Acupuncture Deck

Acupuncture Deck – Traditional Chinese Medicine Study Cards

The Acupuncture Deck by Boncho Friends is a visual, reference-oriented study tool designed to support acupuncture point knowledge, needle method basics, and clinical recall. Rather than serving as a textbook or a digital learning platform, this deck is built to help students and practitioners deepen their understanding of acupuncture points, categories, and clinical functions through structured, visual card content. 

This tool works best when used alongside traditional texts, lecture materials, and hands-on practice to reinforce understanding and retention.

• Acupuncture point location and classification review
• Understanding needle depth, insertion direction, and point functions
• Supporting study for clinic application and exam preparation
• Reinforcing theory through quick visual reference 

What This Deck Is Not
