It comprehensively introduces dozens of methods for treating diseases using acupoints, including traditional therapies such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and massage, as well as modern techniques like laser therapy and ultrasound therapy.

These are new developments in acupoint therapy in the modern era, such as auricular (ear) points, head points, foot points, hand points, nasal points, eye points, and facial points. These are distinct from traditional body acupoints and represent an extension and evolution of the traditional acupoint system, forming an indispensable component of acupoint therapy.
