Association between skin microecology and acupoint sensitization

Abstract

The skin microecology interacts with the immune system for a lifetime, and the skin microecology is in dynamic balance in the physiological state. The flora with the same physical and chemical properties on the surface of the skin can maintain a relatively stable state in a certain period of time, and there are dynamic changes of microflora in both physiology and disease state. Combined with the study of the relationship among skin microorganisms, skin diseases and visceral diseases, the relationship between skin microecological changes and visceral pathological state is explored. On this basis, it is proposed that the sensitized acupoint is an abnormal manifestation of the body homeostasis imbalance on the body surface, and the local substance variation on the sensitization acupoint may induce microbial changes. In terms of treatment, moxibustion and other surface treatments that function through immunity may also involve microorganisms.
