Designed by a famous Chinese physician, Dr. Hua Tuo (110 AD to ~207 AD). Closely matching the modern western understandings of nerve pathways and function. The name “jia ji” means lining the spine and the points are right next to the spine, as opposed to the bladder meridian which has two channels further out from the spine. In technical terms the points are 0.3-0.5 cun (acupuncture body inches) from the lower border of the spinous process of each vertebrae. More here (CLICK)

How do I use this?
When sore – they get needled.  .
But – part of my protocol.

It hurts?
Needle it . .
There are problems at that level?
EG
There is heat needing discharging?
In times past – I would moxa on needle at that level to sort out woeful back issues along with what else I was using – that was a small part.

BUT – is as always – set it up.
I do all I can first . . – so it DOES look like magic.
