Step two of the Extrarodinary Vessel Treatment Protocol is to choose and treat the appropriate back shu points. After removing the ion puming cords and needles from step one, you then treat the corresponding back shu points. If your primary pattern was a Yin Wei Chong Mai, for example, with SP 4 and PC 6 as the treatment points, you would now treat the PC Shu (UB 14) and the SP Shu (UB 20). The needles are generally retained for 10-20 minutes and 3 rounds of kyutoshin (or moxa on the head of the needle) are often used - usually only on the points below T7.
