‘Heart Fresh’ was the name given to a Saam acupuncture point pair by the wandering Korean Buddhist monk Doam Sunim when asked about it by his student, Toby Daly. This point prescription is very simple in composition but powerful in effect. Consisting of just two points, ‘Heart Fresh’ involves supplementing Dàdūn LIV-1 and draining Taìbái SP-3, borrowing one point from the Saam Heart supplementation prescription and one point from the Saam Kidney supplementation prescription. This article explores the history of this point pair, which goes 400 years back to the originator of Saam acupuncture, and its development by Doam Sunim and Toby Daly. Two short cases are provided to illustrate the clinical potential of this point combination.
