GatorRay - I'm not certain how this acupressure info will come across as I've copied and pasted it from Word - but I'm giving it a shot. Also, I should mention that this was done by the phenomial group at the University of TN for my Truman. I hope it helps! Pictures that correspond with the text are at the end.

GLOSSARY:
Cun: Chinese unit of anatomical measurement. i.e. The length of the first tail vertebra is equal to one cun. The width of the last rib is equal to one cun
Yin: the feminine passive principle in nature that in traditional Chinese medicine is exhibited in darkness, cold, or wetness and that combines with yang to produce all that comes to be
Yang: the masculine active principle in nature that in traditional Chinese medicine is exhibited in light, heat, or dryness and that combines with yin to produce all that comes to be
Damp: In traditional Chinese medical theory, excessive dampness is a major cause and consequence of disease. The nature of dampness is to moisten and nourish, but also to clog and obstruct. It’s intimately related to digestion, and when it gets to be excessive, it can initiate, or by itself be the source of many health complaints. Excess dampness is usually reflected by signs and symptoms of sluggishness and stagnation. It has a turbid, heavy, and sticky nature and it can obstruct the proper function of body processes, especially digestion, elimination, and all fluid metabolisms.
Dai Mai: binds all the Channels which run up and down the trunk, thereby regulating the balance between the upward and downward flow of Qi in the body. It deals with fullness and distension of the abdomen, pain and weakness of the lumbar region, and motor impairment of the lower limb. Indications include fullness and distension of the abdomen, irregular menstruation, leucorrhoea, prolapse, pain or weakness in the lumbar region, weakness or motor impairment of the lower limb, redness and pain of the eyes, vertigo.
