Discussion on the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Children Enuresis Based on the Theory "Kidney-Marrow-Brain" Axis and "Yin Heel Channel (阴跷脉)"
Guided by the theory of "kidney generates marrow", the study elaborates the viewpoint that the route of Yin Heel Channel (阴跷脉) is consistent with the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis from the perspective of the circulation of the meridians and the relationship between the

organs. Accordingly, it is believed that disease of
Yin Heel Channel and dysfunction of the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis are the core pathogenesis of children enuresis, and it is elaborated from the following three major aspects, firstly, insufficient kidney essence, dysfunction of the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis, secondly, disease of Yin Heel Channel and deficiency and cold in lower jiao, and thirdly, disease of Yin Heel Channel and loss of nourishment of Chong Vessel. It is proposed to use the mode of "firstly needle, secondly moxibustion, and lastly consolidation" to treat children enuresis. Needle is to adjust

The acupoints in Yin Heel Channel such as Zhaohai (KI 6), Jiaoxin (KI 8) and confluence points of the eight extraordinary vessels such as Waiguan (TE 5), Zulinqi (GB 41) are used, together with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Guanyuan (CV 4), Qixue (KI 13), Dazhong (KI 4).
