What are the common points for gallstones? (Hint: There is FM of LR, BS of LR, BS of GB, a special combo for hypochondria pain (of which 1 pt is He-Sea of GB), and an extra point that is 1-2 cun below the He-Sea GB point. | FM for LR is LR-14. BS for LR is UB-18. BS for GB is UB-19. Special combo points for HC pain is GB-24 and (don't ask me why) SJ-6!! Extra point 1-2 cun below GB-34 is called "Dan Nang Xue." |
What are the common points for Seminal Emission? (There are five-- and only one is a BS point (of KD).) | "Horizontal bone" (used for both SE as well as Impotence) is K-11. K-3 for Tonify Kidney. SP-6 (also used as Impotence common point) is said to be "Distal point for genital organs." BS of KD is UB-23. On same line as KD-23 is UB-52 aka "Willpower Door." |
What are the common points for Impotence? (There are only four-- but suggests e-stim between the first two. Hint: One of the two e-stim points is one of the two common points for SE.) | One of the 2 common points that is also used for SE is "Horizontal Bone" aka K-11. E-stim between this point and Ren-2 ("Crooked Bone"). But the 2 points besides K-11 and Ren 2 are SP-6 (also a SE common point) and LIVERR-1!!! |
What the common points for Shaoyang sciatica? | Five GB points: GB-30 (e-stim!) & GB-31 are local points. GB-34 is He-Sea. GB-39 is 3 cun above external malleolus. GB-40 is Yuan Source Point of GB. |
What the common points for Taiyang sciatica? | FIve UB points (e-stim to first THREE!): UB-54 and UB-37 are local points. UB-40 (how can you e-stim UB-40??) is He-Sea for UB. UB-57 is I don't know what (or where). UB-60 is Jing-River. |
What are the common points for Edema? (There are FOUR-- plus an extra for lower leg qi.)` | Low leg qi point is K6 (but MOXA only!). Obvious edema points are SP-9, ST-36 and maybe BS of SP... UB-20. Only not obvious one is the XCP (and Shu-Stream) for SP: SP-3! |
What are the common points for Uterine Bleeding? There are ONLY THREE! | Sea of Blood: SP-10. SP-1 for Stop Bleeding (especially "Failure to Control Blood in Vessels" bleeding). Third and final is that extra "Stop Red" point Duan Hong. |
What are the common points for Lin Syndrome? There are 4 plus a range of 4 local points from which to pick. | First four are BS and FM of Kidney: BS is UB-28; FM is Ren 3. Then He-Sea of SP: SP-9. Finally, SP-6 (??) for "Benefits Urination." The four local points are UB31-34. |
LQS points, generally. There are 3 common in all LQS prescriptions. What are they? | Four Gates: LI-4 and LR-3. But also Influential Point of Qi (aka Qi Gathering Point): Ren-17. |
LQS points for gallstones include 2 points to Clear Heat where fever or bitter taste presents. What are they? | LI-11 and Du-14 (both are Release Exterior/Clear Heat points) |
LQS points for uterine bleeding (and.. not coincidentally Lin Syndrome) include the usual 3 (LI-4, LR-3 and Ren-17) but also include this BS of LR point. What is it? | Both Uterine Bleeding and Lin Syndrome etiology with LQS add UB-18!! (Not that you would ever use it...) |
OK. Sciatica! What are the Wind-Cold-Damp points? (It's kind of a no brainer: one is Wind point; one is Damp point. and the 3rd is either to moxa the king Shaoyang sciatica point or the kind Taiyang sciatica point!) | Damp is SP-9. Wind is GB-20. Moxa GB-30 for Shaoyang sciatica. Moxa UB-54 for Taiyang sciatica. |
Qi & Blood Stasis points for sciatica. There are 4 points. Two are the Four Gates. (No ST-36 here for whatever reason, but the Sea of Blood point is one of the other two. The 4th is the BS for Blood.) | So LI-4/LR-3. Sea of Blood point is SP-10. BS for Blood is UB-17! |
Kidney deficiency points for sciatica. There are three. One is YSP and Shu-Stream of KD. One is DU point for tonifying KD Yang. Other is BS of KD. | YSP/Shu-Stream for KD is KD-3. BS of KD is UB-23. Du point for tonifying Kidney Yang is Du-4!!! |
What are the Damp Heat points for Impotence? (This is tough. The obvious Damp point is there. And I suppose the obvious Clear Heat from LR channel point. But FM of UB!!?? and then the UB local points choice.) | Damp is SP-9. Jing-Spring of LR is LR-2. FM of UB is.... Ren-3! And local UB points for DH in LR are UB-31-34. |
What are the "Tonify Qi and Blood" points for Impotence d/t "overthinking" or too much stress? | Tonify qi is ST-36. Tonify Blood is would maybe be SP-10, but it's not in this list!! "Sea of Qi" is Ren-6. HT-7 is YSP for Heart. Then we have BS for HT (UB-15) and BS for SP (UB-20). |
Three points to moxa, one point to needle (BS of KD), one point to e-stim for MMF decline or KD Essence Xu causing impotence. | The three points to moxa are Ren-4, Du-4 and Ren-8. The e-stim point is K-7!!!!! And BS of KD is UB-23. |
What odd points does Qi Wei pick up fro LQS leading to impotence? (Hint: we already have the Four Gates, Ren-17 and, let's say, BS of LR (UB-18). The odd point "Calms the Shen" and is located on ventral/yin TCW... | HT-7!! |
Wow... the points for Seminal Emission if d/t KD-HT disharmony. TWO of the points are on the TCW!! One is Tonify KD point on ankle. One is BS of HT. | To correct disharmony of HT-KD he has HT-7 and PC-7. Then K-6 to tonify (KD) yin. ANd BS of HT is UB-15. |
Points for Kidney Xu causing Seminal Emission. One is Three Yin Crossing point. One is He-Sea of KD. The other two are Ren points: Sea of Qi and Gateway to Original Qi. | Three Ying Crossing is SP-6. He-Sea of Kidney is KD-10. Sea of Qi is Ren-6. Gateway to Original Qi is a bit farther down: Ren-4! |
