[Brief analysis of the relationship between " sasa zhenhan" of foot- yangming stomach-meridian syndrome and stomach]

"Sasa zhenhan" is a word describing the syndrome of cold sensation, which is one of the foot-yangming stomach-meridian syndromes. The lesions of stomach and yangming meridian could cause changes of yang qi and superficial symptoms of the interior syndrome, leading to "sasa zhenhan". In this study, the specific manifestation of the "sasa zhenhan" is analyzed from the aspect of word meaning, and the relationship between the "sasa zhenhan" and stomach is further discussed through the perspectives of yang qi and the exterior-interior relationship. In addition, combined with typical clinical case, it is suggested that attention should be paid on the relationship between exterior and interior syndromes, and the clinical application of tongfu and tongyang method (activating yang qi and promoting qi circulation of fu organs) should be strengthened, which could expand the new thinking of clinical treatments for viscera diseases through acupuncture and moxibustion.
