Top 10 points for major body functions, organs and parts

Final selection of points from this index :

1. High scores with multiple authors indicate the most important points. If the first point listed has a score <.40, this indicates poor agreement between authors and may indicate a prescription of doubtful value.

2. The first 4 to 6 points in each prescription list are the most frequently cited points. Additional points may be added from those remaining, if other symptoms indicate a need for them.

3. Prescriptions with less than 2 authors or with little variation in point scores may be of doubtful value !!

4. When needling, always provoke TehQi (needle sensation). Expect poor results if poor needle sensation is reported !!

5. The number of needles per session should normally be less than 12 (use as few as possible).

6. Alternate prescriptions if in doubt or if result is not satisfactory after 1-2 sessions.

7. Research workers seeking "non-active" points for "placebo" or "control" groups of subjects should not use any point listed in these prescriptions. As "active" points, they should consider points in the Top Ten of each list.

8.The most common prescription for local or organ problems is: local points + AhShi points + distant points.

!! Always seek the tender (Trigger) points !!
