中醫(yī)針灸、方藥并用源流紀(jì)略

Physicians of various dynasties have accumulated rich experience in clinical practice based on the thoughts of "acupunture and medication as the same source" and "treating the same disease by using both acupuncture and medication". The theories, clinical significance and therapeutic regularities of the combined use of acupuncture and medication are found in different medical works, though no book is available to specialize them. This paper deals with the origin of the combined use of acupuncture and medication, in an attempt to promote the development in this area and the cause of traditional Chinese medicine.
