Point combinations: some key principles

To start with and in a very general way, I recommend that you use several methods, select the fewest points possible and avoid selecting too many Yin or Yang points because we are essentially looking to restore a balance dynamic by an asymmetrical treatment of the antero-postero-latero-medial faces of the body.

We need to use both close and distal points, for example, 23V Shen Shu and 3R Tai Xi, 3RM Zhong Ji and 6Rte San Yin Jiao, 17 SJ Yi Feng and 3 SJ Zhong Zhu, 8VB Shuai Gu and 41VB Zu Lin Qi etc.

Use anatomical correspondences, for example, in the event of an ankle sprain on the 40VB area, puncture 4TR.

Use high / low combinations, for example, 3F + 4GI or in case of insomnia 7C + 6Rte, in case of constipation 6TR + 6R, in case of lumbago 40V or 60V or 62V + 26DM etc.

Treat the anterior / posterior surfaces, for example in case of numbness of the fingers or facial paralysis, 3IG + 3GI.

Combine the points on the left and right to increase the circulatory and analgesic effect.

We can puncture on the affected side and on the side opposite the focus of the disease, on the same meridian or on the meridian of the same name. For example, in case of migraine on the left, treat 5SJ on the left and 43VB on the right. If a point on the affected side is very painful, untouchable, the same point is pricked on the healthy side.

And of course, we can combine the methods !!!

We can treat the 4 limbs according to certain circulatory dynamics by choosing points for example, according to the symptoms.

For example, in case of edema of the 4 limbs we can treat the Ba Xie and Ba Feng non-meridian points.

We must also remember that puncturing 2 or more points along a canal increases the circulation of Qi and Blood and therefore the therapeutic effect. For example, in case of back pain, 40V + 60V + 65V, in case of stomach disorder, 21E + 36E + 44E, in case of irregular periods, 6Rte + 8Rte + 10Rte.

We can use the Biao / Li relationship and in case of elbow pain on the 11GI area, treat 5P, in case of nightmares, 1Rte + 45E.

We can treat on the channel of the same name and for example, in case of occipital pain, puncture 3IG + 62V, in case of meteorism (food stagnation), treat 36E + 10GI, in case of blocking of hypochondria, gastralgia, constipation, 6TR + 34VB.

In malaria, when the chills start, puncture Shou Yang Ming, Shou Tai Yin, Zu Yang Ming and Zu Tai Yin.
