Acupuncture points directory

The following directory provides individual profiles for 141 of the most clinically important acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Each page covers the point’s precise location, classical actions, clinical indications, needling method and detailed clinical notes including key point combinations.

Acupuncture points are locations on the body where the Qi (vital energy) of the meridian channels is accessible at the surface. Stimulating these points with fine needles restores the smooth and balanced flow of Qi and Blood, addressing the root cause of illness. To learn more, visit the acupuncture main page.
