3 註解
開闔補瀉(reinforcing and reducing method by keeping hole opened or closed)爲針刺手法,針刺補瀉法之一[1][2]。出《黃帝內經》。指以出針時是否按壓針孔或搖大針孔來進行鍼刺補瀉的操作方法[3]。《黃帝內經素問·刺志論》:“夫實者,氣入也;虛者,氣出也……入(刺)實者,左手開針空也;入虛者,左手閉針空也。”《黃帝內經靈樞·官能》記載瀉法用“搖大其穴,氣出乃疾”;補法則“蓋其外門,真氣乃存”。後世醫家在此基礎上發展成開闔補瀉[3]。即以出針後輕輕揉按針孔,使其閉合不令經氣外泄者爲補法;出針時邊退邊搖,針出後不按針孔,以使邪氣外出者爲瀉法[3][3]。
