Luo Points
Luo Points is an acupuncture term referring to special points in the body that are believed to have greater significance. According to acupuncture theory, the points, twelve in all, are places where the body can be manipulated to greater effect when applying acupuncture or tui na techniques, and can be used to aid the circulation of qi so as to keep the body healthy. Luo Points are points where a meridian exits off from the main flow and connects with the Yin/Yang paired meridian. They are considered "connecting points".
