Rebecca, I think Hugo was

talking about *scalp*-acupuncture, not traditional acupuncture.

With this technique you 'crawl' along the scalp

and 1-2 cun insertions are regularly used.

After inserting the needle at the side of the head

you can needle 1.5 cun 'downwards'.

Greetings Tay.

Thanks, Tay, I didn't know that.

Never went into the details of scalp acupuncture.

 

Regards

Rebecca
