Acupuncture and Moxibustion
鍼灸 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja word for acupuncture-moxibustion.
Pressure Points
diǎn xué
tenketsu
點穴 means pressure points in Chinese and Japanese.
In martial arts, this term refers to hitting a pressure point or vulnerable body cavity. 點穴 is not the term “dim mak,” but it is often used in place of or with dim mak.
In medical terms, these are just pressure points, which can be places for acupuncture or the application of moxibustion.
