Acupoint Tools: Reading Aids for Body Area, Cun, and Short Routines
Use acupoint tools as conservative reading aids for body-map browsing, cun measurement, and five-minute routine planning with clear safety limits.
Before You Try This
Tools are educational and not medical advice. They cannot assess personal risk, symptoms, pregnancy, medication, skin, technique, or urgency.

Is This the Right Page to Read Now?
Acupoint Tools: Reading Aids for Body Area, Cun, and Short Routines fails if the hub feels like a flat index and does not explain why one route should come before another.
Open one curated link, check that page's safety boundary, and return here only if the first route does not match the real question.
Curated Reading Paths
Start from a reader task, then open one page with a clear reason.
Interactive Reading Paths
Use one tool once, then open the linked page.
Printable Cards With Context
Cards are useful only after the full point page.

A tool narrows reading, not risk
The body map, cun helper, and routine builder can reduce confusion, but they cannot inspect the reader. A good tool result says what was selected, why the state changed, which safety boundary matters, and which single article to read next.
Controls, tool result, and linked page decide the next path
The useful part of a tool is the control path: what the reader selected, which result state appeared, and which point, routine, or safety linked page should come next. A tool that skips that chain feels decisive without earning it. The hub should make the chain visible before any interactive page is opened.
Body map browsing starts broad
The body map is useful when the reader remembers wrist, hand, face, shoulder, abdomen, lower leg, foot, or head. It is not precise enough to settle a point. After a body area is selected, the next useful step is a full point page with landmark, stop signs, and related links.
Cun measurement needs humility
The cun helper can explain body-relative measurement and why a fixed ruler inch is the wrong mental model. It cannot make a marker exact, especially on painful, swollen, injured, numb, or unfamiliar tissue. If the location remains unclear, the tool should send the reader away from pressure.
Routine builder stays short on purpose
A five-minute routine builder should not reward adding more points. Its job is to keep a mild scenario simple, explain why the state is safe, cautious, or stop-first, and offer one next link. A longer list can make uncertainty feel like completeness.
What the result area should explain
A result should show selected inputs, why this state appeared, why a stronger or weaker state did not appear, the next article to read, and one change-one-input hint. That makes the tool feel like a real product instead of a static paragraph.
When tools should refuse
Pregnancy, children, severe symptoms, medication questions, broken or bruised skin, recent surgery, blood thinners, abdominal red flags, chest symptoms, neurological signs, and uncertainty should push the tool toward Safety. Refusal is a feature in a health-adjacent reading aid.
Questions Readers Usually Ask
Can a tool tell me where to press?
No. It can narrow a reading path, but the full point page and safety page control the decision.
Why are some tool results conservative?
Because risk words should change the next page before the tool suggests a point or routine.
What should I do after using a tool?
Open one linked article, read the boundary, and avoid stacking more points from the result.
