“Ase points” refer to a kind of effective acupoints used in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment for various diseases of internal medicine, and the location with obvious color change on patient's skin is selected as treatment site. The method of diagnosis and treatment of diseases through examining the response of meridians and collaterals and acupoints on the body surface had been recorded in ancient books, however, it is rare during clinical acupuncture therapy to taking the color change on patient's skin as research emphasis, and taking these sensitive points as specific acupoints to conduct acupuncture-moxibustion therapy. The author explored and analyzed “Ase points” in terms of the nomenclature, acupoint selection method, and etc., and verified the application of “Ase points”, providing a new idea for clinical diagnosis and treatment methods of acupuncture-moxibustion.
