郝学君教授“三神穴”治疗抑郁症

Experience of professor HAO Xuejun in treating depression with ‘three-shen points'

郝学君教授根据"脑为元神之府"之说,以"脑神"立论,认为抑郁症的病机是脑之元神失调,进而脏腑损伤,气血郁滞而发病;同时,根据现代生理学理论脑具有主精神思维、感觉、运动、记忆和情志的生理功能,认为本病与脑关系最为密切。临床善用针灸治疗本病,以调神解郁为治疗大法,以"三神穴"(神庭、本神、神门)为主穴,随症加减取穴,临床疗效确切,手法简单、易于操作。

According to the theory of ＇brain is where spirit exists＇, Professor Hao Xuejun made a point from ＇mental activities＇, considered that the pathogenesis of depression was induced by the imbalance of the spirit in the brain, damaged viscera and qi and blood stasis. At the same time, according to the theory of modern physiology, brain had the physiological function of dominating spirit, thinking, feeling, memory and temperament and interest, he thought that disease had the closest relationship with brain. In clinic, this disease was usually treated with acupuncture. The basic treatment was regulating men- tality and relieving depression, the main points were ＇ three-shen points＇ （ shengting, benshen, shenmen）, and points were taken according to the situation of the disease. This method had accurate clinical effects and was easy to operate.
