• All inch measurements are body inches, or cun. "The middle phalangeal bone of the middle finger is considered to be one body inch. The breadth of index and middle finger is 1.5 inches, and the breadth of the four fingers is figured as 3 inches. The relative size of the fingers of the practitioner and patient must be compensated for when employing this method of measurement." Ellis, from Fundamentals of Chinese Acupuncture
• Point locations and effects are from Fundamentals of Chinese Acupuncture by Ellis, Wiseman and Boss
• Classical locations are from The Great Compendium, The Inner Cannon or The Golden Mirror.
