Master Tung (董氏针灸) was a Chinese acupuncturist who had trodden in the same path as several of his ancestors. His approach is slightly different than standard Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), for instance including Western medicine concepts such as ‘nerves’. Rather than keeping the knowledge for himself, he fortunately passed it on to his students, who in turn published his approach. His form of treatments speak for itself, being very effective.

The name of the point often gives some clue what it helps for:

• Metal: 金 – ‘jin’ (gold): If jin is first then it often relates to LU, if it is second it refers to LI.
• Water 水 – ‘shui’ if shui comes first it may relate to Kid.
  Also 皇 – ‘huang’ is Emperor. The Emperor always sits on North side. North = Water = Kidneys
• Wood: 木 – ‘mu’ related to Liv/ GB issues.
• Fire: 火 – ‘huo’ related to Heart/ SI issues
• Earth: 土 – ‘tu’ related to Sp.
• Earth: 地 – ‘di’ does not appear to relate to Sp.

When browsing Tung points, references to “reaction area” means “nerve”.


The 5 right-most columns indicate how effective the points are for the respective zang. 1 indicates most effect, 5 indicates some effect. Typically create a DaoMa by choosing an effective point (low number) together with one or two ‘guide point’ of lower effect (higher number). Of the possible points, use the ones that ‘image’ the primary area the best.

The rating is not done by me of course, but by Chuan-Min Wang, a student of Master Tung, and made available by Donna at Elotus.
