It’s always great to have a general treatment protocol ‘in your pocket.’ It can be especially
useful in these 3 instances:
*When you are totally befuddled as to what the heck is going on (hence the Miriam Lee Protocol below)
*When the patient begins to see you, you do know what the heck, but it’s complex and it’s hard to know
where to start.
• Fewer needles.
• Contralateral needling for pain or structural problems. For chronical conditions, bilateral.
• 6 twirls for drainage (Xie Fa) and 9 twirls for tonification (Bu Fa)
• If pain related to organ pathology then needle the opposite side. For example Liver pathology the Liver
is on the right side so the left side would be needled. Spleen is on the left so right side would be
needled.
• Qi stagnation points are needled on the left, Blood stasis points needled on the right.
Tung style Acupuncture does not need the use of the diagnostic methods (pulse, tongue etc.) or
terminology adopted by the TCM acupuncture.
Tung’s acupuncture is very safe since most of its points are located on the body’s extremities.
If the patient has a deficiency, energy will be pushed toward it. In case of an excess, energy will be pulled
from it.
A general tune up for maintenance and if totally unsure of diagnosis is Miriam Lee’s 10 Points
Needle these points bilaterally in order for the 10 points:
LU7 - Lie Que, LI4 - Hegu, LI11- Qu Chi, ST36 - Zu San Li, SP6 - San Yin Jiao
These can be used on any client. For stronger client use a longer retention time, for weaker client use a
shorter retention time
The following are mainly from Master Tung’s Acupuncture by Miriam Lee, cross referenced with others
