Usually one or more of these is sensitive: ST ,SP, SI, LI and maybe LV. I would use some Cookbook Points [like PC06, ST36, GV02] in all cases, but would add other points depending on the response of the Shu Points to the initial needles. > [Re: Veterinary Page in the Web Journal of Acupuncture [use Google > to find that]]: Yes, I've been there before.
