Acupressure scalp meridians

Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

See our scalp acupuncture page for the point information. However, scalp acupuncture is better done with acupuncture than acupressure as the effectiveness relies heavily on longer needling techniques which create multiple points of stimulation and sustained stimulation.

I&#39d call them skull rather than scalp meridians for starters. Most likely, you&#39re more interested in the points than meridian lines. Stimulation of the points on the skull can be very powerful because you are working at the deep level of bones. Receivers very often see celestial lights and have out of the body eperiences. It can be a most powerful kind of bdywork.

Of course, the points or meridians you use should be what&#39s appropriate for your patient &#39s condition. But to answer your question, the most commonly used are the governing and the Gallbladder meridians. When you come to the occiput, that&#39s the domain of the Gallbladder and the Urinary Bladder meridians. That&#39s the main thoroughfare between the head and the body and a whole career can be buit on expert work there.

Yes, not much is written but I encourage you to explore and find your own bearings there. It&#39s a most fertile territory.
