List of acupuncture

points

This article provides a comprehensive list

of acupuncture points, locations on the
body used in acupuncture, acupressure,
and other treatment systems based on
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
 System of main meridians with acupuncture point
locations

Locations and basis

More than four hundred acupuncture
points have been described, with the
majority located on one of the twenty main
cutaneous and subcutaneous meridians,
pathways which run throughout the body
and according to Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) transport qi. Twelve of
these major meridians, commonly referred
to as "the primary meridians", are bilateral
and practitioners associate them with
internal organs. The remaining eight
meridians are designated as
"extraordinary", and are also bilateral
except for three, one that encircles the
body near the waist, and two that run
along the midline of the body. Only those
two extraordinary meridians that run along
the midline contain their own points, the
remaining six comprise points from the
aforementioned twelve primary meridians.
There are also points that are not located
on the fourteen major meridians but do lie
in the complete nexus referred to as jing
經絡). Such outliers are often referred
luo (
to as "extra points".[1]

There is no anatomical and physiological

basis for acupuncture points and
meridians.[2] In practice, acupuncture
points are located by a combination of
anatomical landmarks, palpation, and
feedback from the patient.[1]

Eight Extraordinary Meridians

The eight extraordinary meridians

(simplified Chinese: 奇经八脉; traditional
Chinese: 奇經八脈; pinyin: qí jīng bā mài)
are of pivotal importance in the study of
qigong, tai chi, and Chinese alchemy.[3]
Though many are listed, only the Governing
Vessel and the Conception Vessel
meridians have points not associated with
the previous 12 meridians.

Nomenclature
Some acupuncture points have several
traditional names, for example tài yuān ( 太
渊) and gui xin (鬼心) are two names used
for the 9th acupuncture point on the lung
meridian. The World Health Organization
(WHO) published A Proposed Standard
International Acupuncture Nomenclature
Report in 1991 and 2014 (https://www.wh
o.int/publications/i/item/9290611057) ,
listing 361 classical acupuncture points
organized according to the fourteen
meridians, eight extra meridians, 48 extra
points, and scalp acupuncture points,[4]
and published Standard Acupuncture
Nomenclature (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.go
v/pmc/articles/PMC2393122/pdf/bullwho0
0053-0028.pdf) in 1993, focused on the
361 classical acupuncture points.[5] Each
acupuncture point is identified by the
meridian on which it is located and its
number in the point sequence on that
channel. For example, Lu-9 identifies the
9th acupuncture point on the lung
meridian. The only ambiguity with this
unique systemized method is on the
urinary bladder meridian, where the outer
line of 14 points found on the back near
the spine are inserted in one of two ways;
following the last point of the inner line
along the spine (會陽) and resuming with
the point found in the crease of the
buttocks (承扶), or following the point in
the center of the crease of the knee (委中)
and resuming with the point just below that
合陽), found in the bifurcation of the
(
gastrocnemius muscle. Although
classification of the extra points often
tries to utilize a similar shortcut method,
where a numbered sequence along an
assigned body part is used, there is no
commonly agreed-upon system and
therefore universal identification of these
points relies on the original naming system
of traditional Chinese characters.
The tables in this article follow the WHO
numbering scheme to identify the
acupuncture points of the main channels.
For extra points the tables follow the
numbering scheme found in A Manual of
Acupuncture.[1]

Lung meridian
Abbreviated as LU, named 手太阴肺经穴;
手太陰肺經 "The Lung channel of Hand,
Greater Yin". This refers to the meridian
starting in the arm, the lung's association
with yin, and that it is considered more
easy to find.
