Explain two methods for locating acupoints
What will be an ideal response?
A complete response should include these concepts:
• Acupoints can be located by measuring relative position, which is determined by measuring cun or "body inches."
• Each cun is equivalent to the width of the knuckle of the client's thumb.
• Other body parts have consistent measurements of cun.
• Acupoints may be found by counting distances in cun along a channel.
• Acupoints may be found by measuring their position relative to other body structures and landmarks.
• Acupoints can be located because they are often found:
• On or near bony landmarks or the tissues between them
• In areas where bones come together or in natural grooves along the body's surface
