结合既往抗疫及针灸临床经验,拟制火针疗法针对新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的防治方案。火针疗法具有清热、祛湿、补虚、祛瘀、解毒的作用,主要针对预防人群、轻型和普通型以及恢复期COVID-19病例,主取督脉、肺经、膀胱经及胃经腧穴,并对儿童、年老体虚者、孕妇的特殊人群,加配身柱、"四花"(胆俞、膈俞)、支沟等穴。以期将火针疗法推广于社区及方舱医院中,作为中医药抗疫的有效补充。

Combined with previous clinical experience in anti-epidemic and acupuncture,the prevention program of fire needling therapy for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)was drawn out.Fire needling therapy has the effects of clearing heat,removing dampness,replenishing for the deficiency,removing stasis and detoxifying,which is mainly aimed at preventing populations,light and common types cases,and cases in the recovery period.Acupoints of governor vessel,lung meridian,bladder meridian and stomach meridian are mainly used in this program.For the special groups,such as children,elderly and weak,and pregnant women,Shenzhu(GV 12),Danshu(BL 19),Geshu(BL 17),Zhigou(TE 6),etc.are added.It is hoped that fire needling therapy will be applied in the community and square cabin hospitals as an effective supplement to anti-epidemic of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).
