Dynamic Acupuncture: How to Use the Yuan Points

A number before, a number after

A number before anything is done, the procedure within an ordinary appointment, then the same question again.

What changes in your treatment room

• You treat what the pulse shows today. The weakest of the twelve positions tells you where to start, so the points are chosen, not guessed.
• Often the patient feels it on the table. A chronic symptom eases and the patient becomes calm. You confirm the change on the pulse and with a re-test.
• You leave every visit with a check, not a hope. The same pulse position and the same re-test, before the patient gets up.
• Nothing to assemble yourself. Diagnosis, treatment and check belong to one method, with a cheat sheet you keep in the treatment room.

How it works

The yuan (source) points connect the primary meridians with Jing. In the language of physiology, this is the nervous system returning to balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity.

The energy changes first; the functional change follows within minutes. You can test the joint and the muscle on the spot, and the patient often reports a change from the inside as well.

This lesson is also open on the platform.

Where it is used

• One symptom that will not leaveThe patient is better in general, but the elbow, the headache or the stomach keeps coming back.
• A complaint with no movement to testDigestion, sleep, energy, cycles, breathing. There is no movement test for these; there is the pulse.
• A reaction bigger than the stimulusIrritability, tension, low mood, a body that stays braced after a difficult experience.
• Pain that keeps returningIncluding pain that arrives as an attack.
• After The ChainThe Chain for the movement, source points for the pattern underneath. Same visit, a few minutes more.

The pulse reading you need

One comparison: which of the twelve positions is the weakest right now. You can learn it in an evening. Lesson 4 of Pulse Essentials is open below.

The first public test

A yoga workshop, nineteen participants, none of them my patients. All nineteen reported a change. Around two hundred treatments have followed since.

Nineteen people at one workshop, self-reported, on the day. Not a controlled trial.

Repeatable. Tested. Complete.

The pulse tells you where to work, the source points treat it, and the pulse and the re-test tell you whether it worked. Every step belongs to one method, so there is nothing to assemble yourself.

• Repeatable. The same pulse reading, the same points, the same re-test, patient after patient.
• Tested. Built in my own clinic, with around two hundred treatments since the first public test.
• Complete. Diagnosis and treatment fit together, so you can use it with your next patient.

The 14-day clinical guarantee

Watch the method. Use it with your patients. If it does not change how you work, or the course is simply not what you expected, write one email within 14 days and you get 100% back. No forms, no questions. The email goes to me, not to a support system.

Who teaches

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.

I built this method in my own clinic, from classical acupuncture and what we now know about the nervous system, and I teach it filmed in the same room where I see patients.

Questions practitioners ask

Your next patient with a symptom that keeps coming back

You read the pulse, find the weakest position, treat the source points, and read the pulse again. Often the patient notices the change before you say a word.
