TUNG POINTS; TCM LOCATIONS

Brad Whisnant, DAOM“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.”

– Carl Gustav Jung

WHO AM I“Biggest reason people don’t succeed is because they don’t

expose themselves to the existing information”- Jim Rhome

I'm just Brad. I have no magic needle, no golden touch, I have no privileged information nor powerful potions. If I can do it? Anybody can! Step by step. Needle by needle, patient by patient,we learn. All this information is available to everybody. There are no secrets!

You just NEED TO PRACTICE and CRITCALLY think

WHO AM IIn 2007 I lost it all in the financial collapse and went volunteering….85% of all millionaires go broke, it’s a fact.

I failed miserably the first two years in acupuncture. It was spectacular! ☺– Plastic surgeon, detox center, MD, allergist clinic, nurse practitioner, bio

identical, spa, wellness center, therapy combo, solo practice, house calls, group, volunteer, working hourly, ER hospital, herbal house call van deal, old folks home, 4 overseas volunteer trips

In my clinic, I see 110-120 people a week on my own, each patient individually, no group treatments, no assembly line acupuncture. I see 25-30 people a day, and I work 9-6/7pm, Monday/Tuesday- Thursday/Friday. My wife runs the front office, I do all the herbs, treating, insurance, cleaning, laundry, make herbs, ordering of supplies and materials. We have only been open since 2009 March. We were at 76 people first week. I DIDN’T KNOW ANYBODY IN MY AREA! It was a small town, 12,000 people mostly of fisherman/farmers/blue collar workers, no acupuncture ever in the town.

Why am I here talking? Because I'm a novice. Because I'm new. Because I don’t know that much. If I can do this? YOU ALL CAN!!! I’M NOT SPECIAL!

WHO AM I“Double bottom line” business model

“Do good, Do well”

Service, community, volunteering, and profit can exist together.– I treat 5-10 people a week for free!– Another 5-10 on a sliding fee scale– 35% are cash rate (85$ and 50$, a little low for my area)– 65% insurance– Sell herbs, buy them from Evergreen, sell herbs at 30cents a gram– Use Designs for Health supplements, typically mark up 50-100%

See Gray stone Bakery. http://www.greystonbakery.com/

WHO AM IAcupuncture

Distal Acupuncture. Tung Acupuncture, Tan Acupuncture

Herbs/Pulse diagnosisDr. Jimmy Chang

Practice managementsolo practice, no contracts, no community, bill insurance, 2-4 people per hour, cash rate is 85/50, sell Evergreen herbs 30-40cents a gram

Belief systemExpect more




Bottom line, you need to effective! It doesn’t matter what you do, but you need to be effective! You need to get results! Consistently!

It’s not about telling your friends how effective you are, it’s about your patients getting better and telling THEIR friends!

Either your patients, “your customers”, are happy or they are not.

Either you are meeting your patient’s expectations; or you are not.

Remember, your patients medical needs may be different than your Chinese medical desires.

It really is that simple!

WHO AM I TUNG POINTS

TUNG POINTS at TCM LOCATIONS

Same point location, different indications

TUNG POINTSWhat if you have always wanted to learn Master Tung points but were frustrated of the new or different point locations?

What if I told you Master Tung was a Master at the 14 channel acupuncture and there are many popular Tung points in TCM locations?

What if I told you that you already KNOW the location of 131 Master Tung points that are at the TCM locations? You just use them fordifferent indications.

TUNG POINTSFor any of you familiar with other distal methods like “Dr. Tan”, you will see a lot of overlay. Such as LU7-9 for low back pain. Both very similar.

Just remember it all works

I wont go over all the points, such as points for scarlet fever or dry cholera. I will show you the points that will most likely be seen and used in your clinic.

I’ll briefly describe a few reasons “why” each point works. But there is much more theory than I'm talking about here. See slides at end.

TUNG POINTSLU3 and LU4.

Low back pain, LU tai yin/BL tai yangthe image of LU3/4 reversed, and 12 sections

LU 5 and LU6Asthma because of the lung. Image, LU treats LU,LU tai yin/SP tai yin. Spleen controls diaphragm.

LU7 and LU10 Swelling of bones, usually for back pain, neck painLU tai yin/BL tai yang. Image. 12 sections, bone for bone

TUNG POINTS– LI14– Dizziness from hypertension, hypertension as well– 12 segments, LI yang ming/fixes the ST yang ming. ST runs into

the heart. Yang ming will also fix the jue yin. PC is jue yin, that controls the heart.

– Cardiac nerve, reaction area that runs thru this zone– 5 zang in Tung, that is on the “heart” zang.– Dizziness Is image of head, yang ming most qi and blood– LI will also fix LI/LU/ST/KI– LI14 is in what a muscle? Heart is a muscle. Tissue for tissue.– Metal will control the wood and insult the fire, 5 element




TUNG POINTSLI4-11–Headaches –LI4 abdominal issues, in particular when the tummy is cold–LI11 Dizziness, hand numbness, 12 sections, 3 jiaos–Top of arm fixes bottom of arm, with in a section–LI4 middle Jiao, image, channel, Yuan source–LI11 he sea point, internal issues, –LI11 dizzy, because LI/LV, clears liver wind–LI4 LI/LV, LI moves LV qi stag, LI4 master point of face, so lots of bells palsy

–LI7-LI8–Sciatica, what kind of sciatica do you think?–LI/ST, LI/KD?, LI/LV?

TUNG POINTSLI10

Numbness of hands, LI10 is similar to ST36

TUNG POINTSST31– Common cold, image, yang ming, heart zang

ST32– Heart palp, heart issues, meeting place of all blood vessels and luo

meridians “the jin jou da xin”

ST36– Stopping sweating, boosting qi/strength/energy– Earth pt on earth channel=of course it boosts energy– Cardiac nerve/lung nerve. What happens when LU/HT work better?– Digestive issues, see 77.08, image, channel, 5 element– Huge point for Asthma/lung, chest/heart issues.

TUNG POINTSST37-38-39See 77.08-09-10-11 special tung pts.

But also for optic issues. Interesting to note, what is an “optic atrophy?” I would think macular degeneration? What is macular degeneration? It’s a build up of debris behind the eye. What better way to move qi and blood aggressive to move the debris from behind eye. We also have image, knees are eyes. ST runs up in to eyes. LV is eyes. LV is Jue yin. Again we see this relationship of Yang ming fixing Jue yin.

TUNG POINTSST43, or close to menjin 66.05

Distending pain abdomen.It’s the shu stream pt. shu stream pts on channels are GREAT for

painTCM shu stream treats heaviness of body, joint pain, pain that comes

and goes. Isn’t distention of the stomach heaviness?ST treats ST, ST treats SP, ST treat LIEarth channel, wood pt. wood is trying to control the Earth, so this

helps the Earth work better.

TUNG POINTSSP2 and SP3– Lower abdominal issues, ying spring fire, shu stream earth, earth

and fire.– SP treats, SP, SP treats ST, SP treats LV

SP4 very close to 66.11 houju– Frontal headache, low back pain, thumb issues, pain in hand,

image of the bone? Supra orbital bone– Luo connect point SP/ST, doesn’t the ST run up the head?




TUNG POINTSSP6 SP7 SP8 SP9Very similar and popular 3-4 emperor pts.

SP6Most any kidney issue, back pain, neck pain3 leg crossing point, gynecological issues, reproductive issuesSP6-7-8 Facial paralysis, SP/ST, image, 12 sections, upper, middle, lower

SP9 too much stomach acid, back pain, shoulder pain, diabetes, eyebrow pain, dizzy, kidney issues

TUNG POINTS

SP11– Liver disease, any liver issue– Image, where the channel runs– Controls the damp

TUNG POINTSHT5– Sciatica along GB channel– Luo connect pt again.

The heart meridian was not previously used in Tung acupuncture, showing that Tung acupuncture predates the inclusion of HT meridian (only 1 pt, 22.10 out of 740 is on HT)

In ancient Chinese texts such as the Ma Wang Dui medical manuscripts? The heart channel was never mentioned.

TUNG POINTSSI2- SI3Tinnitus due to heart issue (SI and HT zang relationship)SI/LV, SI/HT, image of hand is ears, SI goes up to ears, SI treats SI, ying spring so it clears heat, hence clearing because of ht fire.SJ3 huge for back pain, SJ/KD, SJ/GB5 zang on the hand? This area is the kidney

SI4Eye problems. SI/LV, SI clears the damp out the LV, LV is responsible for the eye. SI4 yuan source pt.

TUNG POINTSSI 9-10Sciatica, homologous relationships, the shoulder is the hips, the back of shoulder on the scapula where SI10 is? Is the lateral side of sacrum. SI9 is the piriforms.SI/BL, SI/KD.

Some of the most consistent and pain free points you can use for low back pain, L5/S1-2-3 pain, gluteus, piriformis pain

SI9-10, TW14, LI15 awesome points.

TUNG POINTSBL 56 Bl57Shoulder and back painImage, BL channel relationships

BL58-59Vertebral pain and neck painImage, channel relationships

BL43Almost always bleed, but you can needle it as wellBack shu point vital organ great for knee pain, amazing.




TUNG POINTS

KI5Neck pain, numbness of handsKD/BL, KD/LI, KD/TW, KD/LI, KD is bones

TUNG POINTSPC3Thumb pain, tendon of arm to tendon of thumb

PC5-6– To invigorate blood circulation, PC is the physical heart– PC/PC, PC/ST, ST runs thru heart. Location of PC6-5 is heart

location.

PC6 GREAT for knee pain. Tendon for tendon. ¼ image, PC/LV. PC/ST, circulation, moves blood

TUNG POINTSPC5-6-7– Sciatica. Tell me which sciatica it should get?– There are 2 for sure, possible 3

TUNG POINTSTW2-TW3– Cardiac palps, fast heart painful heart– TW fixes PC, PC is responsible for the heart muscle. HT is responsible

for emotional aspect of heart.– Ying spring, shu stream– Think of terms, of what is below the TW channel? HT channel?

TW6 (right next to Er bai extra tcm point)– Constipation, TW runs thru digestion area, water metabolism etc.

TUNG POINTSTW12Back pain, scoliosis, spinal painTW/KD, image, bone for boneGreat non painful point, very reliable

TUNG POINTSGB31

GB31 is Zhong Ju Li, 88.25 tung top 5 ptshere though, we are using it for shoulder pain, ¼ imagelateral arm painimage, upper leg, treats upper and lowerarm.

Based on image which is the best to tx? Upper or lower arm?

GB36-37-38Throat issues, tight throat, plum pit, fish bone stuck, image, channel

what goes through throat?




TUNG POINTSGB43Sciatica on the GB channel, shu stream, guiding needle principalVery close to 66.08Headaches, GB and LV windMicro system, the foot is the head, so the question would be what side

would this get if we treated GB43 left foot?

Answer? Should get left GB HA, and should get RIGHT SIDE TW HA. GB fixes GB same side, and GB fixes TW. GB fixes LV. LV internalbranch into vertex HA as well.

CRITCALL THINK, don’t just follow.

TUNG POINTSLV1Hernia, look where the channels goes? Jing well, excessLV treats LVWood pt on wood channelYou can also use the start or end of the channel to fix the end or start of channel.So LV1 is also good for what? LV14 liver the organ issues. Shingles pain on the mid torso. AND LV 1 DOESN’T HURT, quit believing what others say

TUNG POINTSREN 10-11-12-13– Stomach issues.

– Wait a minute you mean a local pt fixes it? What?

– Don’t get caught in local or distal. Get caught up in what works or doesn’t work.

– Front mu point spleen/stomach ren 12-13– Ren 12 great used for HA

TUNG POINTSDU 20Very close to head three meetings,

For shaking, trembling of hands, weak nerves

Why? Common brain nerve, cerebral nerve, spinal nerve, occipitalnerve.

Image, head for head

TUNG POINTSI didn’t cover any of bloodletting points or some of other

TCM points that are to close the groin or breast tissues.

I focused on points that you can easily get to and that you use on a regular basis with your TCM teachings.

You will need to study to understand the “why”. I have included a bunch of theory at the end for you

TUNG POINTSGo study with

Wei Chi Young, Dr. Tan, Dr. Chuan-Min Wang, Dr. James Maher, Robert Chu, Esther Su, Susan Johnson, Palden Carson

I would suggest to use me as a “starting point” in your education and to continue on with other “experts”.

“I’m not that smart, I just know really smart people”




FINAL THOUGHTSI found my own truth through 40,000 patients and continue to

find my way

You don’t have to listen to me

Use ANY teacher, as a guide….

You must WALK THE PATH

YOU MUST LEARN YOUR OWN TRUTH

Brad Whisnant, DAOM

www.sthelensacupuncturist.comIf you have additional questions? Go to my website

and I’d be happy to help you

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain

Thank you!

Tissue for tissue correspondence.

So if you have a muscles problem? You need to needle into muscle.

If you have a bone problem? Make sure you needle taps bone.

If you have a tendon problem? Needle a tendon

TUNG THEORY12 Segments

Any bone can be broken down into 12 segments.

Head, neck, upper limbs, lung, liver, stomach, duodenum, kidney, low back, lower limbs, thigh, foot

Now you can see why LI4 helps your tummy? stomachOr LI11 gets dizziness? It’s the head

TUNG THEORY

Channel relationships.

Dr. Tan does it best.

5 relationshipsHand tai yin/Foot tai yin LU/SPHand tai yin/Foot tai yang LU/BLZang fu Relationship, LU/LI Clock opposite LU/BLSame channel LU/LUFive Zang extra relationships close to clock opposite

TUNG THEORY5 Zang on the body

So each limb is divided into 5 zang organs.

Going from lateral to medial on the thigh.

Between GB and ST is the LU zangOn ST channel is HT zangBetween ST and LV is the KD zangLV channel is LV/GB zang

TUNG THEORY




Reaction/Nerve areas

There are nerves that when touched will do things for the body. Lots of indications that make no sense are because of this deeper understanding of nerves and what they do.

Such as 44.06, jian zhong. Helps the heart, why? Cardiac nerve.

77.28 guang ming. Helps the eyes, why? Optic nerve66.05 ST43 helps gynecological issues, why? Uterus nerve77.08-09-10-11, St36-37-38 so good for asthma? The pulmonary

and cardiac nerves are both there

TUNG THEORY

5 element.

Such as the Spleen the earth, control the water the kidney.

In Tung acupuncture all the “strengthening” points for the Kidney? Are on the Spleen.88.09-10-11, 77.18-19-21

TUNG THEORY

IMAGES/HOMOLOUGHUS RELATIONSHIPS.The hand is the head, the elbow is the umbilicus, the shoulder is the

feet. SI3-4 eye issues,

The Elbow is the eyes, the hand is the top of the head, shoulder is the bottom of the face, the chin. LI11 headaches, HT3 headache

The top, the head treats the bottom the feet. DU20 heel pain.

The shoulder treats the hip, the elbow and the knee, foot and hand.

And you can reverse all of it. Again, see Dr. Tan does a great job

TUNG THEORYPLEASE continue to study, there is SO MUCH MORE

THEORY!

Seasons, time, depth of needleMore understanding of Zang Fu theoryGuiding needle techniqueMicro systems, macro systemsOpen close pivotImages, opposite directions, ½, ¼, images, Same level treatingTheory of Li Dong-Yuans Spleen stomachBloodlettingEtc etc etc
