    Jing-Well Points

    The point at which the Qi emanates.

    Meridians start at Jing-Well points. They are located on the fingers and toes of the four extremities. Jing
    means 'well'. Indications are to review consciousness, fullness in the chest (below the heart) mental
    disorders related to the Yin organs and disease of the Yang.

    Ying-Spring Points

    The point at which the Qi glides.

    These points are located distal to the metacarpophalangeal joints or metatarsophalangeal joints and are
    used for febrile diseases. In the Yin meridians, the Ying-Spring point belonds to the Fire Element. This
    means that it may be very useful in the treatment of releasing heat from its related meridian or organ
    system. Also used for heat in body, changes in colour, disease of Yang channels, disease of the Zang.

    Shu-Stream Points

    The point at which the Qi pours through.

    The Shu-Stream point in Yin organs is also what we refer to as Yuan-Source points. This means that the
    stimulation of this point is able to build strength and energy in its related meridian or organ system.
    These points are located proximal to the metacarpophalangeal joints or metatarsophalangeal joints and
    are used for disorders related to heaviness in the body, painful joint conditions and disease which
    attacks intermittently.

    Jing-River Points

    The point at which the Qi flows.

    These points are located around the joints of the wrists or ankles and are used for cough and asthma
    due to pathogenic cold and heat, chills and fever, disease manifesting as changes in the persons voice,
    disease of sinews and bones.

    He-Sea Points

    The merge of rivers joining and emptying into the sea.

    These points are located around the joints of the elbows or knees. These points are indicated for
    perverse (counterflow) Qi flow such as diarrhea. Also used for disease of the stomach and disorders
    resulting from irregular eating or drinking, disease of the skin (Yang He-Sea points only).

    Xi-Cleft Points

    Where the Qi and Blood gather more deeply.

    Yuan Source Points

    Original Qi surfaces and lingers.

    Front-Mu Points

    Front-Mu Points are those points on the chest and abdomen where the Qi of the respective Zang-Fu
    organs is infused. They are located close to their respective related Zang-Fu organs. When a Zang or a Fu
    organ is affected, an abnormal reaction such as tenderness may occur in the corresponding Front-Mu
    Point. These points are significant in diagnosis and treatment of diseases of their respective Zang-Fu
    organs.

    Back-Shu Points

    Back-Shu are points at the back where the Qi of the respective Zang-Fu organs is unfused. They are
    located on either side of the vertebral column (on the first run of the Bladder channel) and are in close
    proximity to their respective related Zang-Fu organs. When any of the Zang-Fu organs malfunction, an
    abnormal reaction such as tenderness will occur at the corresponding Back-Shu point. These points play
    an important role in diagnosis and treatment of diseases in which their repsective Zang-Fu organs are
    involved.

    The Contraindicated (Forbidden) Points

    months of gestation (pregnancy) with any technique. This is due to their oxytocic effect
