The basic principle of treatment in traditional acupuncture is to use local and distal points along the course of the relevant channels.
For chronic conditions where the pain is unbearable or uncontrollable acupuncture masters are advised to use the qi retrieving points.
Acupuncture masters diagnose with the FRONT-MU points and then use the BACK SHU points to retrieve the organ qi.
As these points are anatomically on the posterior trunk of the body they are named as Back shu points.
• UB 13 and UB 21
• UB 25 and UB 18
• UB 22 and UB 23
This is the first consideration that should govern the point selection technique.
These BACK SHU points are empowered with natural alignment to retrieve the original qi of the internal organs.
Acupuncture masters have many divergent views of the specificity of BACK SHU points.
