章節(jié)摘錄

插圖：Notes and CautionsThe operator's fingernails should be cut short. The operator should concentrate his/her attention when doing the massage. Avoid harsh, abrupt and too heavy manipulations. For patients with heart disease or hyper-tension, manipulation should begin with moderate force and gradually get to normal operation.The massage is not supposed to be practiced within two hours after a meal. Keep the room appropriately warm. Never manipulate with cool hands－rub them together to warm them up before massaging. It takes 45 to 60 minutes to complete either of the two sets of massage. After the massage, both the operator and the patient should drink a cup of water.Don't miss points. Except those on the anterior and posterior midlines of the body, all acupoints are symmetrically in pairs on the left and right sides from the midlines,If the Pinyin names of the acupoints are hard to come by, take the alphameric codes in the brackets.How tong is one curt？When locating the acupoints, besides using the body's landmarks such as the five sense organs, hairlines, nails, nipples, umbilicus, prominences and depressions of bones, creases on the skin, etc., the unit of cun （pronounced tsuen） is usually used. （Fig. 0-1）There are several means'to measure cun. When the middle finger of the person who receives the massage is flexed, the distance between the rwo medial ends of the creases of the interphalangeal joints is taken as one cun. Also, the width of the interphalangeal joint of the patient's thumb is taken as one cun. The width of the four （index, middle, ring and little） fingers close together at the level of the dorsal skin crease of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the middle finger is taken as three cun. （Fig. 0-2）
