Erectile Dysfunction

Seminal Emission

UB 31, UB 32, UB 33 & UB 34 together form the “Eight Liao” points and are all useful for local low back a/or sacrum problems and most genital and urinary related disorders. Of these UB 32 is most often used clinically.

As it quickens the connecting vessels may be useful for blockages of defecation or urination.

For the functional and movement aspects for female issues such as - Irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, leukorrhea. And for male issues such as impotence, erectile dysfunction (ED), seminal emission, genital pain.

Q

BL40 Notes

A

Location of popliteal pulse

This point is also on the 4th trajectory of the Chong mai relating to structural aspects of the body via the Qiao (Yuen, 2005, The Extraordinary Vessels).

This point is unusual in Cecil-Sterman’s Bladder Divergent treatment in that it is both the opening and confluent point (Cecil-Sterman, 2012, Advanced Acupuncture).

The “59 piercings” are named in the Su Wen Ch. 61 and mentioned in Su Wen Ch. 32 for treating Heat diseases. This point along with Yunmen Lu-2, Jianyu LI-15 and Yaoshu Du-2 clear Heat from the four limbs.

Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot) Ch. 71, On Evil Visitors, says that when a depletion evil is in the Kidneys it remains in the hollows of the knees. Yuen’s theory of the Divergent meridians suggests that they store pathogens at the major joints, depleting our resources while they do, which would make this a potential point for for the Kidney/Bladder Divergent.
