Basic energy points - location and treatment methods

Basic energy points are special points used to raise energy in the body (pics below),
to balance energies and emotions and as great prophylactic tool.


Location of points:

Points are about 2-3 mm size and easy to found:
 on the palm:

3 - in the middle between 1 and 5
2 и 4 - at 1/3 of a distance to the nearest point 1 or 5
6 - equal distance between 5 and 7
on the outer side of the hand:
2 - equal distance between 1 and 3
5 - equal distance between 4 and 6

One can massage the points by smth like a round tip of a pencil but best is

moxibition - heating by a special moxa cigar sold in acupuncture

and Chinese medicine shops, actually a burning coal will do.

Sequence of work:
--- for the palm - in the sequence from 1 to 7
--- on the outer side of a hand - in reverse order i.e. 6,5,4,...1.
One starts with left hand for men and right hand for women for the first session;

next time on another hand and so on alternating hands, but this is not strict rule.

The cigar is hold above the point at a distance to give a constant flow of heat
not burning, until a pleasant warmth at the point.
One may heat all the points equal time, usually 20 to 30 sec, or a specific
time for each to get that feeling of warmth.
In some while one may get the feeling what particular points need treatment.
