Sun Si Miao 孫思邈 “The King of Medicine” developed the 13 Ghost

Points - Healing the mind!

Ghost Points

Sun Si Miao “The King of Medicine” developed the 13 Ghost Points. Their
purpose was treating mental disorders such as schizophrenia, manic
behaviour & neurological disorders such as Epilepsy. In clinical practice,
these ghost points are also helpful, in helping patients with long standing
emotional trauma that are difficult to overcome.

According to Sin Si Miao “Ghosts” affecting the mind is actually excess


phlegm misting the Heart mind. As we know excess phlegm can be the
result of long standing emotional issues or trauma, weak Jing (Essence),
diet, external pathogens, drugs, or shock.

All the Ghost points have applications that affect a patient’s emotional and
psychological welfare and when used together they create a sense of
peace, help centre and ground them.
How many Ghost points can be used per session?

A maximum of 3 Ghost points. Nonetheless, many practitioners differ in


their approach

ST 6 – Ghost Point

This point is perfect for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Patients with
PTSD have tendency to clench their jaw, so ST 6 acts as a jaw relaxer as
well.

BL 62 – Ghost Point

In clinical practice I use Bl 62 for long-standing childhood trauma related to


sexual abuse, leading to anxiety and/or depression as an adult.

Li 11 – Ghost Point

Li 11 clear heat and balance the digestive system. It’s used for patient
who like to be in control, and get diarrhea or suffers from IBS when they
feel out of control.

SP 1 – Ghost Point

Bleeding SP 1 is generally used for patient who have poor body image and
eat their feelings (as in Bulimia).

PC 7 – Ghost Point

This acupuncture point is the protector of the heart, which makes it the
perfect point to needle for those who are emotionally upset (broken
hearted) after the break up of a relationship.

PC 8 – Ghost Point

This is a good point for patient who have lost a sense of self, are manic
with hallucinations, anxious and experience paranoia (Like in
schizophrenia).

Lu 11 – Ghost Point

This acupuncture point is perfect, when a vow, contract, or an important


agreement is broken, and anger results. Good during or after a nasty
divorce, or a business partnership which goes sour.
Ren 1 – Ghost Point

For patient who are ashamed of their body and their sexuality, and
especially for women after childbirth, who suffers from urinary incontinence
and low libido, or can’t reach orgasm.

Ren 24 – Ghost Point

This is a great acupuncture point for people who are always worried and
are consumed by their dark thoughts for years. They don’t ever smile or
laugh.

Du 16 – Ghost Point

Because of its location, Du 16 is often overlooked because it is deemed a


dangerous point. But it’s a good one for patient who resist change and are
inflexible.

Du 23 – Ghost Point

For unresponsive people who have years of phlegm misting the mind, and
become catatonic 緊張病性の, such as Alzheimer’s patients in later stage.

Du 26 – Ghost Point

Often used for intergenerational 世代間の trauma, which leads to


spontaneous laughing with no reason.

Yin Tang – Ghost Point (not ghost point, the 13th point is under the tongue)

This 13th Ghost point is controversial. In some text, extra point Gui Feng
(under the tongue) is deemed a Ghost point. However, because of its
location, Yin Tang has been used instead. Both are used for enlightening
the mind, seeking knowledge and wisdom.
