hi all. i was looking for a treatment protocol for general knee problems but could not find one in the conditions section. i consulted the arthritis treatment protocol which i figure is at least partially applicable, but still: do you...

hi, i have a persistent pain exactly in SI3 in my left hand since i put a needle there about a week ago. the pain is of stinging character and it only occurs when i rub this point or when...

hi, can anybody recommend a set of points that I can treat to overcome patella problems due to overcharge? Thanks for your help! miguelín

can anyone suggest acupuncture points that i can treat myself by massaging or by applying a moxa roll in order to help eliminate a stinging pain in the Sinus frontalis when diving? i have just recently recovered from a cold...

my acupuncturist has been trying to explain to me a concept called the "6 levels" which i find extremely confusing. this concept seems to be based on 6 meridian couples which together form the 24 hour cycle of the day,...

hi, while studying names and locations of the bladder meridian points from various documents i have come across an inconsistency that i do not understand: all the points from bladder 36 to 54 seem to have two alternative numbers assigned...

i am trying to understand the original meaning behind the chinese letters for the word "taichi". i have a couple of hints regarding its three parts but i am looking for a more precise explanation. can anyone suggset a website...

i found various chinese names and english translations for pericard number 6, among others shao fu, ro kyu, springwater point, palace of sorrow and center of (manual) labour. i am not a pro so maybe i am mistaken, but i...

my chinese tai chi teacher told me that a pressure point that she calls "yung chuan" on the sole of the foot serves well in stimulating the heart. therefore, in many forms of tai chi, the foot is briefly set...

thanks, feng mei, i will try how that works out in the long run, hoping that the recommended points will work regardless of me actually not being much of a runner, be it long or short distance ;-)

i have had this condition ( elbow bursitis) a couple of times and it can become quite ugly. last time i stimulated the points you mentioned here in a couple of sessions and the symptoms more or less disappeared within...

just for the records: i applied punctual pressure to LI 19 and 20 several times within a couple of minutes. the next day i had no sinus trouble at all while diving. actually, i had also applied some rosemary essential...

that´s interesting. gonna discuss it with my therapist. thanks.

hi luke, you are right, of course. i am still learning the meridians and i was confused by the image that accompanied the sinusitis-related information on this site which shows actually the scapula region, of the small intestine meridian, i...

thanks, chad, this site is really a treasure of good advice. too bad the 2 mentioned points, LI 19 and 20 are on the scapula and thus hard to reach. but i have a massage ball with little knobs and...

chad, you are a great help. reading your advice again i found the link i had been missing: you cite "yellow tongue" as a Yang Ming indication and that´s exactly the condition that my teacher / acupuncturist has been treating...

hi chad,that sounds pretty good & reasonable for not being certain ;-) thanks a lot. miguelín

okay, thanks, i found it.would you also happen to know the REASON for this difference between old and new numbering? i am so persistent with this because i would think that a different numbering implied a different direction of the...

hi chad,thanks. i am not a physician, so my knowledge is very fragmentary. if i understand you correctly, then the KD1-effect is basically one that will calm down the nervous system, and this, in TCM, is, to a large extend,...
