Answer to Question 1
2
Explanation: 1. Massaging an acupuncture site to treat neurological conditions is not done with a cup, for it is a complex system of massage.
2. Cupping involves placing a fire in a small glass to create a vacuum, then placing the glass on the back. This draws blood and lymph to the skin surface and decreases congestion.
3. Bleeding to remove heat from the body is done with leeches, not a cup.
4. Moxibustion is done by heating pulverized wormwood and passing it over the meridian points on the body.
Answer to Question 2
1
Explanation: 1. Puncturing the meridians engages the network points of the body where internal problems can be treated through acupuncture.
2. There are 365 points on the skin where the meridian lines emerge. These lines include body areas beyond where the bones and muscles intersect.
3. Meridians are identified in terms of yin and yang but do not represent specific yin and yang points.
4. Anesthesia response is not the goal of meridian puncture with acupuncture, though anesthesia can be accomplished through acupuncture.
