Location of Obscure Extra Points II

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your help (those of you who responded to my last post)

I see from teh responses I got that these points are probably a bit

obscure, so I am modifying my request for help.

 

I have a book called, " Treatment of Disease with Acupuncture " by

James Tin Yau So. This book is Volume Two in the series called " A

Complete Course in Acupuncture. " The points in question, which he

calls, XT-1 " Tu Yin " & XF-2 'Jung Kuei. " are mentioned in the

treatment of Morning Sickness. However, there is no data or

illustration on how to locate these points. Apparently, the meridian

maps and point decriptions are in Volume One of the series, even

though they are frequently referred to in Volume Two (whcih,

unhappily, is tyhe only one I have)

 

Does anyone out there have Volume One of Dr. So's " Complete Course? "

If so, sould you please looke these two points up for me and post

there locations? Come on New England people, I know you're out there.

 

Thanks for your continued help.

I've got the Volume One. Is vol II still in print? I tried to get it

but couldn't.

 

Here it is:

 

Tu Yin, single yin -

location: under the second toe, in the middle of the second crease.

effects: angina pectoris, pain in the heart, patient cannot stand,

hernia, carmping in the uterus, fetus dies in the uterus, retention of

placenta, ovaritis, menorrhalgia, severe hiccoughs, morning sickness

(use moxa on this point and on PC5).

Treatment: no needle. Moxa 7 times, 1/2 rice grain size.

Stimulus: severe local pain and reaction up to chest.

Note; to locate and treat this point, have the patient rest their heel

on a chair. Also, on the second toe, there are a number of creases, and

they will differ from patient to patient. You must find the most

painful crease.

 

(XF2 is actually supposed to be XFi2, XF2 is a different point)

location: the yang side of the middle finger, at the center of the

second knuckle. Bend the finger, a small hollow is on top of the

knuckle.

effects: belching, hiccoughs, severe vomiting.

treatment: no needle. Moxa 5-7 times, 1/3 rice grain size

stimulus: up and down the finger a distance of one inch.

I thought I would clarify what the 1st and 2nd knuckle mean. From the

picture, Jung Kui is on the proximal interphalangeal joint of the

third finger.

The picture for Tu Yin looks like it could be right on the underside

of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint of the second toe, or the proximal

joint. (Definitely not at the distal phalangeal joint).

Maybe " second crease " and " second knuckle " are both supposed to

denote the proximal joint.
