Acupoints have magical effects of "quick pressing" and "quick exorcism".
There are about 52 single points, 309 double points, 48 odd points and 409 odd points. There are 108 acupoints, of which 72 acupoints generally use massage techniques such as point, press and massage, which will not cause harm to human body, and the other 36 acupoints are deadly acupoints, commonly known as' dead acupoints'.
