Preface
Acupoints have been recorded by name and location in East Asian medical texts for a very long time. This site draws those locations against the standard that WHO set out in 2008 (361 points), and adds how far present-day research has tested each one, with stars and sources.
Where the points on this site are. Select a name to see its diagram and how to press it.Points that exist on both sides are shown on one side only.
What this site commits to
- Locations are shown in diagrams.
- Point locations and codes follow the WHO standard of 361 points.
- No promises of effect.
- We show how far each point has been studied, with stars and sources.
- Warning signs come first.
- Each page opens with the situations where you should see a doctor rather than press.
- No guessing at diagnoses.
- We point you to the kind of doctor to ask, and no further.
