Different Types of Acupuncture Points

previous page | contents | next page

There are many acupuncture points, each with a specific function. Part of the art of being an acupuncturist is the ability to combine specific points to achieve a desired effect. By selecting certain points, rather than others, the desired effect can be channelled to various parts of the body, if this is felt to be the necessary treatment strategy. There are around 365 acupuncture points sited on the channels, and many others sited off the channels. Certain points are selected to produce an effect, usually a combination of 2,3, or 4 points depending on the condition being treated.
