What San Fu points should I use?
Good question. A recent study was conducted in 2015 where the scientists tracked patients over a 3 year period; however, the final paper has yet to be published. The points that I have employed clinically since 2009 are based on Lorraine Wilcox’s seminal article; however, as a clinician you will need to chose what’s right for your patients. The points for each of the days are listed below, but consider the additions of Tian Tu (REN22), Dan Zhong (REN17), Zhong Fu (LU1), and Zu San Li (ST36).
Diffuses Lung, calms panting
Fortifies Spleen, transforms phlegm
Supplements Kidneys to absorb Qi
