  4. A. Method of Acupoint Selection • Selection of distal points~To select points which are far from the diseased area • Selection of left-right points~to select points which are on the contralateral side of the diseased area. • Selection of symptomatic points~To select the corresponding points according to some prominent symptoms.

  5. 1.Selection of the Local Points • Selection of local point~To select points which are nearby the area of the disease or the adjacent area of the disease.

  8. 3.Selectiong of the Left-right Points • Their characteristics are to treat diseases on one side of the body by needling points on the opposite side.For example,a patient who has lumbago or facial paralysis for a long time can be treated by selecting the related points on the opposite side.
