AC 531 - Acupuncture Channels and Points II

Credit(s): 4

This second course in the Acupuncture Channels and Points course sequence begins by providing students with a thorough introduction to acupuncture points, including their historical development, definition, general functions, nomenclature, and their major theoretical and functional point categories. Students also learn how to use both anatomical landmarks and traditional, proportional measurement systems to accurately locate acupuncture points. Then, through a combination of lecture, demonstration, and hands-on practice, students learn to apply this information to locate points of the Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, Spleen, Heart, Small Intestine channels and Du Mai and understand their applications through a study of their actions, indications, and designated point categories.
