Categories of Functions and Indications

[Guest guest]

I am working on having an acupuncture iPhone application developed, and I am

looking at categories for the associated indications and functions of each

point. I would appreciate the group's collective feedback (additions, deletions,

changes) to the list. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
