How to use
Use the book as a point reference when planning treatments or learning point locations. Read the description for each point to understand its primary indications and suggested application, then follow the basic needling or pressure considerations provided. For clinical use, combine the book’s guidance with formal training and clinical judgement; for self-care use the acupressure suggestions rather than needling unless you have appropriate qualifications. Cross-reference related points and indications to design comprehensive treatment approaches.
Usage recommendations
Apply the guide as a supplementary reference alongside formal training and up-to-date clinical protocols. When using needling techniques, follow local regulations and hygiene standards. For home acupressure, start with gentle pressure, avoid areas with broken skin or active inflammation, and consult a qualified practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen.
