			<description><![CDATA[Added ''Suggestion'' "Hello to the rootdown group!<p style='clear:both;'/>I would like to suggest you to add a category to the acupuncture, which will be "acupuncture formulas". In many acupuncture classical books, specific conditions are treated by a combination of acupuncture points. This method of studying was very common in the old days, and has been forgotten in the ear of TCM. For example, a clinically useful acupuncture formula for neck pain is <a href='/Points/SI_3'>Small Intestine 3</a>, <a href='/Points/CV_24'>Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) 24</a> and <a href='/Points/GV_16'>Du Mai (Governing Vessel) 16</a>. Acupuncture in the old days was taught by memorizing odes. These odes contain not just formulas, but also indications that nowadays are forgotten. <p style='clear:both;'/>thanks a lot,<p style='clear:both;'/>Eran Pupkin, A.P.   " to:<br/><div style="margin-top:5px;margin-left:15px;"><a href='/Points/CV_24'>Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) 24</a><br/>(承漿)</div>]]></description>
