阴市穴禁灸浅析

Initial analysis on forbidden to apply moxibustion on Yinshi(ST 33)

历代许多医籍都将阴市穴定为禁灸的穴位,然临床上以艾灸阴市穴治疗疾病者并不少见。故文章在总结目前常见的禁灸原因基础上,就这一禁忌进行深入探讨,认为以热证禁灸,防止血管和神经损伤,防止感染,影响美观,孕妇的腹部和腰骶部不宜施灸,毛发丛生处不宜灸,古代医家误判、后人继承等说法不足以阐明阴市为何禁灸。最终得出"阴市禁灸"这一禁忌缺乏科学依据支撑的结论,临床上但灸"阴市"一穴无妨。

Many medical books have deemed Yinshi（ST 33） as the moxibustion-prohibited-point in the past dynasties.However,moxibustion on Yinshi（ST 33） to treat diseases was not rare in the present clinical.So this paper made an indepth exploration on this taboo based on the summary of common reasons of moxibustion prohibited.It is thought that the heat syndrome was forbidden to apply moxibustion,in order to prevent vascular and nerve damage,infection and affect appearance.Abdomen and lumbosacral portion of pregnant woman and the body parts of hair growth were forbidden to apply moxibustion.The opinions as ancient physicians＇ misdiagnosis,inheritance of later generations and so on were not enough to clarify the reasons for making Yinshi（ST 33） as the moxibustion-prohibited-point.At last,the conclusion lacking a scientific basisas ＇forbidden to apply moxibustion on Yin shi（ST 33）＇ was obtained,and there was no harmto apply moxibustion on Yinshi（ST 33）.
