"Now I'm going to show you a couple very effective points to instantly relieve the asthma because we already have many sad stories when the asthma attacks suddenly comes to those kids playing on the playground and the asthma cannot be relieved within a couple of minutes and that creates a sad story. One of the points on the neck is called the panting point and if we try to locate this point we ask the patient to bend their neck and then the high is the point. The high is the bone sticking out and it is the seventh vertebra and that is the panting point and that is just next to this bone mark so we can insert the needles perpendicularly point 5 to point 8 and stimulate this point with a dispersing method meaning you can push up and down with a bigger point and with a low rotation and motion and that can help relieve the asthma."
