NOTES
This is a very important point on the Stomach channel, for clearing Heat. It is mostly used for Excess patterns. This is probably the best point on the Stomach channel for abdominal disorders, especially when accompanied by pain and fear. This is also a special point for Food Retention in the Stomach. This point is good for true Heat with false Cold (warm body with cold limbs).
