The acupuncture points for acid reflux, or mostly on the chest and abdomen.
There are many points for acid reflux. I would start with Ren 17 and/or Ren 22. See Acupuncture Chart Notes for more information.
I don’t know. Follow your qi advisor.
I don't have any expertise in this area.
Acupuncture is very unlikely to help reflux. Scientific studies show that the nerves stimulated by acupuncture necessary for this to work are in the back and extremities but not in the abdomen or front of the chest.
it depends on why you have acid reflux. I encourage you too book an appointment with the practitioner of your choosing ASAP
There are no specific points for acid reflux. It is much more complicated than that. But do see an acupuncturist. They may also prescribe an herbal formula for you, and may also suggest dietary changes so your body can heal. But don't ignore it or let it go on for a long time as it can burn your esophagus and lead to cancer.
There are some points for acid reflux: ST21, 34,36,37,40,Cv10, 11,12,13,14,15. Where are the locations, it is hard to tell, you can get an acupuncture textbook to find them.
Only well-trained acupuncturist may choose which acupoints to use for each particular patient.

There is no published scientific evidence showing that acupuncture is effective for acid reflux over placebo or proven therapies.
Unfortunately, that's not how Chinese medicine works - there is no one fixed set of points for the treatment of anything. The points chosen are going to depend on why *you* are experiencing reflux and what else, health wise, you have going on.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be excellent treatment choices for reflux. If you want to try it, make an appointment with a local licensed acupuncturist.
