Q

Describe the points + locations of the LV channel.

A
  • 14 points on middle portion of inside leg: lateral big toe -> intersect SP6 -> medial thigh -> pubic region -> crosses REN2-4 -> curve around ST -> diaphgram -> neck -> posterior throat, eye, cheek
  1. dorsal big toe @ lateral base fo nail - Jing Well Wood MAJOR POINT GYN - excess menstural bleeding
  2. dorsum of foot b/t 1st and 2nd toes, .5 cun proximal to margin of web - Ying Spring Fire - clear LV fire/qi - dizziness, redness of eyes
  3. dorsum of foot in hollow distal to junction of 1st & 2nd metatarsals - Shu Stream Earth + Yuan Source = MAJOR point spread LV qi - GO TO STRESS (HA)- mensturation
  4. on ankle, anterior to medial malleolus, in depression medial to tendon of tibialis anterior - Jing River Metal - Spreads LV qi & regulates lower jiao = shan & urination issues
  5. 5 cun above prominence of medial malleolus, posterior to medial crest of tibia b/t tibia and gastrox - Luo Connecting = clear damp heat from lower jiao = STD, shan, itchy
  6. 7 cun above prominence of medial malleolus, posterior to medial crest of tibia b/t tibia and gastrox - Xi Cleft - spread LV qi, drain damp = damp painful obstruction/shan
  7. posterior & inferior to medial condyle of tibia, 1 cun posterior to SP9
  8. superior to medial end of popliteal crease, in depression anterior to semitendonosis + semiembranosis - He Sea Water - nourish blood & yin GO TO FOR YIN XU = blood stasis in uterus
  9. superior to medial epicondyle of femur, 4 cun superior to LV8 in cleft between vastus medialis + sartorius
  10. 3 cun below ST 30 (2 cun lateral to REN2) on anterior border of adductor longus
  11. 2 cun below ST 30 (2 cun lateral to REN2) on anterior border of adductor longus
  12. 1 cun inferior & 2.5 cun lateral to REN2 in crease of groin, medial to femoral vein - eliminates cold from LV & benefits lower jiao - pain of genitals/shan
  13. directly anterior & inferior to free end of 11th rib - Front Mu of SP, Hu Meeting of Zang = major go to for STRESS AFFECT DIGEESTION
  14. on mamilary line (4 cun lateral to midline) in the 6th intercostal space - Front Mu of LV = harmonize LV & ST = liver and digestive disharmony

  • opening into the eyes
  • mainfesting in the nails
  • resolve istention & pain due to stagnation of LV qi in head, throat, chest, HT, LU, ST
  • pacify interior wind & yang uprising
  • cool LV fire
  • pain & swelling of genitals = shan
  • urination disorders
  • lumbar pain
