1. Differences of the following tonify yang points: D4 R4 R6 D14 R8

Du4: Being between 2 kidneys (ming-men –gate of life), good point for tonifying kidney essence and kidney yang. Moxa is good for this purpose

R4: This is the area of 丹田(dantian) and a very important area. It tonifys original qi and yang. It has relationship (front and back) with Du4 (ming men) and the tonify kidneys. It tonifies Yin and nourishes blood too.

Ren6: Tonifies Tonifies qi and yang, tonify kidneys (does not tonify yin and nourish blood like Ren4)

Ren8: Relationship with pre-heaven and important point especially to rescue yang.

Du14: The 6 yang channel meets here, and Du channel is known for “see of yang channels”. Therefore it tonifies the whole body yang channel, but does not zang as Ren4, 6, 8 do.  

 

2. Summarize Qi Jia theory

Qi-Jie means “Qi Street (気街)”, literally qi’s pathway. There are 4 of them, head, chest, abdomen and lower leg.
Head – pathways of all yang meridians, relationship with brain and essence in the head.
Chest (include part of abdomen area) – Between Front Mu and Bach Shu points, where qi is concentrated
Abdomen- Connects left and right of the chong meridian
Lowe leg – Starting point of chong chanel, which is the sea of 12 regular channels 

Qi jie connect with the regular point at St9, St30, St36, St42

 

At Qi Jie, qi circulates horizontally.

 

3. Why D13 can dispel exterior wind?
Du13 is a crossing point of Foot Taiyang channel.
The name means “Throw away the wind”
It is located in the part of the “diamond area” which is made with Du14, UB12, where Wind attacks in the beggining. You should try 英語

4. Use Biao Ben theory to explain why UB59 can treat whole body joint ache.
Biao means “branch” and Ben means “root”. UB 59 is understood as “Ben” of the UB channel. When the pathogenic factor attaches the body, it attaches the UB channel first and cause the joint pain of the whole body along the UB channel. UB59, as the “Ben” of the UB channel, it treats the joint pain from the whole body.

Toronto's best Acupuncture clinic

Rock solid health is the best cupuncture clinic in downtown toronto.
There are many acupuncture clinics in Toronto, but this clinic is the best of all. You should give it a chance!! When you choose a good acupuncture clinic, you have to think about how the practitioner is. Is he or she well trained in Chinese medicine? Sometimes people don't know what qualifications an acupuncturist has but it is not good. There are so many "acupuncturists" who claim they are legit acupuncturists but in fact they are not. The reason why there are not is because a lot of them don't go through proper education. Acupuncture is very effective but unless it is done by a well trained acupuncturist, it is not good at all.
