Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Does anyone know what the 3 temple points are? Or Yamato's pts? These pts are featured in an article in AC Today about treating kids with Autism. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sorry for the late reply - but I don't think there has been a response to your question yet. I have an description of 3 temple points from the book " Jin's 3-Needle Technique " by Jin Rui, a professor at the Gunagzhou University of TCM. The first point is 2 cun superior to the ear apex, and the other two are 1 cun to each side at the same level. They are indicated for motor impairment because of their location between the pre and post central gyrus (among other TCM resons). They are used for the treatment of hemiplegia as a sequela of stroke, but Jin expands their use to impaired development in children because of the improved blood flow and nourishment to the brain. The points may be quite tender and cause bleeding, but a good da qi sensation is beneficial. As to " Yamoto's points " , you may be looking for Yamamoto's New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA), which you can Google. Hope this helps!
