bloodletting and other external treatments,regulate the qi of the spleen and the stomach and focus on the consolidation of the qi of the spleen and the stomach,which is effective for GERD chest pain.
