NOTES
This is the most important point to resolve Phlegm in all of its manifestations and in all areas of the body. It eliminates visible and invisible Phlegm. This is also considered the pre-eminent point to treat chest pain. This point brings up general energy. If the patient has no reserves, nothing to call upon, stimulate this point with moxa. This is the best point for spasms and paralysis, especially in the lower extremities. This point resonates like thunder. this point joins with all of the Yang channels in the head region. The Stomach Lou-connecting channel ends in the throat.
