The Importance of the Acupuncture Palm Harbor Points
The point in the body where an Palm Harbor acupuncture needles is inserted is called an acupuncture point or acupoint for short. An acupoint is like a portal that connects to the energy pathways in the body.

The Chinese name the acupoint “tsiue” which means cavity since an acupoint is like a hole that leads to a meridian. Because of the difference in the bodies of each person a style of measure was created to measure each person for the specific reason of locating each person’s acupoints. The unit of measure is based on the distance of the second phalanx to the third phalanx of the thumb of the patient. It is important that the acupuncturist precisely locate an acupoint since a mistake of inserting the needles even just a few millimeters off the correct location can lead to problems during treatment.

When a student inserts a needle into the statue and water squirts out, this means that he accurately inserted a needle into an acupoint. The needles inserted in an acupoint innervate the meridian affecting the yin and yang forces, the five elements and the organs of the body. Without knowing what acupoints can do it would be difficult to find recourse into aiding the body to attain balance of energy.
