Each vessel has a confluent point, whichwe have noted earlier. In some cases
the confluent point is a point of
intersection of the vessel with a regular
channel, in some cases it is not.
The confluent points are often paired,and the pairs have specific areas ofinfluence

This is a very simple methodology forconstructing point combinations. It usesprimarily very commonly-used points;
other points with similar or more
specialized functions may be substitutedas you like.
Some points are marked with an asterisk(*); this means the point should betreated by moxibustion.

36/105
Examples
Bleed all twelve jing-well points in forexcess-type (Heat) collapse
LU-11 for acute sore throat and mumps. HE-9 for Heart or chest pain
Several Jing-Well point indicated formania
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
37/105
Ying-spring Points Where the Qi of the Channel glides Clears heat from the channel/organ (fire
& water point) Effect on the opposite end of the channel
(less than Jing-well)
Can substitute for Jing-well Can combine w/Shu-stream to treatZang
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
38/105
Examples LU-10 clears heat from the throat and/or
Lung
KID-2 clears deficiency heat from theKidneys LIV-2 clears Liver fire
GB-43 clears heat from the GB channel. ST-44 clears fire from the Stomachchannel
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
39/105
Shu-stream Points Where Qi of the Channel begins to pour Yin Channels: same as Yuan-source pts
Heaviness &/or pain of the joints Combine w/ Ying-spring to treat the Yinorgans
Yang Shu-stream: channel stagnation Diseases which come and go - chronic
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
40/105
Examples
LU-9, SP-3, HE-7, KID-3, LIV-3 all tonify
their associated zang (Shu-stream +Yuan-source)
GB-41 disperses qi stagnationthroughout the shaoyang channel
SI-3 for all disorders of the neck

Mother-Child Points
AKA, Tonification (Supplementation)and
Dispersion (Sedation) (Draining) Points Based on Five-Phase (Five-Element)
theory, specifically Classic of Difficulties

Most often applied to Yin channels
Cl i f Diffi lti
7/29/2019 PTI Review1

Classic of Difficulties
69
In deficiency, tonify the Mother In excess, drain the Child Tonify first and then drain
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
47/105
Mother Point = Point representing phase/element preceding affected channel on
Sheng (Generating cycle)
Example: Lung Deficiency: Tonify LU9(Earth point on Metal Channel)
Child Point = Point representing phase/element following affected channel on
Sheng (Generating cycle)
Example: Lung Excess: Drain LU5(Water point on Metal Channel)
YUAN SOURCE
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
48/105
YUAN-SOURCE
POINTS Each of the twelve primary channels hasa yuan-source point where it is said the
original qi surfaces and lingers.
On yin channels, the yuan-source pointsare the same as the shu-stream points.
When the five zang are diseased, selectthe yuan-source points, they are the
primary point on the yin channels for this
purpose.
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
49/105
On the yang channels their importanceand indications they are quite differentfrom the yuan-source points of the yin
channels.
Their principal actions are to dispelvarious kinds of excess pathogenic
factors and to treat disorders along thepathway of their respective channels.
LUO CONNECTING
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
50/105
The actions of the luo-connecting points:
i. treating disorders of their interiorly-
exteriorly related channel or zang-fu,
ii. treating disorders in regions reachedby the luo-connecting channel

XI-CLEFT POINTS
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
54/105
the shu points are situated in the yangregion, they may be used to treat yin
diseases- most practitioners use theback-shu points of the zang more
frequently, while the front-mu points may
be favored for diseases of the fu.
Back-shu points do not treat channeldisorders; may be indicated in some
disorders of the sense organs.
BACK-SHU POINTS
7/29/2019 PTI Review1
55/105
Front-mu points have a wide application,including excess, deficiency, hot and cold
patterns; they can be used diagnostically
(as can the back-shu points).
The front-mu points their respective zangfubut not their respective channel.
The corresponding back-shu and front-mupoints are also frequently combined in
treatment.
