Acupoints used in treatment may or may not be in the same area of the body as the targeted symptom. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory for the selection of such points and their effectiveness is that they work by stimulating the meridian system to bring about relief by rebalancing yin, yang and qi (also spelled "chi" or "ki"). This theory is based on the paradigm of TCM and has no analog in western medicine.

Acupuncture points or body acupoints  are referred to either by their traditional name, or by the name of the meridian on which they are located, followed by a number to indicate what order the point is in on the meridian.  A common point on the hand, for example, is named Hegu, and referred to as LI 4 which means that it is the fourth point on the Large Intestine meridian.

Non-meridian points Additionally, there are Microsystems of acupoints that are typically not located on the meridians. For example, auriculotherapy uses the external ear Microsystems exclusively, utilizing thousands of points that are not on a meridian, but located on the surface of the external ear.
