There are 365 main points plus another two dozen extra points and a whole galaxy of additional points in the ears and hands. Now, I would have preferred that the Chinese had named the points according to function, like “Fixes Frozen Shoulder” or “Stress Relieving Point” or “Ensures Fertility,” that kind of thing. What you get instead mostly are things like ST-36, “Zu San Li,” “Leg Three Mile,” a point near the knee used to provide stamina for walking another three li or miles, perhaps.
“The use of this point [c]an gain a lot ground and cover great distances. For people to walk and move arms more easily. Means for patient to move on – whether physical, mental or spiritually. Shakes up and revitalizes the energy. Use where there is laziness or an apathy. Feeds the Earth meridian in order that things can grow more richly. Feeding the muscles when working on the Earth element. One of the points for the Sea of Nourishment, according to the Chinese it bestows longevity and endurance, keeps you free from disease, conserves vitality and revitalizes the energy, the Official and the entire system. Brings stability and security to the element. Used with moxa, this point steps up the white blood cell count.” – Thank you J.R.Worsley
The alternative name of Ghost Evil indicates its use in such disharmonies as epilepsy, manic depression, schizophrenia, depression or when heat in the Yang Ming is causing wild behavior. This point both calms the mind and strengthens the body. Regulates Blood pressure. It brightens the eyes and can be used for blurred vision and declining eyesight in old age.
“In ancient times strong runners were used to deliver important messages from village to village. Here is the stamina to walk the length between two villas in ancient times. Zu San Li is to walk in the stillness of the way between heaven and earth with strength. Walking our path takes reserves and here are the nourishing energies to finish and accomplish our goals with these reserves of strength.
The character Zu is drawn as a foot that walked in stillness or along its path in balanced mediation and means the foot or let. San is drawn as three lines. The upper stroke represents heaven, the lower stroke earth, and the stroke in the middle is man created out of the two. It means three or to treble. Li is drawn as a field and earth. It means a hamlet of eight families working together to cultivate the land, a place of residence, neighborhood, and street, melancholy and the distance between two villages or a Chinese mile.
Here we gain our ability to be stable, receptive, caring, nourishing and balanced like the earth beneath our feet. Here the earth herself gives us the stamina to walk the fullness of our path.” - Thank you Debra Kaatz
Schizophrenia, blood pressure, blurred vision, white blood cell count? It does get complicated.

Healing is possible even in the absence of cure. Cure is about the recovery of the body. Healing is about the recovery of the soul. - Rachel Naomi Remen
