Acupuncture points: chinese names and translations

[Guest guest]

If you want to explore the meaning of the point names, I highly recommend a

beautiful book entitled 'Grasping the Wind' - paradigm publications, by

Wiseman and Boss. Explains the significance of the name of each point.

Thanks for the recommendation.

 

The names of these points often will give insight into what they do and help

people remember. Sort of like memory aids.

>BL 2: Zanzhu - gathered bamboo/drilling bamboo

 

Thanks for the list. The one that always has stood out for me is Bladder-2,

Drilling Bamboo because when I work it using acupressure I get a drilling

sensation.

 

I just found out that this is another point in addition to GB-37,

Brightness, for eliminating " floaters " in the eyes. I've always used it for

sinus congestion due to Wind. (It expels Wind.) I didn't know about its use

for floaters.

 

It's worked very well for me for sinus congestion. Since starting to use

this point, I've never been as congested as I had been in the past. Before

when the wind blew, it was like I was totally locked up immediately. Now,

it's a lot milder when I do have problems, and easier to get rid of We've

had some very fierce wind yesterday and today, and so far I'm open though I

was sneezing a lot this morning. There hasn't been much in the way of

discharge - just a little when I sneeze.

 

I've noticed with other points besides BL-2 that acupressure not only can

clear up symptomss, over time it gives increased resistence to problems.
