Eran Pupkin

Added ''Suggestion'' "Hello to the rootdown group!

I would like to suggest you to add a category to the acupuncture, which will be "acupuncture formulas". In many acupuncture classical books, specific conditions are treated by a combination of acupuncture points. This method of studying was very common in the old days, and has been forgotten in the ear of TCM. For example, a clinically useful acupuncture formula for neck pain is Small Intestine 3, Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) 24 and Du Mai (Governing Vessel) 16. Acupuncture in the old days was taught by memorizing odes. These odes contain not just formulas, but also indications that nowadays are forgotten.

thanks a lot,

Eran Pupkin, A.P. " to:

Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) 24
