For over 800 years acupuncturists have believed Ma Danyang’s collection of 12 points are the most important in Chinese medicine. Their efficacy is said to be like Hot Water on Snow, and it was cautioned their transmission only go to the worthy. Today, all practitioners know and use them. But the power of these points is not unleashed by inserting a needle and then leaving them alone. A practitioner must know how to needle them to achieve their full effects. It is a combination of accurate diagnosis, needling method and hand skill that raises these points above all others in efficacy. ‘To be worthy’ meant to be shown how to use them, not simply told to use them.
“In my first acupuncture class under the late Professor Wang Jin-Huai, he read to me the Song of the Heavenly Star Points, impressing upon me their power and the ancient admonishment to never share it with the unscrupulous. He unlocked their meanings, and the late Dr. Xie Peiqi then taught me the ‘Qi’ skill to achieve their full potential.”
In this seminar, Andrew Nugent-Head teaches the Ma Danyang points as he was taught them, presenting the theory around the points and their different abilities as well as the hand techniques that maximize their potential.
This course has been approved by the California Acupuncture Board & the NCCAOM for 2.5 continuing education credit hours.
