Useful article on Cupping and the points used in common conditions

[Guest guest]

Hi Al,

 

“DIRECTION OF 12 CUPS” is a useful article on cupping at

http://www.hmkt.com.cn/chanpin/ybt-e-2.htm

 

For full details, see the URL. The following points were listed in the

article:

 

I could not identify point “Shenjue” (used in measles), nor could I

find any other reference for it on WWW. It is not listed in “Grasping

the Wind”, nor in my AP textbooks or notes. Do any of you know

the location and uses of that point?
