In this episode, I’m breaking down the channel theory behind distal acupuncture points and sharing 9 of my go-to points for treating everything from pain and digestive issues to gynecology, anxiety, and headaches. I’ll explain why I often start with distal points before moving to local points, and how you can use these versatile points more confidently in your clinical practice.
