As to differentiations, they can be classified into blood stagnation syndrome of Du Meridian, damp-heat syndrome of Gallbladder Meridian, wind-cold-damp obstruction syndrome of Bladder Meridian, kidney-yang deficiency syndrome. Thus the therapeutic effect could be enhanced by methods of manipulation, acupuncture-moxibustion and usus internus of Chinese medicinal and the like under the guidance of meridian differentiation.
