Point Categories Explained

Tonification (Mother): Receives energy from Mother organ. Best point to increase energy.

Sedation (Son): Sends energy to Son organ. Reduces excess energy.

Luo-Connecting: Connects coupled meridians. Changes polarity of energy.

Yuan-Source: Most powerful binding point. Energy flows out to coupled meridian.

Xi-Cleft (Acute): Disperses energy quickly in acute states.

Horary (House): Own element point. 100% own polarity. Powerful at peak energy time.

Mu-Front: Anterior surface over organ. Tonifies Yin (cools/calms).

Back-Shu: Posterior surface at organ level. Tonifies Yang (function/warmth).
