List of

acupuncture
points

This article provides a

comprehensive list of acupuncture
points, locations on the body used
in acupuncture, acupressure, and
other treatment systems based on
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
System of main meridians with acupuncture point locations

Locations and basis

More than four hundred
acupuncture points have been
described, with the majority located
on one of the twenty main
cutaneous and subcutaneous
meridians, pathways which run
throughout the body and according
to Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) transport qi ( 氣). Twelve of
these major meridians, commonly
referred to as "the primary
meridians", are bilateral and
practitioners associate them with
internal organs. The remaining eight
meridians are designated as
"extraordinary", and are also bilateral
except for three, one that encircles
the body near the waist, and two
that run along the midline of the
body. Only those two extraordinary
meridians that run along the midline
contain their own points, the
remaining six comprise points from
the aforementioned twelve primary
meridians. There are also points
that are not located on the fourteen
major meridians but do lie in the
complete nexus referred to as jing
luo ( 經絡). Such outliers are often
referred to as "extra points".[1]

There is no anatomical and

physiological basis for acupuncture
points and meridians.[2] In practice,
acupuncture points are located by a
combination of anatomical
landmarks, palpation, and feedback
from the patient.[1]

Eight Extraordinary Meridians

The eight extraordinary meridians

(simplified Chinese: 奇经八脉;
traditional Chinese: 奇經八脈; pinyin:
qí jīng bā mài) are of pivotal
importance in the study of Qigong
氣功; Chi kung), T'ai chi ch'uan (太
(
極拳), and Chinese alchemy.[3]
Though many are listed, only the
Governing Vessel and the
Conception Vessel meridians have
points not associated with the
previous 12 meridians.

Nomenclature
Some acupuncture points have
several traditional names, for
example tài yuān ( 太渊) and gui xin
( 鬼心) are two names used for the
9th acupuncture point on the lung
meridian. The World Health
Organization (WHO) published A
Proposed Standard International
Acupuncture Nomenclature Report in
1991 and 2014 (https://www.who.in
t/publications/i/item/9290611057) ,
listing 361 classical acupuncture
points organized according to the
fourteen meridians, eight extra
meridians, 48 extra points, and
scalp acupuncture points,[4] and
published Standard Acupuncture
Nomenclature (https://www.ncbi.nlm.
nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2393122/
pdf/bullwho00053-0028.pdf) in
1993, focused on the 361 classical
acupuncture points.[5] Each
acupuncture point is identified by
the meridian on which it is located
and its number in the point
sequence on that channel. For
example, Lu-9 identifies the 9th
acupuncture point on the lung
meridian. The only ambiguity with
this unique systemized method is
on the urinary bladder meridian,
where the outer line of 14 points
found on the back near the spine
are inserted in one of two ways;
following the last point of the inner
line along the spine ( 會陽) and
resuming with the point found in the
crease of the buttocks ( 承扶), or
following the point in the center of
the crease of the knee ( 委中) and
resuming with the point just below
that ( 合陽), found in the bifurcation
of the gastrocnemius muscle.
Although classification of the extra
points often tries to utilize a similar
shortcut method, where a numbered
sequence along an assigned body
part is used, there is no commonly
agreed-upon system and therefore
universal identification of these
points relies on the original naming
system of traditional Chinese
characters.
The tables in this article follow the
WHO numbering scheme to identify
the acupuncture points of the main
channels. For extra points the tables
follow the numbering scheme found
in A Manual of Acupuncture.[1]

Lung meridian
Abbreviated as LU, named 手太阴肺
经穴; 手太陰肺經 "The Lung channel
of Hand, Greater Yin". This refers to
the meridian starting in the arm, the
lung's association with yin, and that
it is considered more easy to find.
