Acupuncture Formulas
Top Ten Points for Common Conditions - Appendix 1

The Channel Points of human acupuncture are coded as follows:
LU - Lung, 11 points
LI - Large Intestine or Colon, 20 points
ST - Stomach, 45 points
SP - Spleen - Pancreas, 21 points
HT - Heart, 9 points
SI - Small Intestine, 19 points
BL* - Bladder, 67 points
KI - Kidney, 27 points
PC** - Pericardium, 9 points
TH - Triple Heater/Endoctrine, 23 points
GB - Gallbladder, 44 points
LV - Liver, 14 points
GV - Governing Vessel (Dumai, dorsal midline), 24 points
CV - Conception Vessel (Renmai, ventral midline), 28 points
* with BL40=Weizhong; ** also called Heart Constrictor, or Circulation-Sex

Note: IVAS uses Liv for Liver (Rogers uses LV. This is to keep all points with 2-alpha, 2-numeric codes, for example LV03-Taichong, or X_35-Huatojiaji).

Other authors may use different conventions. In this system, the second branch of the BL Channel has BL41 (Fufen) at the scapular area (below T2), & BL40 (Weizhong) at the popliteal crease. The ST Channel has ST01 (Chengqi) infraorbital & ST08 (Touwei) on the meeting of the vertical & the horizontal hairline on the forehead.

New (NZ, NY, NX, NA, NL), Strange (Z, Y, X, A, L) & Hand (H) Points

These points are ordered as in the "Newest Illustrations of the AP points" (Med. & Health Publishers, Hong Kong, 1973):

Category OT (Other) Point Codes

These are personal codes for: 01=AhShi; 02=TianYing; 03=Segmental nerve; 04=Haemorrhoid point; 05=Local points for region; 06=Distant points for region; 07=points on Channel through area; 08=Periosteal AP; 09=Periincisional points; 10=Chieh Kou (Cut ends)

The total number of points (Channel, New, Strange etc + Trigger Points) in the database is 670.

Twelve Basic Laws of Point Selection

Successful acutherapy depends on the selection of effective points. There is very wide scope for individuality & creativity in point selection; very few Masters select exactly the same combination of points in any given case, but all Masters observe one, or several, of the following "Laws":

1. You will NOT NEED this Cookbook if you thoroughly know TCM theory & the uses & combinations of the Antique & Master Acupoints! Masters usually treat the root causes / main contradiction of the Qi-Xue-Ye imbalance by:
Eight Principles

Six Levels


Six Level Variant (Mirror Technique)









Five Phase Theory





Specific Points for Specific TCM Syndromes



Traditional Symptomatic Points, etc.
Excess/Deficient, Hot/Cold, Ext/Int, Yang/Yin

Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Jueyin, Shaoyin

left TH14 for problem near right GB30 ( Shaoyang at shoulder & hip)
left KI10 for problem near right HT03 (Shaoyin at knee & elbow)
right LI105 for problem near left ST41 (Yangming at wrist & ankle)
right SP01 for problem near left LU11 (Taiyin at big toe & thumb)
etc

Sheng-Mother Point to Supply
Sheng Son Point to Drain
Ko Grandmother Point to Bring Control (Tonify to Disperse; Disperse to Tonify)
etc

See "Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine" (Wiseman & Feng, 1998, Paradigm Publications, Brookline, Mass, USA, 945pp)

Add 1-2 points for the affected organ(s)/part(s), or more serious symptoms
2. Points according to the innervation or in same dermatome as the problem area or function. (The paravertebral & Huatojiaji (X_35) points are especially important).

3. AhShi (tender) points (trigger, myalgic, fibrositic, motor, REPP points).

4. Local points or points locally on nearest Channels.

5. Distant points on Channels controlling problem area.

6. Combine local & distant points or Yin & Yang points
(e.g. the YUAN (Source) point of the problem part/organ/Channel & the LUO (Passage) point of its linked Channel).

7. Points "Fore & Aft", "Above & Below", "Left & Right", "Circling the Dragon" (encircling the problem area).

8. Extra-Channel Points well known for their symptomatic effects:
Taiyang-Z09 in head/eye problems; Dingchuan-Soothing Asthma; Lanwei-Appendix; Zigongxue-Uterus; Huatojiaji-X_35 Points, etc.

9. Back & Abdomen combination: SHU (BL Reflex) + MU (Front Alarm) or points near the SHU & MU.

10. XI (Cleft) point of affected organ/Channel in acute diseases.

11. Scar / neural therapy to improve electrical conductivity of scars & soft tissue injury by needling, injection, laser, physiotherapy etc.

12. Tianying point - under the ulcer base, into the cyst etc.

Always seek the Ashi (tender) points, especially Trigger Points!

Final Selection of Points From This Index

Experienced acutherapists seldom work with fixed point selections. At a given session, they treat what they see, or feel, or sense, at that time. In later sessions, they may vary, or alternate the points. Frequent overuse of a point may create scarring, or reduce its efficacy for subsequent use.

If you use this "Cookbook" in your selection of points, be aware of the following:

1. High point scores (ratings), with multiple authors, indicate the most commonly used (important?) points. If the first point listed has a score <.40, this indicates poor agreement between authors & may indicate a prescription of doubtful value.

2. The first 4-6 points in each prescription list are the most frequently cited points. Additional points may be added from those remaining, if other symptoms indicate a need for them.

3. Prescriptions with <2 authors, or with little variation in point scores, may be of doubtful value !!

4. The most common prescription for local or organ problems is: local points + AhShi points + distant points.

5. When needling, always provoke Deqi (needle sensation). Expect poor results if poor needle sensation is reported !!

6. The number of needles per session should normally be <12 (use as few as possible).

7. Alternate prescriptions if in doubt or if result is not satisfactory after 1-2 sessions.

8. Research workers seeking "non-active" points for "placebo" or "control" groups of subjects should not use any point listed in these prescriptions. As "active" points, they should consider points in the Top Ten of each list.

Always seek the Ashi (tender) points, especially Trigger Points!

Structure of the Point Index for Body Organs, Parts & Function

The common formulas in Appendix 2 are sorted by their codings (Lesion Codes) to follow a regional sequence as follows:
Lesion Code
01xxxx
02xxxx
03xxxx
04xxxx
05xxxx
06xxxx
07xxxx
08xxxx
09xxxx

Body Function or Area
Emergency/First Aid
Head, its organs/functions
Neck, thyroid
Thoracic limb
Thorax, its organs/functions
Abdomen, its organs/functions
Pelvic limb
Skin & hair
General, immunity
For example, the sacral area is in the sequence 06xxxx (Abdomen) and the heart area is in the sequence 05xxxx (Thorax).
