Some are used much more frequently and are more valuable than others because they can treat many different conditions. Location of acupuncture points by feeling for tenderness of the skin is a common way. Acupuncture points can also be found by looking for minute changes in temperature on the skin surface and even the stickiness of the skin or tissue. Body acupuncture points are referred to by their traditional Chinese names or through the meridians on which they are found, followed by a number. This indicates the order of the point on the actual meridian. For example, a common point on the hand is the hegu. It is also known as LI4 which means that is the fourth point on the long intestine meridian.

Jing (well) points are those points where the chi bubbles up or, in other words, originates from. These are always the first points on the yang channels or the last points on the yin channels. These points are indicated for that feeling of fullness and heaviness below the heart and disorders of the yang organs (small intestine, large intestine, gall bladder, urinary bladder, stomach and the triple warmer or san jiao)

Ying (spring) points are where the chi glides down the channel or meridians. These points are indicated for treating body heat and changes in skin complexion.

Shu (stream) points on the body are where the vital energy or chi pours down the meridians. These acupuncture points are indicated for the treatment of bodily heaviness, pains of the joints and intermittent diseases.

Jing (river) points are where the chi flows in the meridians. These acupuncture points are indicated for the treatment of chills, fever, cough and diseases of the bones and sinews.

He (sea) points are where the chi collects and then begins to seep more into the body. These acupuncture points are indicated for treating disorders such as the counter flow of chi in the body.
