Ghost

Points of Sun Si Miao



The 13 Ghost Points were compiled from the Tang Dynasty Daoist
practitioner Sun Si Miao to treat demonic possession of what we would now
diagnose as severe psychiatric disorders. The dilemma western culture posits: is it a
real entity or an internal demon that exists only in the patient's mind? This has no
meaning in Chinese Medicine. These conditions are considered interchangeable; the
only difference is in the point of view.

The Ghost points are used in 3 sets of 3 points, and a 4th set of 4
points, with each successive set representing a deeper level of pathology.
