guidelinesfor identifying and using the most important points of channels.
 
·        The mostimportant points of each channel lie at the extremities (hands and legs).
·        Thedistal most points are more powerful than the proximal points.
·        ThePoints on the Nail Bases of the Fingers and Toes are the Jingwell Points usedfor Emergencies (Adrenergic Points).
·        ThePoints around the Wrist and Ankle are Yuan-Source points used in Chronicdisorders and Sub acute diseases.
·        Theother essential points are the Luo Points of channels and they lie between thewrist(ankle) and the elbow(knee).
·        ThePoints around the Knee and Elbow are also powerful in all types of  diseases. They are also Tonification Pointsand Immune Enhancement Points.
 
Now, we shall add:
 
·       Xi-cleft point of a channel also lies near the Ankle or between the Kneeand Ankle region or between the Wrist and Elbow length.  The point is used for treating the Acute disorders of the Organ (connectedto the channel).
 
·        On each channel there are 5 points that can manipulate the energy ofthe channel by increasing or decreasing the functionality, or by divertingenergy from the channel (Organ) to another, or by receiving from another Organ.These Points are known as Command Points (Quin-Qi-Inductories). These FiveElement Points will be described in our advanced sessions.
