What Are Acupoint Prescriptions?
When it comes to finding natural and effective ways to manage health issues, acupoint prescriptions are like a secret map leading to balance and relief. If you’ve ever been curious about how Oriental medicine categorizes body imbalances and addresses them through specific points on the body, you’re in for a treat!
In this blog, we’ll break down what acupoint prescriptions are, how they’re crafted, and why they’re a vital part of Oriental healing practices. We’ll also show you how our ebooks, videos, PDFs, and charts include ready-to-use acupoint prescriptions to help you take charge of your health journey.
What Exactly Are Acupoint Prescriptions?
Think of acupoint prescriptions as a personalized roadmap for healing. In Oriental medicine, specific points on the body—known as acupoints—are stimulated to correct imbalances and promote well-being.
An acupoint prescription tells you:
Which points to stimulate
How to stimulate them (pressure, needles, heat, etc.)
How often to do it?
It’s very much like a doctor writing a prescription, but instead of medication, you get a list of points to tap into your body’s natural healing powers.
Why Are Acupoint Prescriptions So Important?
Imagine trying to fix a complex machine without a manual. That’s how healing without a strategy feels. Acupoint prescriptions give your body a targeted, thoughtful, and organized approach to healing.
They help with:
Faster symptom relief
Improved energy flow
Addressing root causes, not just symptoms
Without a clear acupoint strategy, treatments can feel like random guessing. Acupoint prescriptions create focused, efficient healing!
The Foundation of Acupoint Prescriptions: The 5 Categories of Imbalance
In Oriental medicine, health problems—including hypertension—are not one-size-fits-all. They stem from five major imbalances, and each needs a different acupoint prescription.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
1. Excess
When there’s too much energy (Qi) stuck in the body, it causes pressure, tension, and sometimes pain. Think of a river clogged with debris.
Common signs: Headaches, anger, restlessness.
Acupoints focus: Moving and dispersing the blocked energy.
2. Deficiency
Here, the body doesn’t have enough energy, blood, or nutrients. It’s like trying to run a car on fumes.
Common signs: Fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness.
Acupoints focus: Strengthening and nourishing the system.
3. Phlegm and Congestion
This isn’t just about mucus! It’s about fluids becoming thick and stagnant, blocking the body’s natural flow.
Common signs: Heaviness, brain fog, chronic coughs.
Acupoints focus: Draining and transforming congestion.
4. Weakness of Kidney and Liver
These organs play a powerful role in maintaining internal balance. Weakness here can throw the entire body off-track.
Common signs: Low back pain, brittle nails, blurry vision.
Acupoints focus: Strengthening the kidney and liver functions.
5. Extreme Excess of Liver
When the liver’s energy explodes, it feels like a storm inside your body—irritability, high blood pressure, and migraines often show up.
Common signs: Anger, red face, tense muscles.
Acupoints focus: Calming and pacifying the liver.
