Extra Point TIAN DONG, in the neck. how to know this point?

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

I’m studying the extra point (EX) TIAN DONG.
I found it in the theory section of your site, extra point , but i could’t find it anywhere.
I would be very interested to know where you found the exact location of this point … on bibliographic sources I mean, because I can’t find it in any book.
You describe the location of the point in this way: Center point between GV 14 and CV 22, below SI 16, behind LI 17 at the corner of the neck and shoulder, angling 45 degrees downward towards C7. where did you find this description?
I am very grateful to hear an answer from you.

From the very page on our theory section that tian dong appears, it says the following:

“Note: This point is not a standard acupuncture point, it was developed by Master Tam for use within the Tam Healing System.”

Following the link on that page would take you to more about the tam healing system that we utilize.

And a decent introduction to ways we look at the importance of points in that general area can be found within the article “MS Treatment Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency and the Sky Window Theory in TCM”
