Pete, GV26 is even more powerful as a pain-relief point. I use it often in

horses, with excellent results, especially in bilateral spinal pain.

 

However, I use it rarely in humans. I had heard that it can be a very

sensitive point in humans and should be used sparingly.

 

Just now, however, I decided to test that idea on myself. I needled my own

GV26, using a plastic guide-tube with heavy pressure on the point before

tapping in the needle. It was no problem. Now I will use it more often in

people!!

 

Best regards,

Hi Doctor Phil!

 

I also have heard that. I have occasionally used it, and the patient never

seemed to mind! Usually for some indication other than pain, however.

 

Regards,
