Abstract

Pattern identification is derived from the Yin-Yang theory, which plays a key to the successful treatment outcomes. However, it is hard for acupuncturists to make a right choice when it comes to use of extra/A-shi acupoints alone, traditional acupoints only, or the combination of these acupoints in clinic. This model proposed is based on the Yin-Yang and conducted with palpation, which may make patients feel better in diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords: Yin-Yang; The five element; Pattern identification
