 INTRODUCTION
It is almost futile to write a book about Tung acupuncture. Words cannot describe
how amazing the points are, and the richness of the underlying theory. Books
need
to be written to spread the word and communicate with others, and books
are a
§reat starting point. If you have read any of our books prior to this one, or have
been to one of my seminars, you will hear me preach.

on only show you the path, it is you who must walk it. Our parents can guide us
ife, but it is up to us to live it! We can talk about love, we can define love, but
love can only be truly experienced by embracing a loved one, or seeing the sunset
Over an ocean, or staring into the eyes of your child. Love must be experienced to
be truly understood. Tung points, and more correctly, the practice of medicine, can
only be understood through practice.

It is only after giving thousands of treatments that we can start to form an opinion.
It is only then that we can start to form a judgment about a principle, a theory, or a
treatment plan. It is this experience that our industry desperately needs.

Experience is what you got by not having it when you need it. ~Author Unknown

We need scholars of treatments, who are in the trenches treating day in and out, not
more scholars of books, or “paper tiger” theorists. This book was written for the
medical provider who is ready to treat, ready to roll her sleeves up, treat patients,
learn and fail, and continue to study. My ultimate hope is that this book guides you
to form your own opinions that differ from mine.

We have focused primarily on modern diseases. Master Tung Saw More polig
rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, mumps, and tuberculosis (which is why there age
more points for these), than tight upper back muscles, and pain at the area of GR
21, and TW 15, that we see so often in modern clinics.

Do you know why Master Tung has so few points to treat stress and insomnia? [tig
because he did not see it that much. He also has more points for polio than fo;
stress, because polio was more common. This is not common in America, but I have
treated it in Vietnam, India, Honduras, and Guatemala. These countries have
different diseases than we do. Our culture, diet, and income levels affect which
diseases we get.

I have never treated dry cholera in America. That is caused by poor sanitation,
parasites, and microbes in our water and food. I have treated it in rural India, and
rural Vietnam. There are also not a lot of points to treat insomnia. The reason for
that is that the people he treated were non postindustrial people, like we have in
America.

Most non postindustrial culture people who work hard all day, do not have sleep
disorders. They are exhausted at the end of the day. In America, where we do not
exercise as much, and we are continually stimulated by food,
our IPad, TV screens,
too much stress, never winding down, checking e-mail in bed, or Facebook in bed
at 11 pm, of course we have more sleep problems than they do in rural India, where
they pick rice all day in the fields.

Reaction Area

Treating the reaction area is the secret of treating the five Zang organs. It is also
a deeper understanding of Tung acupuncture. It explains why both 44.06 and
22.05 treat fatigue. The reaction area of 44.06 is the heart, whereas the reaction
area of 22.05 is the lung. This helps you choose your points, depending on which
Zang is affected.

“A reaction area is neurophysical acupuncture. This reflects the knowledge

of the delicate energy of the body and the neuroanatomical and
neurophysiologic aspects of the body. This acupuncture style also corrects
and heals the body through the manipulation of the peripheral and central
nervous system by affecting the neuraxis, the actual anatomy, physiology
and pathophysiology of the body. (Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Dr.
Maher)”

Consider 11.27, it is a five point unit on the thumb joint shaft, between
the PIP and

11.27 five point unit. The fingers are not meant to be confusing, and if you go slowly
in the beginning, it is not as hard as it sounds.

Ultimately, this book is a guide for the modern day Western clinic. We see physical,
emotional, spiritual, acute, chronic, easy, and difficult patients. We also see
patients who will only give us one shot before they quit coming in, and some patients
will let us treat them 30 times and let us treat all sorts of ailments. It is good for
our modern patients who need to have acupuncture proven to them. It works great
for patients who are sensitive to needles, and those that don’t care and just want to
get better.

use 36 gauge. I know some acupuncturis

you don’t need to needle deeply either. Most poin
ts are inserted -25-.50 cun on the
arms, legs are .5-1.5 cun, the fingers and hea

Internal Medicine
Although Americans only seek acupuncture for pain relief, Master Tung
acupuncture is also very effective for internal problems. Many points also address
the root, when they treat the manifestation.

Needle Retention
The cycle of Qi is about 28 minutes. We also know from MRI studies that the brain
will respond well for about 28.8 minutes. I have my patients sit or lie down for 25
to 30 minutes.

Number of Needles Used

We should always try to limit our needles. However, do not insert a few needles and
leave your patient without determining you have complete pain relief. You should

These points have a lifting effect. They lift the distended intestines to trea
hemorrhoids. I have used these points to save the life of an unborn baby that was
supposed to be born prematurely. These points were crucial in lifting the uterus
and child. After childbirth, they can be used to lift the uterus back into its original
position.

These points are excellent to treat chronic IBS, spleen and stomach disharmonies,
chronic constipation, sluggish bowels, and any stagnation in the groin area, or lower

LOCATION AND NEEDLE TECHNIQUE

Located on the medial side of the ulna on the SI channel, three cun proximal to the
pisiform bone. Insert the needle 0.3-0.5 cun deep. The insertion is perpendicular,
since it is on the SI channel, this point can be used as an acupressure point to stop
urgent diarrhea.

CLASSICAL INDICATIONS
Enteritis caused by hepatitis, dizziness, blurred vision, abdominal pain, diarrhea,
sudden urge to defecate. It stops gas and bloating.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
This is a very popular point in the Tung system. Points 33.10, 33.11, and 33.12 are
a great three point Dao Ma. These points are usually used together. However, 33.10
is good enough to be used separately.

This point is called Intestine Gate. It will treat all intestinal issues. It is more
effective to treat urgent bowel movements than constipation, but it will treat both.
1 usually combine this with 66.05, as a starting point to treat digestive issues.

This point is also used a lot to treat gallbladder disorders, and poor digestion. It is
very effective for digestive issues caused by a gallbladder disorder.

CLASSICAL INDICATIONS

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
The LV is the most underrated and undertreated organ. With over 600 functions,
it is almost as important as the heart. The heart is the emperor organ, but if there
were a runner up, it would be the liver.

This point treats the liver. It is also valuable to treat shingles, rib pain, liver issues,
fatty liver, and all types of liver organ issues. It is extremely important clinically to
treat all liver indications such as fatigue, poor blood flow, and pain in the muscles,
tendons, and fascia. Since the liver is on the right side of the body, treating this
point on the left side is most effective. It is on the SI channel, and the SI treats the
LV.

Since this is on the SI channel, it is close to SI 4, the Yuan Source point, and the SI,
it removes turbid damp. It treats the LV, and I expand that clinically to include the
definition of the GB. This point treats the LV and GB very effectively.

This point is also often effective to treat allergies, infertility, pain, digestion,
headaches, fatigue, stress, sleep, neuropathy, edema, hypertension, toxicity, blood
flow and hormone issues. In my experience, these issues all originate in a congested
and malfunctioning liver. The liver is so compromised that it is affecting the other
organs and breaking down a healthy body.

LOCATION AND NEEDLE TECHNIQUE

Located in the depression on the medial side of the inferior ulna, 1.5 cun distal to
the elbow. It is contraindicated to needle this point bilaterally. Perpendicular

CLASSICAL INDICATIONS
Carditis, palpitations, suffocating feeling in the chest, vomiting, and dry cholera.
Liver fire rising, knee pain, coccyx pain, groin pain, medial thigh pain, sciatica, and
sacral pain.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
This is a great point to treat the heart, thus the name, Heart Gate. The SI treats the
HT, which is the channel where this point is located. It is used a lot to treat lower
back pain, knee pain, coccyx pain, and heart issues.

I often image 33.10 as the lower Jiao, 33.11 as the middle Jiao, and 33.12 as the
upper Jiao. This is why these three points are used together to treat many internal
disorders in the torso. There are indications of dry cholera, but this condition is not
Seen in modern clinics. The most common and effective uses of this point are to
treat knee pain, coccyx pain, sciatica, lower back pain, groin issues, and heart and
chest issues, All these uses are due to the images and channel relationships.

The Dao Ma combination of 33.10, 33.11, and 33.12 is used quite often due to the
fact that most patients are affected by poor digestion, liver congestion, and weak
hearts. A large proportion of modern patients have issues with these three orgals

REACTION AREA

LOCATION AND NEEDLE TECHNIQUE

Perpendicular insertion. Since we are treating the spine and the kidneys with these
points, it is important that the needle touches the posterior side of the humerus.

44.02 — Located on the posterior side of the humerus, 2.5 cun proximal to the
cubital crease on the TW channel.

44.03 — Located on the posterior side of the humerus, 4.5 cun proximal to the
cubital crease on the TW channel. It is 2 cun proximal from 44.02.

CLASSICAL INDICATIONS
Dislocation, distending pain of the vertebrae, nephritis, hypertension, and lower
back pain.

CLIN ICAL APPLICATIONS

Points 44.02 and 44.03 are not popular Tung points. In
my opinion, classically they
are not even used as a third or fourth tier points. How
they are extremely important. ever, in the modern day clinic,
 pop TUNG ACUPUNCTURE POINTS
44.02 and 44.03

These points are on the TW channel. The TW will treat the KD, which conti,
the spine, Du, Live ‘
bone and spine. These points also have a reaction area of
Heart. Most acupuncture visits are for pain, and that pain is usually back pain ~
root of that back pain is typically the lower or mid spine. These points are ,, ri
mid arm, the mid arm treats the mid back, via the image. The mid arm cay
image the lower or upper back, depending on your image.

These points basically treat all issues with the spine, and bulging discs. They z.
less painful to the patient than the hand points, and clinically I have found tie
treat a wider range of back problems than 11.11, 11.12, or Ling Gu, for example.

I frequently combine the Bone Spur Points, Gu Ci Yi Er San, with 44.02 and 44.0;
to treat mid to lower spine pain, with or without bulging disc issues, degeneration,
stenosis, and bone spurs, etc. This is an extremely valuable two point Dao Ma.
44.02 and 44.03, to treat these types of problems.

These points are the top points to treat bulging discs and spine pain. The TW trea’
the KD. They are clinically exceptional for mid-spine pain in the area of 148, and
lower back pain in the area of L2-S2. They are also useful for all types of kidne!
disease, including nephritis.

These points are best known for hypertension and heart issues, polio, and —*
and headaches from hypertension. I find that acupuncture is ae
hypertension, but herbs and lifestyle changes are a necessity. That is why I use ad
points primarily to treat pain, not heart disease. I do believe that herbs and a
should be the first choice to treat hypertension, while acupuncture plays
important, but secondary role.

LOCATION AND NEEDLE TECHNIQUE

On the lateral side of the humerus, 2.5 cun inferior to the acromion joint.
Perpendicular insertion. This point is typically found in the middle of medial

CLASSICAL INDICATIONS
Knee pain (most effective), dermatosis (most effective for skin diseases in the neck

pain.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
This point is in the top 10-20 points in the Tung system. It is used often for nose
conditions, heart conditions, and knee pain. It is also very effective to treat
Synecological and fatigue problems. It is valuable for hemiplegia, however there
are more effective Tung points to treat this.

Point 44.06 is on the LI channel, and thus influences the LV, the ST (and indirectly
the SP), the LU, and the KD. The LI is full of Qi and blood, and this point is located
in a big muscle. The muscle is earth, which is the spleen, this explains why it is so
effective to treat fatigue and damp disorders.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS ; , .
There is no substitute for these points when it comes to eye Issues. | find it ‘
the clinic to insert from the liver channel through to these points on the botto;, ‘
the foot. They are very effective for all head, nose, and eye issues. I usually use onl
two to three of the four points.

These points are clinically very effective for headaches if you needle down from the
LV channel into the area of KD 1. Inserting the needles from the top of the foot in
the LV channel activates these points from the top side. The body does not know
how you activated the points, they were just activated. Inserting this way activates
more channels, covers more indications, and thus has a greater effect.

This theory is why many high level Tung teachers say that they love San Cha San.
The reason is that when you insert it deeply, this one point activates San Cha San,
plus 22.06, 22.07, TW 2, TW 3, TW 4, SI 3, SI 4, 22.08, and 22.09. Using just one
needle, so many points are activated. Inserting the needle down through the LV
channel is the same principle.

A great example of how this point can be used is a patient of mine who after only six
treatments, has been able to reduce her eyeglass prescription three times. She is
now using the glasses prescribed to her from three prescriptions before the most
recent one.

Her eyes are improving so much. Her diagnosis is macular d i She had

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
The name of this point translates as “make the fire harder” and thus we knoy "
improves circulation. To increase the “fire” we are increasing the HT. The Ly treats
the PC, the PC controls the cardiac function. This point is close to LV 2.

Clinically I use this point all the time to treat TMJ, headaches, circulation issues,
heart problems, and any type of bleeding in the groin or gynecological area,
Remember that the liver controls the tendons, so the LV should be considered fo;
any tendon issue. The liver also controls the tendon, which includes shaking, and
wind. There is also a vessel under this point, the dorsalis pedis artery. Vessel treats
vessel, which explains all the circulation, blood flow, Qi and blood stagnation, liver,
and heart indications.

This point, combined with 66.04 is very effective for a stuffy nose, not only because
of the image and channel, but because of the typical root cause of a stuffy nose.
Typically a stuffy nose has no blood flow, it also has phlegm and damp. These points
make the fire harder, they drive fire up into the damp, phlegmy, and cold nose,
which has no blood circulation, and open it.

Points 66.08 and 66.09 are very commonly used in the Tung system. Clinically I
use these points most to treat systemic bone swelling, systemic inflammation, and
headaches. These points are great when your patient says her whole body hurts.

Although these points are amazing for tinnitus, in my experience your success rate
will be below 20% when using acupuncture alone for this. It is very challenging to
treat all tinnitus patients. Sometimes you are successful, sometimes you are not. It
is not dependable enough.

The theories about these points are rich and deep. Since the needle is close to the
bone, we are activating the kidney (water), which treats edema and swelling. The
name of the point implies “water cure,” hence the treatment of the water/kidney.

It is on a Wood meridian, so the tendons and LV are treated. It is close to a Shu

stream point, so the heaviness, swelling, pain, and wind pain which comes and goes.
It is on the GB channel, the Shao Yang. The Shao Yang is bone via the Ling Shu, so
it treats bone pain all over the body. It is adjacent to the extra meridian, the Dai
Mai vessel, so it treats many digestion issues.

GB 41, GB 42, and GB 43 are very popular and powerful points in TCM. Ina similar
way, 66.08 and 66.09 are just as strong, if not stronger points. This is one of the
nuisances of the Tung system. The points are close to GB 41, and it does matter if
your location is a bit off. It actually does matter. That is where your “good needle
mes a great needle.” Rarely in acupuncture is something good or bad. As in
my needle is amazing, but your needle is worthless. In most cases, acupuncture still
helps the body. However, this is where practitioners go from mediocre to amazing.
wy changing small things, an “average needle” will become a “miraculous healing
needle.”

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
Points 77-01, 77-02, and 77-03, and 77.04 are always used in combination. I find
that using 2 or 3 of the points is sufficient, but sometimes I do use all 4 points if
necessary.

These are your first choice to treat neck pain on the bone, cervical issues from C1 to
C7, and thoracic from T1 to T4.

In the clinic I typically use the points as follows:

77.01 treats C1-2
77.02 treats C2-4
77.03 treats C4-7/T1
77.04 treats T1-T4

These points clinically treat the spine, the Du and Bladder channels on the neck. I
often combine these points with Ren 24 to treat neck pain. (Master Tung was a
master at the 14 TCM channels. It is fine to use Tung points with your TCM points.
You just need to know the healing mechanisms and when it is and is not appropriate
to combine TCM and Tung points.

These points are effective to treat lower back pain, due to the image and the channel,
and for brain problems, due to the reaction area. I love these points for these
conditions. They are powerful, effective, and not painful. The key to using these
points effectively is that you must tap the bone on insertion. Needle through the
tendon, all the way to the bone. That is key.

Since you insert the needle through the tendon and touch the bone, these points
treat the tendon and the bone. The neck is usually stiff due to tendon, muscle or
he problems.

Although this is not a top point in the Tung system, classically it was used primarily
to treat spleen problems. However, in our modern clinics, I would suggest that 90 -
95% of your patients will benefit from these points.

Anice example of the usage of this point is a patient who came in with neck pain
that was radiating down her arm, into her elbow. This was not classical neck pain.
It was pain that only occurred when she breathed in or out. This is interesting,
because 77-05, 77-06, and 77.07 treat pain that is associated with the scalene
muscles. The scalene muscles are known as the “second breathing muscles.” I used
77.01, 77-02, and 77.03 on her with no effect. Upon realizing that her neck pain was
caused by the scalene muscles and affected by breathing, I used 77.05, 77.06, and
77.07 and the pain was resolved immediately.

We could write an entire book on Ling Gu and Da Bai, due to the richness of the
theory and application of these points. I will try to present a few general theories
as to why so many things are treated by these points, but I implore you to always
continue your own personal education. You should work through each indication
and consider why it works, as I have done.

I often combine 77.18 with SP 9. I rarely use 77.19 alone. If I don’t use 77.21 and
77.19 with 77.18, then I will always include SP 9 to create a Dao Ma.

The spleen connects to the kidneys. That is earth connecting to water. You will find
that most tonification points in the Tung system are on the SP channel. They
support and astringe the KD, to help stop the loss of essence.

The spleen connects with the heart, and thus will treat many sleep and stress
disorders. The spleen, 77.18, is close to SP 9, which is the He Sea point, thus these
points are used for storing Qi, where Yang Qi enters.

This point is very close to SP 7 and it reminds me of something that happened when
lobserved Dr. Tan in his clinic. One time he had a patient who had tongue pain. In
Tung acupuncture we should instantly think that the tongue is muscle, and the
Muscle is spleen. That would be 1010.22, Bi Yi. It is also the reaction area of the
Spleen. It’s perfect, we have a point that has a tongue indication, and it also fits the

Point 77.22 is 1.5 cun lateral to ST 36. Point 77.23 is 2 cun distal to 77.22, on the
anterior border of the fibula. Perpendicular insertion. Both of these points are
between the ST and GB channels.

The trick to locating these points is to first find ST 36 using one hand, then find GB
34 with the other hand. Since GB 34 is more proximal than ST 36, move the hand
that is touching GB 34 down the GB channel until it is at the same level as ST 36.
The first point is located between that GB point and ST 36.

CLASSICAL INDICATIONS —, . ;

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
lalways combine 77.22 and 77.23. These are very famous and popular points. I use
them all the time for headaches, and because of the reaction area, for the teeth.
They are great points for TMJ, and pain in the teeth or mouth.

These should be your first point choice for headaches. Although they are popular

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
Points 88.01, 88.02, and 88.03 are always combined as a Dao Ma for best results
These are some of the most frequently used points in the modern clinic due ty the
fact that most patients have some sort of heart Qi, or blood problem at the root,
their disease. The number one killer in America is heart disease. There are may
manifestations of heart disease, both in Western and Chinese medicine.

This three point unit is also exceptional to treat all types of spleen and stomach
problems. Many patients have gastrointestinal issues exacerbating or causing thei
condition. Ailments such as stress, allergies, insomnia, and fatigue can all be caused
by a poorly functioning digestive system.

These are some of the best points, if not the best points in the Tung system totred
any heart problem. They treat heart Qi deficiency, and heart Qi stagnation. Iu
them every day to treat circulation issues, edema in the legs, heart issues, tight ches!
sensation, and to tonify the blood.

Since this is the fire point and fire generates the earth, you can see why these ae
are so great for many digestion issues. They are also located in the thick must
the legs, which means they are related to the spleen, and digestion. 10 addi
they are on the ST channel, which goes through the
digestive organs.
38.01, 88.02; and 88.03

are the main points to treat edema caused by heart issues, and hypotension
caused by heart conditions. These points are indicated for finger pain, ? but I do not
yse them much for that.

These are my favorite points to use on myself after a long week of working and
jing on my feet all day. They treat chest palpitations from stress, disturbed
sleep from too much work, fatigue, and edema in the lower legs from standing all
day. Th the first points I do on myself when I feel this way.
There are many other listed indications that come from this root dysfunction. They
are: heart diseases, pericardial pain, and pain on both sides of the heart, rheumatic
heart disease, dizziness, vertigo, palpitations, gastric disease, limb pain, acute
pericarditis, rheumatic fever, cerebral ischemia, four limb pain, gastritis, nausea
and vomiting in pregnancy.

C d stagnation. The heart and liver
are the two most diseased organs in Western culture. :

these points are clinically important for fatigue, eye issues, allergies, bone spurs,
and liver pain. This is the most underused channel for the treatment of pain. It is
also the most undertreated organ. It is the most undervalued pathology when it
comes to patients with headaches, fertility, allergies, sleep problems, fatigue, pain,
digestion, and “just not feeling right.” These points should be used for more than
just Western-defined cirrhosis of the liver, or the treatment of Hepatitis C.

These are some of the most important points I used on my wife to stop the early
delivery of our son. They are amazing for miscarriage, which is also known as
“slippery fetus.”

[treated a patient with headaches that were not going away with “headache points,”
such as Da Bai (22.04) or 77.22 and 77.23. The reason the points were not working
was that her headaches were caused by her menstrual cycle. The insertion of 88.12,
88.13, and 88.14 completely relieved her headache.

Another patient had fatigue. I tried many of the points indicated for fatigue in most
Tung books. It did not work. The reason it did not work was that the fatigue was
coming from too many Western medications, and too much alcohol consumption.
Her liver was blocked, stagnated, and overworked. These points, 88.12, 88.13, and
88.14 relieved her headache immediately.

These points are like Ling Gu, an entire book could be written about them. They
should be considered for any blood or Qi disease. They are also useful for any wind
ssue, shaking, tendon, or muscle disease. They are useful for odd diseases such as
shaking diseases, like Parkinson’s.

These are amazing points. They are clinically some of the most relevant and
Powerful points you can use in Western clinics. If I were to choose my top three
Points, this Dao Ma of 88.12, 88.13, and 88.14 would be included.

aster ng said that met to his system, all diseases were diseases of the five
gang organs:
ye ZaD8> the saa laneys, lung, spleen, and liver. As long as we treated those
if they were diseased, disease would go away. In the Tung family system,
they put lines down each limb, these lines on the body were given a “Zang,” so each
jimb would have five lines. If there were points on these lines, such as 88.17, 88.18,
or 88-19; they were on the lung line of the thigh, and thus would treat lung
conditions.

points 88.01, 88.02, and 88.03 are very effective for heart conditions. There are
about 30 theories that explain why that is. One unique way that the Tung family
would suggest is that those points, 88.01, 88.02, and 88.03, lie on the Zang line of
the heart. That line, the heart Zang line, and any point on that line will treat the
heart. In fact, all the points on that heart Zang line do treat the heart. This is very
interesting, to say the least. Many theories can be attributed to a various people,
but the Zang line, Zang disease and Zang pathology is unique to the Tung family.

These points are clinically relevant for sciatica, any type of chest pain, thoracic
cavity pain, and any type of lung or skin issue. They treat any type of breathing,
sinus, nose, diaphragm, and intercostal muscle issue. They should be your first
choice to treat skin, nose, rib, and allergy issues.

These points are used a lot clinically to treat fibromyalgia, muscle weakness, general
fatigue, numbness, and chronic overall pain.

They are the number one points for stuffy nose (the LU opens to the nose), the
number one for allergies (the LU is the first affected organ), and they tonify Qi,
because of the lung association. Since these points are located in a big muscle, they
treat muscular problems.

I use these points a lot for sciatica. I treat the opposite side Ling Gu, Da Ba, San
Cha San, with the same side 88.17, 88.18, and 88.19. This is a very effective point
combination. It is also a great systemic treatment for fibromyalgia patients. This
combination is used to treat hypothyroid and general fatigue. A wonderful
Combination is 88.12, 88.13, and 88.14 on one leg, with the other leg being 88.17,
88.18, and 88.19. This is a very powerful treatment.

ares temples, and the side of the head, all of which are controlled by the
GB.
Frontal headaches are associated with Yang Ming, but there is a lot of GB
involvement also.

This Dao Ma group is remarkable for any issue in the upper face, in particular when
that issue is on the GB, or TW channels on the face, or for wind. They are
remarkable for GB or TW headaches, TMJ pain, eye tics, Bell’s palsy, and trigeminal
neuralgia. They are not effective for tinnitus, but they treat any other ear problem,
and temporal side head problem. I use them a lot for ear pain, ear stuffiness, ear
blockages, ear swelling, but not tinnitus.

| have used these points to treat idiopathic large arteritis in one patient. I have also
used them to treat hydrocephalus and many head traumas.

As long as my patient has time and is welling to allow me to needle their thighs,
these points are my preferred choice to treat head problems.

Asa general rule, for chronic conditions I prefer to treat the legs. Master Tung used
the legs in general for chronic issues and clinically I agree. All the points are
fantastic but the points on the legs (feet, lower legs, upper legs) are all so powerful.
They are, to me, the best of the best.

most, if not all, of our patients have stress, pain, and sleep
issues, due to man
factors. Point 88.25 is the best point to treat all of these issues, This point ahs be
needled on the lateral side of the femur, it is very important that you touch the
femur. This point is like 77.01, 77.02, and 77-03. If you do not tap the bone, it is
only 50% effective.

This point is one of my top points to treat all sorts of head issues, the face, eyes, ears,
TMJ, headaches, teeth, or jaw pain. If the problem is located on the head, this is the
first point I consider.

It is also the first point to consider to treat any pathology related to wind. If there is
any tendon, shaking, bone spur, pain, or trauma, this point should be used. The GB
treats the LV and tendons, which treats wind and shaking. It also treats the bones
and pain.

Itis the premiere point to treat when it comes to weird diseases. According to the
Classics, “wind is the source of 10,000 diseases.” This point is the most frequently
used point in my clinic. It rarely lets me down, it rarely fails to work as expected.

why does this work? Bloodletting is an art in itself. One third of all Master Tung
patients were bled. I have bled thousands of patients. In India, we notic
ed that
acupuncture alone was not enough to treat chronic pain patients. After
one month
of treatment, things started to turn around with them. We would not do
acupuncture until after we bled them first. If a patient had a chronic disease, they
were always bled first. This dramatically increased our results. I would bleed over
fifty patients a day in India. This does not mean that we took a lot of blood from
them. Just a few drops, or perhaps a tablespoon of blood was enough.

The other part of the ear that I bled a lot is the back of the ear. It is important to
bleed all the visible veins on the back of the ear. The ear relates to the Kidney, all
the yang channels run through the ear. The heart opens to the ear, via the Su Wen.
The heart and kidney communicate. The GB, Shao Yang channels, all around the
ear, the BL or Tai Yang channels go to the ear.

The heart opens the orifices, controls sweat, and controls fluids. Liver Yang and
Liver fire rise up to the ears. The heart and kidney meet at the ear and are the “fire
and water.” There are so many things, channels, ideas, theories, and relationships
that happen around the ear. It is a very powerful thing to treat.

Point 99.07 is a special point, because you can needle or bleed all the veins on the
ck of the ear for dermatology, migraine headaches, TMJ, dizziness, nausea, shock,
Seasickness, and any head problem.

TOP TUNG ACUPUNCTURE POINTS

99.00 Ear Points

I use the ear every day for patients with a common cold, the sniffles, anq any
of excess yang, fire, heat, or inflammatory condition. They are points not to be
dismissed.

Don’t forget that the ear apex is a top 10 point in the Tung system. You can needle
it, but I suggest you bleed it. It is a shame that bloodletting is not a more commo,
practice. I think most people would be amazed beyond what they think is possible
with the instant and miraculous healing.

TCM FUNCTIONS
Expels wind, treats liver wind, suppresses liver yang, clears the spirit, discharges
blazing heat from the Yang channels, and lifts fallen Yang and Qi.

REACTION AREA
Brain, Cerebral nerve

LOCATION AND NEEDLE TECHNIQUE

Located at Du 20. Perpendicular insertion. If this point hurts on insertion,
withdraw the needle and re-insert. The pain is due to the needle tip hitting a hair
follicle. Re-insertion will fix this. Insert .1 to .3 cun deep.

CLASSICAL INDICATIONS
Hemiplegia, fatigue, tremors, infantile convulsions, eye and mouth deviation (from
stroke), aphasia due to stroke, dysfunction of nervous system, stroke sequellae,
cerebral palsy.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS .
This point is located at Du 20. This point is used clinically for pain under the chin,
Reni or Du 1 pain, and heel pain. It is also often used in conjunction with Si Shen
ong. From a Master Tung perspective, this is often combined with 1010.05 and
1010.06 to treat
stress.

in my opinion, the weakness of the Tung system is in treating emotional] indicatig

Master Tung did not see a lot of stress, anxiety, or depression the way it Manifes,
in our dinics today. Hence he does not have a lot of points with the indication ¢
stress. I have treated tens of thousands of patients overseas who live in rural area,
The term stress does not really exist in these communities. In India, for example
Tung has more points to treat poli

and tuberculosis, which were the most common diseases of his time.

The other big dinical indication is for yang rising and liver wind. These points ar
used a lot for non-essential tremors, shaking, and they balance any type of brain
disorder, because of the reaction area of the brain. This point treats any condition
arising from liver yang, or liver wind, such as stroke sequellae which couldk
aphasia, or hemiplegia. Other indications are fatigue, deviation of the eye and
mouth, infantile convulsions, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, tics, tremor of the limbs,
and dysfunction of the nervous system.

J find this point to be extremely effective to treat hemiplegia, as long as you cal
treat it within 30 days of the event, preferably the next day. When I treat patients
overseas, patients are often brought to me the day after their stroke. In cases like
this, the results are fast and amazing. The more time that has elapsed since th
event, the harder it is to treat it.

LOCATION AND NEEDLE TECHNIQUE

Located a half cun medial and a 45 degree angle to Shui Tong (1010.19). Note:
Always thread one needle from 1010.19 to 1010.20.

See 1010.20 for technique. If you prefer, you can use two needles. Insert one needle
perpendicularly into 1010.19, and one needle into 1010.20. The easier and aster
way is to use one needle threaded from 1010.20 to 1010.19.

Start at 1010.20 and pinch the skin a bit, you do not want to drive the needle throug!
the lip and into the mouth. By pinching the skin, it gives you a little skin tha
superficial, that makes it easier to insert. Gently slide the needle at a 45 angle

This point is combined with 1010.19. There are so many manifestations that can
originate from poorly functioning adrenals, kidneys and the lung system. I use
these points often in the clinic, because patients often have this root and branch
issue. I commonly use these points for any breathing issue, lung related asthma, or
cough.

Some commonly seen manifestations are: lower back pain, acute lumbar sprain,
vertigo, dizziness, fatigue, coughing, dyspnea, and asthma. Chest pain,
constriction, and tightness. Kidney weakness, fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, low
hormone levels, and weak breathing due to weak lungs.

The indications for this point are due to the effect it has on the lungs or kidneys,

It also treats the upper back due to the fact that it is on the LI and LU channels. The
LU treats the BL, which covers a large area of the upper back. It treats the L

These points are more effective than Ling Gu to treat lower back pain.
They are

These points are effective due to the LI treating the KD relationship of the back.
back pain usually manifests as muscular pain. The root originates at the spine, due
a compression or degeneration. If you can treat the spine, you can resolve back

heavy eyes, shoulder pain, headaches, ear problems (although it is not STeat for
tinnitus), heart conditions, and palpitations. It is an amazing point that
recommend everyone learn how to use.

I use San Cha San for back pain caused by kidney issues, because the TW treats the
KD. Pain caused by dampness (spleen is the fourth finger in Tung palmar
diagnosis). San Cha San is said to be TW 2, TW 3, TW 4, 22.06, 22.07, SI 3, SI 4,
22.08, and 22.09 all rolled into one. That is why there are so many indications for
this one point. I will typically defer to San Cha San over using 22.06 and 22.07.
They both cover the same points, but San Cha San covers more area, and thus has
more, and more clinically useful indications.

The most famous point combination in the Tung system is Ling Gu, Da Bai, Zhong
Bai, and 22.06. I would suggest a better combination for back pain is simply Ling
Gu and San Cha San. This is much more powerful, and one fewer point to treat.
In my opinion, San Cha San should be included with Ling Gu (22.05), 88.25, 77.18;
and 77.08 as the most commonly used points in the Tung system.

San Cha San is extremely effective to treat any head issue, including red eyes, stuf
nose, congested sinuses, blocked ears, Qi stagnation in the face, wind attacking
face, and Bell’s palsy. 1 often default to San Cha San for any issue of the uppe ie '
head, and face. It is one of the most important points for fatigue. | prefer ~
other popular Tung points for fatigue. It has special indications for the heart, ch of
fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and allergies. These all seem to be unrelated, but as
oe pa the theory and application of these points, you will find they sa
related.

Tou Points

If you want to use one Tou point at a time, these are the locations they treat.

Qian Tou — Frontal headaches

Ding Tou — Vertex headaches
Pian Tou — Parietal headaches
Hou Tou — Occipital headaches

Headaches are commonly misdiagnosed. Ifthe pain does not originate on the heaq
or brain area, we need to consider where it does originate. Some common causes of
headaches are hormonal imbalances, allergies, intestinal fungus, toxicity, stress
kidneys, heart, spleen dampness, gallbladder dysfunction, acid reflux, thyroid
malfunction, constipation, or any other idiopathic cause. I love these points to treat
headaches, but please remember to consider the root cause in your treatment.

CLASSICAL INDICATIONS
Ankle pain

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
This point is very close to 22.01 and 22.02, and thus includes some indicatign, d
those points such as neck pain and upper neck issues. This point was made populey
and is used a lot to treat ankle pain and digestive issues, because it goes through the
area of LU 10, the fishes belly. Because of the image and channel relationships, i
is clinically effective to treat the ankle, shoulder, neck, and back.

Because of its relationship with the LU and LI, there are indications for chest pain
related to the LU, general stomach problems, LI issues, and chronic weak stomach
and spleen Qi.
