The 13 Ghost Points of Sun Simiao
In Classical Chinese Medicine, the Ghost Points hold a special place, thanks to Sun Simiao, a renowned physician and herbalist during the Tang Dynasty of the 6th century. He developed the 13 Ghost Points to address what he saw as “spiritual possession” or heavy emotional and psychological disturbances- essentially, the “ghosts” that haunt us, like trauma, grief, and unresolved pain.
