Tai chi helps reinvigorate stem cells, researchers find. Taipei, June 7 (CNA) Taiwanese researchers have identified one possible reason that practitioners of the martial art tai chi tout its health benefits: shadow boxing apparently reinvigorates stem cells.
In a study published in the international medical journal Cell Transplantation, a research team found that tai chi can increase the number of stem cells in practitioners. Lin Hsin-jung, a neural surgeon and head of China Medical University Beigang Hospital in southern Taiwan, said Saturday that his team's research has been selected as the cover story for the latest issue of the journal. He noted that the public has long considered Tai Chi to be good for the body, and practitioners say it helps them live a longer, healthier life.
Lin and a team of researchers put the theory to the test with three years of research. In the study, 60 subjects were divided into three groups, two of which undertook tai chi and speed walking, respectively, and a control group that did no exercise at all.

List of acupuncture points. System of main meridians with acupuncture point locations In east Asian countries practitioners commonly refer to acupuncture points by their traditional names.
Some points have several names. When acupuncture was adopted in the western world, a standard nomenclature was developed to unambiguously identify the acupuncture points on meridians. This model achieved wide acceptance and today virtually every book on acupuncture refers to acupuncture points using it. Each acupuncture point is identified by the meridian on which it is located and its number in the point sequence on that channel. The above figure and the tables below follow the standard numbering scheme to identify the acupuncture points of the main channels. Spleen-meridian[edit] Abbreviated as SP, described in Chinese as 足太阴睥经穴 or 足太陰脾經.
Heart-meridian[edit] Abbreviated as HE, HT or H, described in Chinese as 手少阴心经穴 or 手少陰心經. Small intestine-meridian[edit] Abbreviated as SI, described in Chinese as 手太阳小肠经穴 or 手太陽小腸經.

Dr. EŐRY AJÁNDOK - a Szent Korona Szabadegyetem tanárának előadása. Acupuncture Point SanYinJiao(SP6) - Three Yin Intersection. One of the most commonly used acupuncture points used for gynecological, fertility, digestive, urinary, sexual and emotional disorders is SanYinJiao, or Spleen 6.
Its name translates into English as Three Yin Intersection, reflective of it being a meeting point of the three yin channels of the leg (Spleen, Liver and Kidney). One needle; three meridians. SanYinJiao is classified as one of the “forbidden points”, since it is contra-indicated to use during pregnancy because of its influence on the musculature of the uterus. This point has been shown to decrease pain during labour, to reduce pain of menstrual cramps, and to reduce the effects of menopausal syndrome.
It is used with gentle stimulation to help ripen the cervix in the last few weeks of pregnancy, and it is used with more intense stimulation to induce labour and reduce menstrual pain. Remember – if you are trying to get pregnant, do not apply pressure to this point in your luteal phase (after you have ovulated)!
