  1. Point Indication ReviewPoint Selection • ACR class 11

  2. POINT SELECTION METHODS • Basic strategy: • 1) Select a Local Point • 2) Select a Distal point

  3. SELECTING LOCAL POINTS • Local points - on, over or very near the diseased area. • Most obvious method, yet very important • Should not be dismissed as simplistic or symptomatic • Much used in treating disorders of the organs.

  4. Examples include: • ST-25 or REN-8 for diarrhea. • REN-12 for nausea. • REN-17 for tightness of the chest. • L.I.-20 for diseases of the nose. • SI-19 for diseases of the ears.

  5. SELECTING ADJACENT POINTS • Adjacent points are located near the affected area. • Examples include: • SP-10, ST-34 or SP-9 for diseases of the knee joint. • L.I.-14 for diseases of the shoulder. • GB-21 or SI-11 for diseases of the breast.

  6. SELECTING DISTAL POINTS • Most frequently used method in acupuncture treatment. • The Ode to Elucidate Mysteries refers to the ‘four origins and three ends’. • Four origins - extremities of the limbs • Three ends - head, chest and abdomen

  7. Primary principle - choose a point from the involved channel. • Example: distal points from shaoyang channel (Sanjiao and Gall Bladder) will be selected for temporal headache, • distal points from yangming channel (Large Intestine and Stomach) will be chosen for pain of the face and forehead,

  8. distal points from taiyang channel (Bladder and Small Intestine) will be selected for occipital headache and pain, • points from the jueyin Liver channel will be selected for vertex headache.

  9. It is common practice to combine local, adjacent and distal points. Examples include: • GB-8, GB-20 and GB-43 for temporal headache. • ST-18, LIV-14 and GB-41 for breast diseases. • REN-12, REN-17 and ST-36 for Stomach diseases.

  10. SELECTING POINTS FROM ONE CHANNEL TO TREAT ITS INTERIORLY- EXTERIORLY RELATED CHANNEL • Most commonly observed in relation to the luo-connecting points, include: • L.I.-4 to assist the Lung function of distributing defensive qi. • L.I.-6 to promote the Lung function of regulating the water passages when this is impaired by exterior wind. • ST-40 to resolve phlegm due to disharmony of the Spleen.

  11. SELECTING POINTS FROM ONE PAIR OF THE SIX CHANNELS TO TREAT DISEASE OF THE OTHER • Examples include: • SJ-6 (hand shaoyang Sanjiao channel) to treat hypochondriac pain due to disharmony of the foot shaoyang Gall Bladder channel. • P-6 (hand jueyin Pericardium channel) to resolve stagnation of qi in the foot jueyin Liver channel in the chest and hypochondrium.

  12. SELECTING POINTS ACCORDING TO CHANNEL CONNECTIONS • Examples include • SP-6, the intersection of the Spleen, Liver and Kidney channels, to treat most diseases of the lower abdomen since all these channels pass through this area. • DU-14, the meeting point of the Governing vessel with all the yang primary channels to release pathogenic factors from the (yang) exterior.

  13. CROSS NEEDLING • Contralateral (“cross”) needling is commonly used either when the affected side is too painful to treat, or when, after needling, one wants the patient to mobilize the painful area. • Also used in acute painful disorders: select points from the ankle to treat the opposite wrist (and vice-versa), from the knee to treat the opposite elbow (and vice-versa) and from the hip to treat the opposite shoulder (and vice-versa).

  14. SELECTION OF EMPIRICAL POINTS • Frequently, the selection of distal points is determined by their historically established empirical effect. Examples include: • ST-38 for shoulder pain. • DU-10 for boils. • LU-7 for headache. • SI-4 for jaundice. • GB-36 for rabies.

  15. CHAIN AND LOCK POINT ASSOCIATION METHOD • Select points from the shoulder, elbow and hand or wrist to treat disorders of the upper limb and from the hip, knee and ankle to treat disorders of the lower limb.
