YNSA Points Flashcards
Located approximately 1 cm lateral to A point ( or 2 cm lateral to
Midline ) Straight up from Yuyao and GB 14.
For Shoulder pain, disorders related to cervical spine, neck arm
Problems, SCM and Trapezius muscle problems. Clavicle, neck and arm.
B Point
Located approx 2.5 cm lateral to Point B, or 4.5 to 5 cm lateral to
Midline. At ST 8, it’s about 2 cm long following the shape of the skull.
For problems of the upper extremities from shoulder joint to the finger
tips, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow…etc
C Point
Located between YNSA B and C Points
For Knee Pain
Extra Yamamoto knee point
Located in the temporal region, above the zygomatic arch, 2 cm in
front of the ear, at GB 3, needle towards GB 2.
For disorders related to Lumbar, Sacral vertebrae and Coccyx.
Circulatory problems of legs, Low Back Pain, Sciatica, prostatis,
Problems walking, Parkinson’s.
D Point
Located in a vertical line approx 1 cm in length posterior to D Point
And just in front of the ear. (3 silly geese)
For problems of Lumbar Spine and Sacrum ( for spine itself)
Yin D1-D6 Points
Begins at GB 14, follows a line approx 2 cm in length towards Yintang.
For disorders related to Thoracic Vertabrae, ribs, Thoracic Cavity and
Internal organs. Shingles, (trunk of body,) ( use thin needles for
Threading)
E Point
Located on the highest prominence of the mastoid process.
L5 - S1, this point represents the sciatic nerve and the ONLY indication
Is Sciatica. ( L for left sciatica, R for right sciatica) use take home press tacks or magnets
F Point
Located at GB 12. Three points situated around the edge of the
Mastoid Process. G3 is located at GB 12
This point represents the knee. For knee disorders
G point (G -1 = medial, G -2 = Frontal, G -3 = Lateral
Level with B point, and 1/2 cun back.
Used mainly in conjunction with D Point and RARELY USED ALONE.
For Chronic low back pain ( lumbar) or problems with the lower
extremities.
H Point
Level with C point and 1/2 cun back.
Used mainly in conjunction with D point and Rarely Used Alone. For
Chronic low back pain ( lumbar sacral or sciatica ) or problems with
Lower extremities.
I Point
Located 1/2 cun behind YNSA A Point ( M 2)
Represents the largest part of the brain. Right and Left Hemisphere United by Corpus Collusum The cerebrum is broken down into 4 parts - The Limbic System - Basal Ganglia - Olfactory Bulb - Cerebral Cortex
The majority of neurological machinery implement in our sensory
Functions and complex learned behaviors can be found in these regions.
The cortex is divided into 4 lobes: parietal, temporal, occipital and
Frontal lobes. Among these lobes can be found the brain areas
Responsible for processing vision, executing movement, consolidating sensory data and abstract thought.
Another area of the cerebrum is the olfactory bulb. This phylogenetically old portion of the brain processes smell information
and chemical signals such as pheromones.
Cerebrum
Located 1 cun behind YNSA A point or 1/2 cun behind cerebrum. M3
Represents the posterior part of the brain. Controls voluntary muscular movement balance, (right and left) equilibrium and posture. Also vision, sensory data and Parkinson’s slumping over.
Cerebellum
Located between YNSA A points (M1)
Receives input from the amygdala and the cingulate gyrus, helps with
the function in the motor expression of emotions and execution of movement ( like smiling or assuming an aggressive posture) and learning functions. (Stroke pts)
Basal Ganglia
Follow up from BL 2 from anterior to posterior, approx 1 cm lateral to the midline, level with GV 24 at BL 3
For disorders related to cervical spine,neck, headaches, facial pain,
or paralysis and TMJ disorders, Bell’s palsy.
A point
