> St. 36 Hi Mirva & Gye, Im back on line again. St 36 is 4 tsun

approx only ] below the knee cap and one finger breadth out from the bone,

the important point is that there is a small groove [the chineese call it a

river] that runs on a slight angle almost 90 degrees from the bone. You will

feel it quite easily, St 36 is quite a small point about the size of 2 pin

heads, so take your time in locating this point, put the needle in the

groove 1 tsun out from the edge of the bone, this is the true St 36.note

that acup

points are different sizes and shapes.To get the maximum effect accurate

location is essential and the correct angle of needling is important

depending on whether you are tonifying or sedating the point. Cheers

Murray.
