Zhong Family Yang-Supporting Acupuncture

Zhong Family Yang-Supporting Acupuncture, taught by Zhong Jianfei, starts from the traditional TCM approach of supporting yang and explores relationships between thermal stimulation and meridian, qi-blood, and zang-fu theories. It centers on the three yang-supporting points Dazhui, Mingmen, and Guanyuan, alongside approaches such as using painful locations as treatment points, to explain its theoretical framework and point-selection reasoning.

The materials cover yang-supporting acupuncture foundations, treatment principles, indications and precautions, with study areas organized into internal medicine, surgery, gynaecology, dermatology and eye, ear, nose and throat topics. Advanced sections include pain, chronic concerns and other themes. Start with the foundational concepts, then use the instructor's explanations to analyze point-selection reasons and combination principles for each topic, rather than only memorizing groups of point names.

This course offers further reading for people with acupuncture or TCM fundamentals who wish to understand yang-supporting acupuncture. Needle and heat-stimulation procedures require professional instruction under local regulations and qualification requirements.
