Tong Ren for Emotion
forum post
Hi Chad:
I work a lot with people who have emotional issues. I know the main points but am trying to refine a few things. 1. Are there points on the head for the limbic system especially amygdala and hippocampus areas.
2. what about PTSD or traumatic memory issues. I assume these are stored in the limbic system.
I wish there was a booklet on TR points for emotion. Maybe somebody is on to that.
Thanks
Sam

In previous replies we have discussed GB 13/C2 for these conditions. We GV 15 specifically to effect the limbic system, which is also helpful for any number of psychological related conditions. The majority of the psychological conditions and their points are discussed in the Beyond Acupuncture text and the Tom Tam Healing System text. Though that is not the only set of conditions covered.
For PTSD/Fear we often use the following as appropriate:
<ul>
<li>TH 16, TH 17 - Sky Window</li>
<li>GV 15</li>
<li>C2, GB 13</li>
<li>LV 3</li>
<li>KD 1</li>
<li>GV 22</li>
<li>GB 16</li>
</ul>
