Discussion on the Theoretical Basis for Acupuncture to Improve Knee Osteoarthritis from "Intestinal Microecology"

Abstract

The balance of the intestinal microecosystem is essentially consistent with the theory of "Yin Ping Yang Mi" in Chinese medicine. The imbalance of the intestinal microenvironment's homeostasis is closely related to the occurrence of diseases. Acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the disease state by regulating the stability of the intestinal microecology, which has a certain theoretical basis. By exploring the law of the body's meridian circulation, it provides a theoretical basis for studying the regulation of acupuncture on the intestinal microecology of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
