Female Acupuncture Points Chart

In acupuncture, certain points are considered forbidden or contraindicated during specific conditions, especially during pregnancy. These include points on the lower abdomen and lower back, like LI4 (Hegu), SP6 (Sanyinjiao), and GB21 (Jianjing), among others, due to their potential to stimulate uterine contractions.

The most powerful acupuncture point often depends on the condition being treated, but LI4 (Hegu) on the hand is frequently cited for its wide range of applications, including pain relief, stress reduction, and its ability to influence the flow of energy or Qi throughout the body.

Acupuncture points commonly used to reduce inflammation include LI4 (Hegu), located on the hand, and ST36 (Zusanli), found on the lower leg, both known for their immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects. Additional points like SP6 (Sanyinjiao) and LR3 (Taichong) may also be used to regulate circulation and relieve systemic inflammation.
