Acupoints
Acupoints are specific points on the body, mostly along the meridians, that are stimulated with needles, finger pressure or low-level laser.
What Acupoints means in TCM
A general definition, not medical advice.
There are over 360 classical acupoints, each with a name and a traditional function. They can be stimulated with needles, finger pressure (acupressure), low-level laser, or ear seeds on the ear.
