2-Point Acupuncture: Excess and Deficiency in Two Needles

Two needles, chosen from what the patient shows you. One reduces the excess, one strengthens the deficiency behind it, and you feel the change in the pulse during the treatment.

Diagnosis
The excess the patient shows you, and the deficiency behind it at one of four levels: yin and yang, the ten stems, the twelve branches, the six layers.
Treatment
Two points. One reduces the excess, one strengthens the deficiency.
Result
The energy changes during the treatment; you feel it in the pulse, and patients often feel it on the table.

6 lessons, 29 minutes, the course script with all the balancing tables. The first two lessons are free to watch.

  • See the patternDeficiency forces compensation, compensation becomes stagnation, stagnation becomes the excess the patient complains about.
  • Strengthen what is weakTonifying the weakened partner, so the pattern does not rebuild itself.
  • Reduce the excessHow one needle calms the heat, tension or wind.

From the course

The needle neither gives nor takes anything away. It changes vibrations. That is why, to balance the energy cloud, we strengthen one point and reduce another.Michal Richter, MD · final lesson

Who teaches

MR

I am Michal Richter, MD. For 25 years I have practiced only acupuncture, 20 to 30 patients a day, in a busy clinic in Poland. I have taught practitioners since 2009, and I teach only what I use on my own patients.

Two precisely chosen points: that is how I work every day. Fewer points, chosen for this patient, and a change I can check on the same visit.

Questions practitioners ask

Do I need pulse diagnosis to use this?

No. You can start from the symptoms and a careful interview. The pulse shows you in seconds which meridian is in excess and which is deficient, and the 12 Positions course teaches it from scratch.

Do I have to change how I practice?

No. You keep your system and add the pair of points to it.

Do I need to know the stems and branches?

No. The four levels are used as a checklist, and the script gives you the pairs in ready-made tables.

Are two needles enough?

Two well-chosen points carry a clear signal. You can always add your usual treatment after the pair.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime. One payment, no subscription.
