LU Point Location
As per Deadman
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|

| LU-7 lieque - Broken Sequence is an odd point on the LU channel and is considered to be more in line with LU's YY pair, which is? The name of this point indicates this particularity. | LI channel |
| LU-7 lieque - Broken Sequence is located where? | Radial aspect of the forearm, approximately 1.5 cun proximal to Yángxī LI-5, in cleft between the tendons of brachioradialis and abductor pollicis longus. |
| Because of LU-7 lieque - Broken Sequence's relationship to the LI channel, you can use an LI point to find LU-7. Which point is this? | LI-5 yangxi |
| How do you use LI-5 yangxi to locate LU-7 lieque? | If the forefinger is placed at Yángxī L.I.-5, in the anatomical snuffbox, and moved directly proximally over the full extent of the styloid process of the radius, the finger falls into the cleft between the two tendons. |
| Which vein do you need to be careful of when needling LU-7? | cephalic vein |
| What is the needling technique used for LU-7? | With the fingers of one hand pinch up the skin over the point, and with the other hand needle transversely in a proximal or distal direction, 0.5 to 1 cun, avoiding the cephalic vein. |
| True or False? LU-7 calls for transverse needling either proximally or distally. | True |
| Which LU point lies above the wrist, 1 cun proximal to LU-9 taiyuan on the line connecting LU-9 and LU-6 kongzui - maximum opening? | LU-8 JĪNGQÚ Channel Gutter 經渠 |
| True or False? LU-8 jingqu - Channel Gutter (the Jing River Metal point) is in the depression at the base of the styloid process of the radius and on the radial side of the radial artery. | True 1 cun proximal to LU-9 on line between LU-9 taiyuan and LU-6 kongzui |
| LU-8 jingqu - Channel Gutter can be found by doing what? | place forefinger on Tàiyuān LU-9 and move it proximally over the palpable styloid process of the radius, it will naturally fall into the depression where Jīngqú LU-8 is located. |
| When needling LU-8 jingqu - Channel Gutter what artery do you need to watch out for? | radial artery |
| True or False? Oblique proximal or perpendicular insertion 0.3 to 0.5 cun is the technique for LU-8 jingqu - Channel Gutter, | True |
| True or False? When needling LU-8 or LU-9 one should be careful of the cephalic vein. | False |
| Which point on the LU channel do we use HT-7 to locate? | LU-9 taiyuan - Supreme Abyss |
| Where is LU-9 taiyuan Supreme Abyss located? | At the wrist joint, in the depression between the radial artery and the tendon of abductor pollicis longus, level with Shénmén HT-7 (the proximal border of the pisiform bone). |
| What is the locating trick for LU-9 taiyuan? | Locate this point in relation to the nearby pisiform bone: first locate Shénmén HT-7 at the lower (proximal) border of the pisiform bone, then find Tàiyuān LU-9 at the same level (on wrist crease) |
