The clinical application of fire acupuncture to improve the post-stroke spasticity was discussed based on Professor Shao Jingming's idea of treating Shen. We proposed the idea of regulating Shen of the channels and meridians as well as qi and blood, which was developed from Professor Shao's idea of regulating Shen of physician's body and mind and regulating Shen of patient's emotion and mind. The musculotendinous junctions, Dazhui (GV 14), Fengchi (GB 20), Baihui (GV 20), Xinshu (BL 15), Taichong (LV 3) and other points were selected for the treatment of post-stroke spasticity with fire acupuncture, and the clinical results were quite satisfactory. Two proven cases were provided.
