Acupuncture Formulas

This quick reference guide gives the most common acupuncture point formulas, listed alphabetically by condition. These formulas each contain many points applicable to the condition listed. For best results, use the fewest points possible in each treatment.

There is no hard and fast rule as to the choice of points. Various combinations are possible but all combinations use the Sensitive (AhShi, Trigger, etc.) Points, when these are present.
