: Master Tung rarely needled the site of pain or illness. Instead, he utilized distal points—often on the extremities—to treat the head, torso, or internal organs. This follows the principle of "using the bottom to treat the top" and vice versa.
: This is perhaps the most famous hallmark of the system. It involves needling two or three points in a line on the same channel or zone. This "grouping" creates a synergistic effect, significantly increasing the therapeutic power and "dosage" of the treatment.
Master Tung’s Acupuncture (董氏針灸) represents a profound and unique lineage in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Unlike the standardized "TCM acupuncture" taught in modern universities, Tung’s system was a closely guarded family secret for generations until began teaching it to outsiders in the 1960s. This system is celebrated for its simplicity, immediate clinical results, and its departure from the traditional meridian-based point locations. The Philosophy of Master Tung’s System
Master Tung’s Acupuncture is more than just a collection of extra points; it is a complete, sophisticated system of medicine. By focusing on the body's holographic nature and the powerful synergy of the Dao Ma technique, it provides a highly efficient alternative to traditional approaches. As more practitioners worldwide study this lineage, Master Tung’s legacy continues to redefine the boundaries of modern acupuncture.
