Extraordinary Points & Ashi Point
Extraordinary Points
Extraordinary Points (Jing-Wai Qi Xue) are special acupoints outside the 12 regular meridians. They regulate qi-blood and treat diseases via unique therapeutic effects.
Origin: Not rooted in zang-fu like regular meridians. Formed by clinical experience, related to local physiological/pathological responses, and connect to viscera via qi.
Upward Course: No fixed overall upward route. Distributed on head, face, trunk, limbs, with relatively local qi - blood conduction.
Superficial Path: Each has an independent body-surface location (e.g., Sishencong on head, Taiyang in temporal region). Don’t form a continuous pathway like regular meridians; act as individual sites.
Branch 1: Some communicate with regular meridians’ qi (e.g., Jiaji connects to Bladder Meridian, regulating spine and zang-fu).
Branch 2: Others act locally/adjacently (e.g., Shixuan on fingertips regulates local qi-blood, rescues collapse, clears heat, interacting with the whole-body system).

Ashi Point
Ashi Points are special acupoints in Traditional Chinese Medicine, emerging as tender, reactive spots on the body in response to illness or disharmony. Unlike fixed meridian acupoints, they have no pre-defined positions. Identified by palpation (patients typically react “Ashi” to discomfort), they act as localized treatment targets. Needling, massaging, or moxibusting these points helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore balance, playing a flexible yet practical role in addressing acute or irregular health issues by adapting to the body’s real-time health state.
