The most experienced acupuncturists
use the fewest needles.
A beginner reaches for ten points hoping one of them works. After 25 years, I reach for two β one to reduce the excess the patient shows me, one to strengthen the deficiency that caused it. This short course teaches you the four levels where that hidden deficiency lives, and how to balance it with two precisely chosen needles. Effects that appear faster β and last longer.

The whole method, in three moves
What patients complain about is almost always a manifestation of excess β heat, tension, wind. That's your starting point, not your target.
Every excess is compensation for a deficiency β usually in a different meridian. Four levels tell you exactly where to look for the weakened partner.
Reduce the point in excess, strengthen the deficient one. The energy changes immediately β you can feel it in the pulse, and the patient often feels it on the table.
You help your patients.
And still β
- You needle ten points and the patient improves β but you can't tell which point did the work, so you can't repeat it on the next patient.
- The effects come, then fade β because you removed the excess but never touched the deficiency that keeps producing it.
- You have point prescriptions for every syndrome β but a formula isn't a diagnosis, and the same recipe lands differently in every body.
- Results feel random: once it works, once it doesn't β and you can't say why.
The problem isn't your points. It's the strategy: treating the excess the patient walked in with, while the cause β the deficiency underneath β stays exactly where it was.
Every excess is compensation.
Find what it's compensating for.
The mechanism repeats in most cases: a deficiency of qi forces the body to compensate, compensation becomes stagnation, stagnation becomes excess. Removing the excess alone is like a massage β real relief, unchanged cause. For results that last, you address the pair: one needle reduces the excess, one strengthens the deficiency behind it. And the deficiency hides on one of four levels. Say the liver is in excess β here's where you look:
is the gallbladder weak?
is the large intestine weak?
is the small intestine weak?
is the pericardium weak?
Find the weakened partner and you know the level where the disturbance lives β and exactly where to reduce and where to strengthen. Two points, chosen for this patient, on this day. That's what personalized acupuncture means.
Here's what's going to change
- You'll know what did the work. Two points means a clear cause and a clear result β a method you can repeat, not a lucky prescription.
- Your results will hold. Because the deficiency that produced the excess gets strengthened, the pattern stops rebuilding itself after the patient leaves.
- Diagnosis gets a map. Four levels to check, in order β the search for the cause stops being intuition and becomes a procedure.
- Your existing style stays β nothing to unlearn. TCM, Dr. Tung, Dr. Tan β keep your system. This is a way of thinking you add inside it, not a paradigm to replace it.

Find the Imbalance β Let the Pulse Show You Where to StartFree preview
Where the treatment really begins: the excess your patient shows you is the starting point, not the target. How to find the imbalance behind the complaint. Includes the course script (PDF) with all the balancing tables.

The mechanism behind most disorders: deficiency forces compensation, compensation becomes stagnation, stagnation becomes the excess your patient complains about. Name what's too much β and what's too little.
Strengthen What's Weak β The Power of the Right Point
Tonification is what makes the change last: strengthening the weakened partner gives the body the new competence to finally transform the pattern β instead of rebuilding it.
Reduce the Excess β Calm the System and Restore Flow
Reduction done precisely: how one needle calms the excess β the heat, the tension, the wind β so the message reaches the body clearly instead of drowning in noise.
Balance with Two Points β See the Change Instantly
The heart of the method: the four levels β Yin-Yang, 10 Stems, 12 Branches, 6 Layers β where the weakened partner hides, and the pair of points that balances them. The energy changes immediately.
Sustain the Effect β Check, Adjust, and Keep the Results
How to verify the change, adjust the pair when needed, and fold the method into the system you already use β TCM, Dr. Tung, Dr. Tan β starting with your next patient.
The course script (PDF) β all four levels laid out in balancing tables, including the "deep energy" points of the organ clock β comes with Lesson 1, ready to keep at the treatment table. The first two lessons are open as a free preview on the course page β watch them before you decide.
"The needle neither gives nor takes anything away. It changes vibrations. That's why, to balance the energy cloud, we strengthen one point and reduce another."
β Dr. Michal Richter Β· MD, acupuncturist Β· from the final lesson of this course
Built by a physician who treats this way every day.
I'm Dr. Michal Richter, MD. For 25 years I've done one thing: clinical acupuncture, full-time, in Katowice, Poland β 20 to 30 patients a day, every day.
The two-point approach in this course isn't a technique I collected for a curriculum. It's the principle behind how I work: minimal input, maximum specificity. My observations over two decades keep pointing the same way β the fewer the points, as long as they are precisely selected for this patient, the faster the improvement appears and the longer it lasts. I started teaching in 2009 to pass exactly this way of thinking on.
14-Day Guarantee. Watch the course, apply the method on a patient. If it doesn't sharpen how you select points and how long your results last, write one email within 14 days and you get 100% back β no forms, no questions.
Questions practitioners ask
Do I need pulse diagnosis to use this method?
No β you can start from symptoms and a careful diagnostic interview. But the pulse shows you the energetic state of all twelve meridians in seconds: which is in excess, which is deficient. That's why the course recommends it β and if you want that tool, the 12 Positions pulse course on this platform teaches it from zero.
Do I have to change how I practice?
No. Use the system you already use β TCM, Dr. Tung, Dr. Tan, whatever it may be. This isn't a new school; it's a way of choosing less and hitting more precisely, added inside your own approach. Nothing to unlearn.
Do I need to know the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?
No. The course uses four levels as a practical checklist β you check which partner meridian is weakened, and the script gives you the pairs in ready tables. If the deeper system interests you, it's a brilliant one β but for this method, what's in the course is enough.
Do I need experience?
If you know basic TCM theory β the elements, the meridians, tonification and reduction β you're ready. Acupuncturists, TCM students and meridian-based therapists are all at home here.
Only 29 minutes? Really?
Yes β and that's deliberate. Simple things usually work best. The method is four levels and one principle: reduce the excess, strengthen the deficiency. Short and to the point β no filler, nothing held back.
Will just two needles really be enough?
Two points carry a precise message β like one person speaking to you instead of fifteen at once. After needling just two well-chosen points the energy changes immediately: you can feel it in the pulse, and patients often report feeling better on the table. And you can always add your usual treatment on top β the pair comes first.
How is this different from the pulse or Five Elements courses?
This course is strategy: how to think in pairs β excess plus the deficiency behind it β and balance them on the right level. The pulse courses are diagnosis: how to read what's actually in excess and what's deficient at the wrist. They click together, and this one is the fastest way to see how the whole system thinks. Start with either.
Do I get a certificate or CEU/PDA credits?
No β and that's deliberate. This course teaches a clinical skill, and the proof isn't paperwork β it's the result that holds when your patient comes back. If what you need is CE credit, this isn't the right course.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime. One payment, no subscription. Return to it anytime β the four levels read differently after a hundred patients.
What if it doesn't work in my hands?
Use the 14-Day Guarantee: watch the course, apply the method on a patient, and if it doesn't sharpen your point selection and your results, write one email for a full refund.
Stop chasing the excess.
Balance the pair.
Two needles. Four levels. A way of thinking you'll use on every patient, in every session, for the rest of your practice. You're invited.
