Q

Describe the points + locations of the SJ channel.

A
  • 23 points: ulnar ring finger -> posterior forearm b/t radius and ulna (b/t SI & LI channels) -> highest part of shoulder -> descends anteriorly to supraclavicular fossa -> neck -> circle ear -> eye
  1. lateral ring finger at base of nail - Jing Well Metal - febrile disease (ears & tongue)
  2. .5 cun proximal to margin of web b/t 4th & 5th fingers - Ying Spring Water - disperses upper jiao heat (deafness, tinitus, HA, earache)
  3. dorsum of hand b/t 4th and 5th metacarpals in depression proximal to metacarpal phalangeal joint - Shu Stream Wood - clear heat/benefit ears - ALL EAR DISORDERS
  4. dorsum of wrist b/t extensor digitorum communis & extensor digiti minimi - Yuan Source - relaxes sinews/alleviates pain - wrist/arm/shoudler
  5. 2 cun proximal to SJ 4 in depression b/t radius and ulna in line to olecranon - Luo Connecting & Confluent Point of Yang Linking - MAJOR POINT for Cold/Flu w/ Fever

  20. directly above ear apex, w/in the hairline - benefits ears, teeth, gums, clears heat (tinitus, deafness, toothache)
  21. depression anterior to supratragic notch, slightly superior to condoloyd process - benefits ears, clears heat (tinitus, deafness) - SJ21, SI19, GB2 order from upper to lower
  22. anterior and superior to SJ21, /5 cun anterior to upper border of root of ear, in slight depression on the posterior border of hairline of temple
  23. depression of supraorbital margin, at lateral end of eyebrow

Q

What are the principle functions of the KD Channel?

A
  • SJ & GB connect at side of head = strengthen relationship
  • belong to fire = many points for febrile disease
    • SJ treats fever at wei & qi levels
    • PC treats more at ying & xue levels
    • shaoyang = pivot = treats malaria = alternating chills & fever
  • benefits the ear
  • clears heat from eeyes (wind heat + LV/GB hear)
  • soothe HT and calm spirit
  • treat HA
  • harmonize 3 jiao
