COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This essential course introduces the practical use of Tung’s acupuncture point formulas and how they function much like herbal formulas: targeted combinations designed to address specific clinical presentations. Rather than offering a simple list of point prescriptions, Dr. Henry McCann demonstrates how to flexibly modify formulas, choose effective points based on underlying principles, and apply these methods to a wide range of real-world conditions.

Through a series of detailed clinical case studies, participants will learn how Tung’s formulas can be adapted to meet the needs of individual patients. The course includes four case studies focused on stress and fatigue, illustrating how point combinations can be modified to address different underlying patterns. Additional case studies explore methods for descending Yang and treating conditions affecting the head, including facial pain, hydrocephalus, and migraine with associated neck pain.

Dr. McCann will discuss the relationship between acupuncture point formulas and herbal formulas, helping practitioners understand how these systems can complement one another in clinical practice. By examining both the reasoning behind point selection and the progression of treatment strategies, participants will develop a deeper understanding of formula-based thinking rather than relying on memorized prescriptions.

Through practical examples, clinical discussion, and select herbal formula integrations, practitioners will gain greater confidence in modifying Tung’s point formulas, refining treatment strategies, and applying these methods with precision and flexibility in everyday practice.

Dr. Henry McCann, author of Pricking the Vessels and co-author of Practical Atlas of Tung’s Acupuncture, is internationally recognized for his expertise in classical and Tung-style acupuncture. He brings decades of clinical experience and extensive teaching to help practitioners truly understand and apply these essential methods in their own practice.

• Understand the principles and purpose of Tung’s acupuncture point formulas.
• Learn how to select effective points and apply flexible modifications based on individual patient presentations.
