What if some of the most powerful acupuncture points you’ll ever use aren’t even on the 12 primary meridians?

In this episode, we're exploring the power of extraordinary (empirical) acupuncture points—often under-taught in TCM school, yet absolute game changers in clinic. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 • Why extra points are clinically powerful—and when to use them

 • 15 must-know extra points like Yin Tang, Tai Yang, An Mian, Zi Gong, Hua Tuo Jia Ji, and Dan Nang Xue

 • Point combinations for sleep, pain, digestion, fertility, respiratory issues, and musculoskeletal conditions

 • Practical safety tips, bleeding techniques (Shi Xuan), and ways to integrate these into everyday treatments

If you want to expand beyond the meridians and sharpen your clinical edge, this episode is packed with pearls you can use immediately. 💜
