Press acupuncture points to treat alcoholism 2

In the foot there are two acupuncture points that lie on the dorsal surface. I mention the acupuncture points LV3/taichong and ST44/Neiting.
Acupuncture point ST44/Neiting is at the distal (anterior) part of the metatarsal-phalangeal articulation, between the 2nd and 3rd toes.
Acupuncture point LV3/taichong lies in the proximal (posterior) part of the inter-osseous space between the 1st and 2nd metatarsal.

The complete protocol still had three more points. Two points in the upper limb (PC6/Neiguan and HT7/shenmen) and a point in the abdomen (CV12/Zhongwan). The abdominal acupuncture point is the easiest to find of all the three.
The acupuncture point CV12/Zhongwan is in Sagittal Midline (LMS) in the abdomen midway between the navel and the base of the xiphoid process. It´s easy to find.
To mark the acupuncture points that are in the forearm (PC6/Neiguan and HT7/Shenmen) is already necessary to enter into account with anatomical landmarks and measurements to cun for PC6/Neiguan and anatomical landmarks for HT7/Shenmen.
To find the acupuncture point PC6/Neiguan we must enter into consideration with the cun division that is doen in the forearm. It’s easy. From the elbow flexion line to wrist flexion line are 12 cun. PC6 point is 2 cun superior to the flexion line of wrist. However this is not enough. The pericardium channel passes between two tendons in the lower forearm. I speak of tendons of flexor carpi radialis and long flexor. Finding them is easy: just find the wrist flexion.

Putting these two information we have that PC6/Neiguan acupuncture point is 2 cun superior to the wrist flexion crease between the tendons of flexor carpi radialis and flexor long.
Finally we have the acupuncture point HT7/Shenmen. This point is at the level of the wrist flexion crease so it is not necessary to invoke cun measurement system. On the radial side (outside) of the pisiform bone in the transverse wrist crease in the angle between the pisiform bone and the tendon of flexor carpi ulnar is where we find this last point of advice about protocols for acupuncture to treat alcoholism (alcohol treatment, alcoholism acupuncture) used by Ganglin Yin and Liu Zhenghua in their book Advanced Modern Chinese Acupuncture Therapy.
