Have you ever looked at two acupuncture points and thought, “Aren’t these basically used for the same thing?” 🤔
In this episode, I’m breaking down 9 acupuncture point pairs that can seem almost interchangeable, but each has its own unique clinical strengths. Through practical case studies and simple rules, I’ll show you how to decide which point is the better choice for your patient.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• How to differentiate Kidney 3 vs. Kidney 6, Liver 3 vs. GB34, and LU7 vs. LI4 based on your patient’s presentation
• When to choose ST25 vs. ST37, ST36 vs. Ren 12, and SP9 vs. Ren 9 for digestive and dampness patterns
• How to decide between PC6 vs. HT7 for calming the mind and BL40 vs. BL60 for different types of back pain
• Why LI11 and ST44 are both great for clearing Heat, but aren’t always the best choice for the same patient
Whether you’re a student preparing for exams or a practitioner looking to sharpen your point selection, this episode will help you understand the why behind your acupuncture prescriptions and choose the right point with more confidence 💜
