NOTES:
- The names of these points seem over extravagant and out-of-the-world; they’re not. Just check out the photos and it’s really easy to find and massage them.
- Meridian acupoints massage should be carried out in addition to proper modern and (If the situation permits so) herbal medications. As effective as it is, by no means it is the main or only treatment method used.
- There are generally 2 treatment directions to acupoints treatment: 1. Tonify/Boost; 2. Reduce/Slash; For mild case we may GENTLY massage the acupoints; for Medium and Severe cases we may STRONGLY massage those points, generally.
- Do the massage 3 to 4 times a day, every time about 5-10 minutes (Overall), to the extent one feels numbness, tingling, swollen sensations on the acupoints. Spend some time to look for the strange and exciting feels of them. Close our eyes and breathe easy while working on them. Keep doing it for 3 days, 5 days, 10 days and go on. We’ll get better each and every day.
- Drink a glass of warm water before proceeding each time. The body may sweat a bit during and after the treatment. Good thing.
- Wash our hands well and wear mask when massaging for others. Or self-massage.
- This the REAL hot Kungfu, mates.

- The handbook comes with mainly herbal prescriptions relevant to all situations involving the treatments of COVID-19 infections. I summarized only the acupoints massage section.
Lastly, our hands and fingers have very strong and powerful energy. The energies of lungs, heart and heart pericardium are all making U-turns from the tips of fingers, bringing more warming Sun energy back to the inner body.
We can definitely help ourselves and others to treat and heal better! Seriously beautiful!
