The Most Effective Points
A Discussion of the Five Transport Points

Professor Wang Ju-Yi 王 居易

Dec. 1-2, 2007 9AM – 6PM

15 CEUs

The five transport points (五腧穴) comprise the core of a classical
acupuncturist's repertoire. First described in the second chapter of the Nei
Jing, these 60 highly-effective points are often used but not always fully
understood.

This two-day class will focus on mining the experience of a senior
acupuncturist from Beijing. Specifically, students will learn how these
points are thought to function in the channel system as a whole. By better
learning how the points function, more effective point selection and patient
results are possible. Subjects covered will include:

Ø A detailed introduction to the relationship of the channels and
points to the organs in the classical Chinese physiological system. This
system provides the core of not only acupuncture therapy but also the
underlying conception of the body that drove classical herbal texts such as
the Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Damage by Cold).

Ø A discussion of the underlying mechanisms of function of each of the
five shu points. This includes a discussion of qi dynamic at the well,
spring, stream, river and sea points.

Ø An introduction by Dr. Wang of his unique understanding of favorite
points based on his own clinical results and research into classical texts.
Here, the student will gain a wealth of useful clinical applications for the
points beyond that often found in modern English textbooks. Needling
technique will be demonstrated.

Dr. Wang Ju-yi (王居易) is a classical acupuncturist from Beijing. A member

(1963), Dr. Wang has over 45 years of clinical experience. After working for
30 years treating patients and training doctors in the Kuan Jie Hospital of
