Here we introduce some of the most
important acupuncture points. If you press it and feel very pain
on pressing it, it means that there is something wrong in your
body. Depending on which point it is, the prediction meaning is
also different. Some points suggest pain or problem in stomach;
others may predict something wrong in liver.
Another important concept is that, the pain
point does not only predict the structure problem in the body,
but also emotional trouble too. This is because the fact that
each meridian is associated to various kind of emotion too. For
example, if the heart has trouble, one may have a feeling of
over irritable to laugh; if the liver has trouble, one may feel
easy to get upset; if the spleen is in trouble, one may feel
worry; if the kidney is in trouble, one may feel sad; and if the
lung is in trouble, one tends to crying.
1.
Hegu point
He-gu point is located on hand, between the
first and the second finger (see Fig. 1). If you feel much pain
when you press this point, there will be several meanings:
Fig.
1 (Hegu point)
(1). Local pain. It feels pain of course
when it is damaged on the thumb, wrist or surrounding tissues.
(2). Along meridian. If you feel pain on
this spot when pressing, it suggests that you may have trouble
on any part along the Shou Yangming meridian, from the outside
of the nail on the thumb up to the nose on the another side of
the face. Shou means hands in Chinese. Therefore if you have
pain on the front arm, elbow, top of the shoulder, front neck,
teeth, and nose, you may feel pain in this point. On the other
side, if you really feel pain on this spot, you can press or
massage on it, whichever ways you apply, could release pain on
the meridian pathway mentioned above.
Actually this point is responsible for any
trouble in the face and mouth.
(3). The name of this meridian in which the
Hegu point located is Large intestine. Therefore, if you have
any trouble, constipation or diarrhea, pain or intestine
obstruction, or stomach bloating, etc.
When you press this point to solve or
release pain. It is also good for the treatment any illness in
face, heat, eyes, nose, ear, throat, and fever.
2.
Zusanli point
Zusanli point is located on the outside of
the small leg, just under the knee (see Fig. 2).
Fig. 2. Zusanli point
Similar to the Hegu point, any acupuncture
point has three functional meanings when pressed pain, local
significance, along meridian, and related to inside health
problem.
(1). Local pain. It you feel pain on this
spot when press, you may have pain or swelling on the knee or
its surrounding area.
(2). Along meridian. If you feel pain on
this point when press, it suggests health trouble on any part of
the body along the Zu Yangming meridian, from the second toe up
to the front of leg, front of stomach, front but alone the line
passing the nipple, to the neck, to the side of face, to the
inner eye and inner end of the eyebrow, and to the upper and
outside of front hair edge. Zu
means feet in Chinese. Any pain along this long meridian can be
found pain on this point.
(3). The name of this meridian in which the
Zusanli point located is Stomach. Therefore, if you have any
trouble in the belly area, you can try to press this point to
solve or release pain. Also, even if you have no pain on this
point, or you do not feel anything wrong in your body, pressing
on this point everyday is very good to maintain your health. It
works much better if you can use moxa to warm it up everyday.
Press most of the acupuncture points on
this Large intestine meridian helps to release illness on
digestive system, head and face, eye, nose, mouth, teeth, mind
aspect.
3.
Taichong
Taichong point is located on the back of
foot (see Fig. 3).
Taichong point belongs to Liver meridian.
If you feel pain on this point, it means:
(1). You may have pain on your feet, or
somewhere around the first and second toes, or on the ankle.
(2). You may have trouble along the liver
meridian pathway. This pathway goes from the first toe up to
ankle, to inner side of the leg, to the sexual organs, then into
stomach cavity and to the liver.
(3). Taichong point belongs to Liver
meridian, so any trouble in the liver may cause pain on this
point, hepatitis, or fat liver. Also, because the liver meridian
is much more associated to the emotional disorders, patients
with extreme stress are found pain on this spot so often.
Press most spots on the Liver meridian
helps to release illness on the liver, women system, front sex
part, as well as the illness alone the meridian per se.

4.
Zulingti point
Zulingti point is localized on Gall bladder
meridian. It is also on the back of the foot, but on the small
toe side (Fig. 3). If you feel pain on this point when press it,
it means:
(1). You may have pain or damage on the
outside of foot, on the small toe, or outside of ankle.
(2). You may have pain or other trouble on
the body surface along the Gall bladder meridian pathway. Since
this meridian mostly goes on the side of the body, so in clinic,
when the pain is on the side of body, we consider the Gall
bladder meridian first. The Gall bladder meridian goes from the
small toe, up to the outside of legs, outside of stomach,
outside of neck and the outside of head, then finally ends at
out end of the eye (Fig. 4a, 4b, 4c).
If you also find a pain spot on the end
point of the meridian, the name of which is Tongziliao (the
starting point of the Gall bladder meridian), you should feel
much confidence that the trouble is on this meridian. Press on
Tongziliao point, you can release pain on the small toe (the end
point of the meridian). If you press on Zulingti, you can also
release the pain on the side of the head – it is good for the
treatment of migraine too.
(3). Zulingti belongs to Gall bladder
meridian. So any trouble in the gall bladder might cause pain in
this point when press. The trouble could be infection or gall
bladder stones. This is one of the important point we use to
stimulate expel of stone from the gall bladder.
Press most acupuncture points on the Gall
Bladder meridian helps to release illness about gall bladder,
side part of the body (such as migraine, side rib pain), eye,
ear, throat, emotion, fever, as well as the illness alone the
meridian.

Gongsun point
Gongsun point (Fig. 5) is located in the
Spleen meridian. It is in the inside of the foot. The Spleen
meridian (Fig. 5a) goes from the inside of the big toe, up and
along the inside of foot, the leg and comes into the stomach, to
the spleen.

Fig. 5a. |
If you feel pain on this point when press,
there may suggest:
(1). You have pain on or close to this
point: on the toe, or on the ankle.
(2). You may have pain alone the Spleen
meridian, such as on the inside of small leg, on the knee, or on
the groin.
(3). You may have some trouble in the sugar
and cholesterol metabolism, or is with overweight. For people
with allergic reaction, this point is also pain, since one of
the function of the Spleen system is to monitor the outside
stimulation. It works as sensor. Allergic reaction means that
the Spleen as organ or as the meridian is too sensitive, to
transport the signal to the immune defense system to react. This
is Chinese medicine concept.
If you also have pain in the Yinlingquan
point (Fig. 5b), there is much more chance that there are
something in the Spleen system (as organ or as meridian).
Fig. 5b.

Yongquan point
Yongquan point is located on the bottom of
the foot (Fig. 6a). It belongs to Kidney meridian. If you feel
pain when you press this point, it may mean:
(1). You have pain on the bottom or on the
back of the foot.
(2). You may have pain alone the pathway of
the Kidney meridian. Kidney meridian goes up to the back of the
ankle, up alone the inside of the leg into the stomach and then
into the bladder and kidney.
(3). You may have trouble that related to
the Kidney system in the body. Kidney system (the TCM concept)
contains the urinary function, reproductive function, bone,
teeth, ear (hearing ability), and brain functions too. If you
can feel pain on the Taixi point (behind the ankle), the chance
that you have trouble in the Kidney system is much higher.

common cold means a illness-causing factor (we call them Fire,
Cold, Wetness, Wind, or others) affects the body in the surface
lever. The Urine bladder is the first meridian that will be
affected by the illness-causing factor. Therefore if you have
common cold, press the starting points of this meridian, the
