Q

LI-2 location & action
(Ying-spring & water point)

[Second Space]

A

Radial side of index finger , distal to meta-phalan jt at junction of red and white skin

  • expels wind, clears heat, reduces swelling
  • child dispersal point
16
Q

LI-3 location & action
(Shu-stream & wood point)

[Third Space]

A

Point on the radial side of the index finger in the depression proximal to the head of the 2nd metacarpal bone

  • expels wind & heat (sore throat, toothache)
  • local point for arthritis of hand
17
Q

Which point on the large intestine channel is contraindicated?

A

LI-4; it induces labor

18
Q

LI-4 location & action
(Yuan source & earth point, Guo Wu command pt, Mu Dun-yang Heavenly star pt)

[Joining Valley Hegu]

A

On the dorsum of the hand btw 1st & 2nd metacarpal at midpoint of the second metacarpal close to its radial border

COMMAND PT FOR FACE

  • regulates Wei Qi & adjust sweating
  • expels wind & releases exterior
  • regulate face, eyes, nose mouth & ears
  • induces labor
  • good for qi stagnation
  • major pt for frontal headaches
19
Q

What is the yuan source pt for the large intestine channel?

A

LI-4

20
Q

What is the earth point on the large intestine channel?

A

LI-4 (also the yuan source point)

21
Q

What point is major for frontal headaches on the large intestine channel?

A

LI-4

22
Q

LI-5 location & action
(Jing-River & fire point)

[Yang Stream]

A

Radial side of wrist btw tendons of extensor pollicis longus & brevis (anatomical snuffbox)

  • clear heat & alleviate pain
  • calms the spirit
  • benefits wrist joint
  • pain in shoulder
  • use as dispersal point for pain
  • clears yangming fire

(Strong influence on opp end of channel)

23
Q

LI-6 location & action
(Luo-connecting point)

[Veering Passage]

A

On the line joining LI-5 & LI-11, 3 cun above LI-5

  • expels wind & clears heat (sore throat, cough)
  • Opens/regulates water passages

LI-6 connects to LU-5: luo-connecting point

24
Q

(Xi-Cleft point)

[Warm Flow]

A

Pt is on line joining LI-5 & LI-11, 5 cun above LI-5

  • clears heat
  • calms spirit
  • moderates acute conditions
  • used for chronic stagnation (Xi-cleft points for chronic, Jing-well for acute)
25
Q

What is the Xi-cleft point for the large intestine channel?

A

LI-7; Xi-cleft points treat chronic stagnation

Xi-cleft points are where Qi & blood gather and plunge more deeply

26
Q

LI-8 location & action

[Lower Angle]
