Many Thanks Fathy! Based on your addendum, I would like to suggest this translation formula, and hope you and the other collegues tell would tell me what do you think of it.
As I said before, the text is about Moxa Therapy (not acupuncture itself), but the text refers to the acupuncture point as the one that should be heated by the burning moxa stick, so here's my intent to translate it:
نقطة الوخز بالإبر رقم 67 المُعتمدة لعلاج المثانة
Many thanks again to you and to everybody.
