Summary: When undertaking chrono-acupuncture, it is essential for the practitioner to be a skilful handler of the esoteric knowledge and reasoning involved. If he is not skilful, the acupuncturist soon runs the risk of finding himself out of his depth and at this point he will not use information which is vital.
With a view to obtaining maximum benefit from treatment by acupuncture a logiciel has been devised which allows the therapist to avoid the complexities of the theory of the Zi Wu Liu Zhu associated with that of the Seasonal Points. By studying the texts and the interpretations of the different authors, the existence of the Jing Jin and of the Jing Bie is discussed as is also their treatments.
The synthesis of the analyses will serve as the basis of the computer programme which will provide for each technique (Jing Jin, Jing Bie and Yanagyia Sorei) a group of acupuncture points depending on the meridian chosen.
If it proves that certain" Qi holes " are not functioning, the logiciel will indicate this fact and will specify alternative points. ln short, a complete programme gives the opportunity to choose and carry out a treatment by acupuncture in depth and worthy of the great masters.
