Acupunture Points Facts:

Acupuncture points are located in small depressions in the skin called "gates." By stimulating these points either by needle insertion, pressure or other methods, access can be gained to the internal circulation affecting deeper levels of the body.

Classical Chinese theory recognizes approxiately 365 acupuncture points. However, there are many new points used in microsystems involving the scalp, ear, hand and others, so the total number of points has risen to over 2,000. Normally, a typical acupuncturist would use about 150-200 points on a routine basis. Click here to find out more about the benefits of acupuncture.
