Study on the Acupoint Location of Sameumgyo (SP6) - Regarding the Theory of 8 Cun above the Tip of the Medial Malleoulus -
Park Sang-Kyun

Abstract
Objectives: : The objective of this study was to examine the acupoint location of Sameumgyo (SP6) from classic literatures.

Methods : A review of SP6 acupoint location on 13 classics of acupuncture and moxibustion was performed.

Results : Differences of SP6 acupoint location were found by classics of acupuncture and moxibustion. 9 classics of acupuncture and moxibustion said the acupoint of SP6 was located on 3 cun above the tip of the medial malleoulus, however acupoint location of SP6 was described on 8 cun above the tip of the medial malleoulus by 4 classics of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Conclusions : Through a classic literature review, it was possible for the explanation that the location of SP6 was 8 cun above the tip of the medial malleoulus, but it was not intended to overturn the theory of 3 cun above the tip of the medial malleoulus regarding location of SP6. This study may be the starting point for future experimental or clinical studies for exploring new acupoint, and is expected to follow up.
