Source Points
Source Point Bio-electrode Therapy
The following protocol, the All-Meridian protocol, is designed for use by licensed TCM practitioners, students in supervised training, and, where appropriate, patients under practitioner guidance.
Source Point BeT offers numerous other protocols treating some 60+ commonly-seen ailments. The All-Meridian protocol is especially well-suited for constitutional regulation, long-term chronic conditions, and systemic imbalance, rather than acute emergency care.
One does not necessarily have to understand the complex modern science of bioelectricity or ancient TCM meridian theory. When electrodes (either in copper/silver or gold/silver combinations) are applied according to the illustrations below, the body will re-balance itself and heal.

Copper and Silver Electrodes
IMPORTANT NOTE
FOR MEN, all copper electrodes are secured on the LEFT limbs of the body. Silver electrode are on the RIGHT limbs.
​
FOR WOMEN, all copper electrodes are secured on the RIGHT limbs of the body. Silver electrode are on the LEFT limbs. ​
​
Caution: Reversing the application of the electrodes on a meridian will reverse the flow of Qi in the meridians. This will result in a worsening of symptoms. If this occurs, remove the electrodes and re-access the placement.

Acupuncture Point Finder
​In acupuncture, slight variations in point location can alter clinical effect. This becomes even more critical when working with microcurrent-level galvanic effects, where resistance at the skin interface directly impacts efficacy.
Using a simple point finder allows the practitioner or a supervised patient to identify the point’s center of least electrical resistance, which often correlates with:
-
Greater tenderness or “qi response”
-
Increased conductivity
-
More consistent therapeutic outcomes.
-
For long-term self-care protocols, marking the confirmed point with a very tiny tattoo dot (temporary or permanent) can improve accuracy, efficiency, confidence and compliance.
The PU Patch and Skin Tac
From a practitioner standpoint, these materials ensure:
-
Stable contact throughout the session
-
Consistent qi-electrical coupling
-
Prevention of fluctuating stimulation
In TCM terms, they help maintain continuous influence rather than intermittent disturbance.
Suggestion: JAGUA TATTOOS
Once Source points are located, it can be useful to mark them with a Jagua Tattoo marking pen for rapid, easy re-application of the electrodes. Efficiency and efficacy is the objective here. The jagua stain is designed to remain on skin for 8-15 days, depending on your skin type, location of jagua tattoo, and lifestyle. Jagua tattoos will disappear as the skin naturally exfoliates but can last up to one month depending on after care. A permanent, tiny microdot tattoo may even be considered if the patient being treated has a chronic long-term issue. Source points are powerful acupuncture points, and may be used with other forms of stimulus such as lasers, moxa, massage/tapping, etc., with good effect in clearing meridians and improving organ function.

Closing Perspective (for Professionals)
This protocol does not attempt to replace acupuncture.
It offers a low-force, high-coherence adjunct that:
-
Honors classical Source point theory
-
Supports the body’s endogenous regulation
-
Is accessible for long-term care and self-management
Source Point Bio-electrode Therapy functions as a modern extension of classical regulatory methods, particularly suited for chronic, complex, and constitutional conditions.
