Various Acupuncture Points

Regarding specific bodily landmarks, acupuncture points are anatomically defined skin regions. According to the traditional Chinese pictographs for acupoints, the skin contains openings through which qi energy can pass. Electrodermal measures are a reliable way to find these acupoints. When body acupuncture sites are stimulated, a "De Qi" sensation known as a dull, deep, aching feeling is frequently experienced. An acupuncture point in the ear can be recognised only when there is pathology in the appropriate body part. Pressure applied to an active auricular point may or may not be accompanied by a sharp, piercing sensation. Chinese Herbal Medicine Green Hill are in the shallow skin depth directly above the cartilage that makes up the auricle. 

 

Types of Acupuncture Points

There are numerous subcategories of acupuncture sites. One method divides the points into groups based on their relation to recognised ten-dino-muscular and brain structures. At these places, maximum muscular contraction is accomplished with the least electrical stimulation. Type II points are situated on superficial nerves at the dorsal and ventral midlines in the sagittal plane. Type IV points are found where tendons link muscles, while type III points are found in regions with a high density of superficial nerves and nerve plexi.
