Abstract :

In the clinical case report, the author tried to prove meridians exist in human being and each meridian has its own characteristics with the photographs through treating a psoriasis patient. The patient was well treated with Sa-Am acupuncture and herbal medicine based on the theory of Sa-Am acupuncture. The patient was diagnosed with lung dryness and heat, liver fire and blood heat with 4 eastern medical diagnostic ways. So, the author chose three meridians to control lung dryness and heat, liver fire and blood heat. The three meridians were hand tai-yin lung meridian, hand shao-yang triple warmer meridian and hand tai- yang small intestine meridian. To try to tonify the characteristics of hand tai-yin lung meridian, the author tonified LU9, SP3 acupoints. To try to sedate the characteristics of hand shao-yang triple warmer meridian, the author tonified TW2 acupoints. To try to tonify the characteristics of hand tai-yang small intestine meridian, the author tonified SI3 acupoints. To understand above concepts, we have to know the meaning of six qi and five elements composing of the name of meridians. Six qi is the jargon meaning the expression of inside energies like contents, which means the jargon is for explaining easily changing energies inside. Five elements is the jargon meaning the expression of the energies of the structures like bowl, which means the jargon is for explaining unchanging and fixed energies of outside structure. Tai-yin means moisture and earth, shao-yang means ministerial fire (mutual fire), tai-yang means coldness and water from the view of six qi. Lung corresponds to metal, triple warmer corresponds to ministerial fire and small intestine corresponds to fire from the view of five elements. By the concepts of six qi and five elements, we can assume what kinds of characteristics 12 meridians have.
