Look up Chinese acupoints (穴位 xuéwèi) the way TCM students and
acupressure self-care users actually look them up — by Chinese name
(合谷), by WHO point code (LI4), by English romanization (Hegu), by
meridian (大肠经 / Large Intestine), or by symptom (type "headache"
and the list narrows to 合谷 LI4, 风池 GB20, 百会 GV20, 太阳 EX-HN5,
印堂 EX-HN3 — the canonical headache combination every TCM textbook
teaches first). The reference covers 200+ commonly used points
spanning all 14 classical meridians (十四经) plus the most
frequently cited 经外奇穴 (extra points like 太阳, 印堂, 四神聪,
夹脊, 八邪, 八风). Each entry includes the point's WHO 2008 standard
code, Chinese name with pinyin, romanized + English gloss, its
meridian, full anatomical location (cun measurements with
anatomical landmarks — the same wording as the WHO 2008 Standard
Acupuncture Point Locations and 上海科技《针灸学》 textbook),
primary indications, full manipulation notes (needling depth and
direction / moxa applicability / acupressure pressure), explicit
contraindications and cautions (pregnancy-contraindicated points
such as 合谷 LI4 / 三阴交 SP6 / 昆仑 BL60 / 至阴 BL67 / 肩井 GB21 /
关元 CV4 are flagged with ⚠, plus pneumothorax-risk chest/back
points and points adjacent to major vessels or nerves), and 2-3
classical point combinations (e.g. "with LI11 for migraine"). 100%
client-side — every lookup runs in your browser, nothing about
your search leaves the page. SAFETY: this tool is a TCM study
reference only — it does NOT replace clinical care. Self-
administered acupuncture carries real risk. For acute or severe
conditions, see a physician promptly. Needling must be performed
by a licensed practitioner; safe self-use is acupressure (firm
finger pressure, no skin penetration). Built for TCM students,
massage therapists, and curious learners who want a fast,
accurate, LLM-free lookup.
