There are altogether, in the classic texts, 12 main channels
and 8 extraordinary channels, 2 of which have points of
their own, (the Ren and the Du), in the human body containing
365 mapped Acupoints. Additionally, there some 70 Extra
Points not associated with any channel. It is well beyond
the scope of this site to provide detailed information about
all these points. However, there are several well used and
important points of interest to the Acupuncture student.
