[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

PMID: 18085152 [PubMed - in process] Huang Y, Chen JQ. [Professor

OUYANG Qun's clinical experience on application of single point] [Article in

Chinese] Zhongguo Zhen Jiu. 2007 Nov;27(11):857-8. TCM School,

Southern Medical University, Guangzhou 510515, China.

nanfanglihuang The clinical experience of Professor OUYANG

BL57 occipital pain

GV20 Meniere's syndrome

LI11 Neck lymphoid tuberculosis

LU06 acute sore throat

SP10 headache in menstrual period

ST07 painful heel

ST38 frozen shoulder

Extra Point Fengyan-A_07 / Z_28 optic neuritis

Extra Point Luolingwu-NA03 painful diseases

Extra Point Kuanxiong-Code?? chest oppression / distress /

congestion

Extra Point Waihuaijian-L_22 toothache

 

Apart from Are Thoresen, have you used single-point acupuncture, as

above, for any condition? If yes, please give examples and a summary of

your results.

 

(1) Do you know the location for Extra Point Kuanxiong (Relax Chest)?

I cannot find its location on WWW.

 

(2) Re location for Extra Point Fengyan, my list of acupoint names at

http://homepage.eircom.net/~progers/ptn.htm has TWO Extra Points called

Fengyan but their Hanzi characters and meanings differ:

 

A_07-Fengyan -Wind Eye at joint crease on radial side of thumb

 

Z_28-Fengyan -Wind Cliff 0.5' ant to point midway from GV15 to inf

edge of earlobe, level with inf edge of mastoid process

 

The NAME " Wind Eye " suggests that A_07 may be relevant for optic neuritis

but the LOCATION of Z_28 (near GB20-Fengchi) suggests that it ALSO

could be relevant for Wind Pattern of eye, including optic neuritis

 

However, a Chinese version of the article at http://tinyurl.com/2qwyjj gave

Wind Cliff (Z_28), [not Wind Eye (A_07)] as the Fengyan point used.

 

(3) What is the location of Extra Point Xiajiquan? (See abstract, below)

 

Jiquan (Highest Spring) = HT01 in the centre of the axilla, medial to the

axillary artery. Xiajiquan must be below HT01, but where, exactly?
