Function Of Acupuncture Points - Types Of Points

YinTang is indeed an extra point located between the eyebrows. It is commonly used in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine for calming the shen, which refers to the spirit or mind. This point is believed to help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation. Therefore, the statement "YinTang is an extra point, located between the eyebrows, and used mostly for calming the shen" is true.

The Lower He-Sea points are acupuncture points that are believed to have a strong effect on the corresponding Fu organs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. St 36 is the Lower He-Sea point for the Stomach, St 37 for the Large Intestine, St 39 for the Small Intestine, GB 34 for the Gall Bladder, Bl 40 for the Bladder, and Bl 39 for the Triple Burner. Therefore, it is true that the Lower He-Sea points are used to treat the Fu organs.

The He-Sea points are specific acupuncture points on the body where the qi, or energy, starts to flow deeper into the interior of the body. These points act as gateways for the qi to enter the internal organs and systems. The phrase "runs into the sea" signifies that the qi is moving further into the body, indicating a deeper level of healing and balance.

The correct answer is "bubbles (dynamic and superficial)". At the Jing-Well points, the qi is said to bubble up, which refers to its dynamic and superficial nature. These points are known for their ability to clear heat from the body. The term "bubbles" suggests a movement and activity at these points, indicating that the qi is not stagnant but rather flowing in a lively manner.

The Ying-Spring points are the first acupuncture points along the meridians. These points are known for their ability to clear heat from the body. When the qi "starts to flourish" at these points, it means that the energy begins to circulate more freely and become more abundant. This increased flow of qi helps to clear heat from the body, making these points excellent for treating conditions associated with heat, such as fever or inflammation.

At the Shu-Stream points, the qi "flourishes". This means that the energy or life force in the body becomes more active and vibrant at these points. It indicates that these points are particularly effective for clearing heat in the body and promoting overall well-being. The term "flourishes" suggests a state of growth and abundance, indicating that the qi at these points is strong and increasing in intensity. It is also mentioned that the qi "runs into the sea", which implies that it moves deeper into the interior of the body, further enhancing its effects.

The correct answer is "increases in abundance". At the Jing-River points, the qi refers to the vital energy in Traditional Chinese Medicine. These points are located where the qi of the meridian starts to flow more deeply into the body. The term "increases in abundance" suggests that the qi becomes more abundant and plentiful at these points, indicating a strengthening and deepening of the energy flow.

Yuan-Source points fulfil this role

Front-Mu points become diagnostically tender. They can be used for deficiency or excess conditions, and are especially good for treating YIN deficiency, being on the front of the body.

Ahshi points are found through palpation and do not have a fixed location. These points are commonly used in acupuncture to treat pain, along with local and distal points. The term "ahshi" literally means "ah yes, that's it!" which refers to the practitioner's recognition of the tender or sensitive point upon palpation. These points may not correspond to traditional acupuncture meridians and can vary from person to person.

Xi-Cleft points are specific acupuncture points where qi accumulates and gathers, and they may be tender when diagnosed. These points are commonly used for acute conditions and are effective in treating bleeding and pain. They are not typically used for chronic conditions.

Luo-Connecting Points serve multiple functions in the body. Firstly, they connect the yin and yang organs, such as the Heart and Small Intestine, allowing for communication and coordination between these organs. Additionally, they link together from the luo-connecting point of one channel to the yuan-source point of its pair, facilitating the flow of energy and promoting balance. Furthermore, they connect to the luo superficial channels, making them effective in treating pain in the channel, external invasions, and qi/blood stagnation. These functions make Luo-Connecting Points important in maintaining the overall health and harmony of the body.
