The trick of locating acupoints

1. Pressing on the exact acupoint usually produces sore, numbness and/or pain;
2. In acupuncture and moxibustion, the following methods are usually used to find acupoints: (A) 1 body inch: the width of the thumb along the bottom of the nail, (B) the total width of the index finger and the middle finger at the second joint is 1.5 inches, (C) the total width of the three fingers of the index, middle and ring fingers at the second joint is 2 inches, and (D) the total width of the index, middle, ring and little fingers at the second joint is 3 inches. If you are interested in knowing more precise or more, please read on;
3. Acupoint positioning commonly takes the body inch where (A) each person’s body inch is unique to have a different body inch in acupuncture and moxibustion. (B) Strictly speaking, the same person on different parts has different body inches;
4. The theory of acupuncture and moxibustion is as follows: (A) 9 body inches between the two Touwei acupoints on the Stomach Meridian, (B) 8 inches between two nipples, (C) in the front chest, 8 inches from the xiphoid to the navel, (D) 5 inches  from the navel to the upper edge of the pubic bone, (E) 9 inches from the axillary striated end to the elbow (inner) crease, (F) 12 inches from the elbow crease to the wrist crease, (G) 10 inches from the Jianyu acupoint to the back elbow crease, (H) 18 inches from the upper edge of the pubic bone to the medial epicondyle of the femur (back of the leg), (I) 19 inches from the greater trochanter to the outer calf nose (Dubi acupoint) (in the front of the thigh), (J) 13 inches from Yinlingquan to the tip of the medial malleolus (rear side of the lower leg), and (K) 16 inches from the outer calf nose (Dubi) to the tip of the outer malleolus.

Attention should be paid to the use of this product

1. Please use this product in accordance with the use pressure and rotation limit of the APP guidelines, so that the product can maintain normal use performance for a long time;
2. What choices are available now include 263 acupoints/symptoms on the lower arm, 93 acupoints/symptoms on the upper arm, 223 acupoints/symptoms on the calf, 89 acupoints/symptoms on the thigh, 464 acupoints/symptoms on the chest and abdomen, and 473 acupoints/symptoms on hand and foot palms. Because the girths of these parts are different from each other, through the restrictions of the mechanism, it is necessary to purchase all relevant straps of different lengths in order to smoothly use the device on all acupuncture points;
3. (A) After purchase, please fully charge the present product by connecting the attached charging wire to the charging socket for your mobile phone, (B) The red light will flash during charging, (C) When fully charged, the red light will go out, (D) In use, the blue light will flash every ten seconds, (E) 65 minutes after the switch is turned on, if you forget to turn off the power, it will automatically power off, (F) Under the use frequency 3 times a day, a single charge can work for around one week, (G) If it is to be idle for a long time, it is better to charge it at least once every six months, (H) If the cell exhausts its life because of frequent use for many years, you can send the product back to be disassembled/reassembled for cell replacement at the basic cost of US$35 (excluding the shipping cost);
4. This product is highly related to your personal physical data (such as various girths and gender), so please operate it exclusively under your own account to enjoy the best performance;
5. (A) Acupuncture is not suitable for underweight people (only using light pressure if taking a try), (B) as the same symptom does not necessarily have the same cause if you can choose the right acupoint or cause, you will start recovering soon, (C) the second picture in each acupoint helps you to get the accurate position;

Other skills for operating the APP

1. On the screen where photos of acupoints are shown, you can (A) set whether to increase/decrease the strength in the bottom, (B) by clicking on the rotation sign on the upper right position, you can rotate the photo, (C) the central picture can be zoomed by two fingers, (D) by clicking on “changing picture” also on the upper right position, the second supplementary display picture will appear, and (E) the second photo basically uses the bones as references, so that the user can accurately locate the acupoint relatively easily;
2. Light massage is designed to slightly stimulate the acupoint, while heavy massage is to feel a little pain, but is tolerable. However, each person’s pain perception and/or pain tolerance are different, so this massager takes the average value of adult males as the benchmark value, while women, minors and those self-assessed to be infirm will automatically retrieve a slightly lowered value through the APP. If you have enough self-confidence in deciding the pressure, you can optionally increase/decrease the pressure accordingly;
3. After logging in, please (A) click on the recurrence of discomfort or new/additional disease, (B) if you choose the former, then click on the recurrence of the old symptom or resume the last treatment, (C) click on the initial period, severe period, improving period or chronic disease (because of the different reminding time intervals for reapplication), (D) click on the body part of the occurring symptom where there is an i circle in the bottom right corner of the screen for clicking to show trans-parts or mental diseases, (E) click on the next layer of body part, (F) swipe the screen to select the most matching symptom you have, (G) swipe the screen to select your favorite acupoint (because the causes of some identical symptoms are very different, if you are not satisfied with the effect of the acupoint selected for the first time, please choose another acupoint, in order to find the most suitable and matching acupoint), (H) select the pressure mode of the selected acupoint, i.e. light pressure or heavy pressure, (I) officially enters Item IV. How to use this product, and (J) when the pressure has reached the preset 100%, while you feel it is too light or too heavy, please use the button on the bottom to increase or decrease the pressure for adjusting the personalized preset value;
4. The pressure % will be displayed proportionally, but before reaching the 100% default value, the hand turning the massager, the muscles deployment corresponding to a specific unconscious posture change of the human body, and/or the circulation of Rong/Wei Qi/pulse all may cause a nonlinear or astable percentage display, which will not be a problem because you will eventually get the 100% after a proper turning adjustment.

This TaoBody acupoint massager must be tied to a specific body part, around which a strap is tied. While not only do different body parts have different girths, but also different persons have different girths. Through repeated research, it could then be finally determined that there are eight types of straps suitable for everyone in the world. As the acupoint determines the discomfort or disease that can be treated, this acupoint massager must be positioned on the acupoint through the strap, the correct size of the strap should be selected for proper operation of the acupoint pressing device.
