This database is the result of hard work and accumulated clinical experience over more than 20 years of practice. It is presented here for the benefit of all practitioners and those who wish to broaden and enhance their knowledge of the acupuncture points and their traditional qualities.
This specific web-database is © to Shmuel Halevi Ph.D. Please do not copy or distribute the contents of this database.
Every meridian point name is web-linked to a sketch of the anatomical region where it is located. It is also linked (hit the
[ The meridian line) to its parent meridian sketch on my webpage, for quick and easy reference.
If you wish to locate an acu-point, you may either jump to its meridian group and then scroll down to it, or hit: CTRL "F" and type the point name or number. I.E.: L-7 or lieque etc. The same applies to a specific symptom or disease. I.E.: CTRL "F" then type: bronchitis, etc. Even if you search two words together, such as: frontal headache you will get as many as 6 points that treat this problem, along with some point-combinations.
You may discuss, query and comment on the contents of this database on our linked forum at: http://acumedico.com/discus
In order to ease your navigation between the points, here is a linkage map to each group of points:
