Q

SI3 Notes

A

One of the main distal points for neck and shoulder pain along with ST38 for shoulders and Luozhen for neck.

In five element acupuncture this point is reinforced to tonify Small Intestine deficiencies

Yuen (2005, The Eight Extraordinary Vessels) notes that this point, along with Zulinqi GB-41, is a Shu-Stream point instead of a Luo point like all the other extraordinary vessels because the Du, along with the Dai mai, are concerned with projecting out into the world while the other extraordinary vessels are about taking in from the outside world.

SI 3 is an excellent point for neck and back issues when coupled with UB 62. Shu-Stream points are where the qi starts to pour down the meridian. They are known to alleviate heaviness and pain in the joints. On Yin Meridians, Shu-Stream points are identical to the actions of Yuan-Source points.

SI4 Notes

A

Abductor digiti minimi trigger point lies close to this point, just distal to the head of the fifth metacarpal and on the belly of the muscle (Travell & Simons, 1998, Trigger Point Manual)

Ling Shu Ch. 26, On Miscellaneous Diseases, advises this point is pierced in case of a nosebleed. If it does not end it advises to bleed Weizhong Bl-40.

Clinically, Yuan-Source points are of great significance in treating diseases of the internal organs. Yuan-Source points are the sites where the Yuan (Primary) qi of the Zang-Fu organs passes and stays. Puncturing the Yuan-Source points stimulates the vital energy of the regular meridians, regulates the functional activities of the internal organs, reinforces antipathogenic factors and eliminates pathogenic factors. This method of treating diseases deals principally with the root causes. The Yuan (source) point from the affected meridian is often combined with the Luo (Connecting) point of the internally-externally related meridians in use.

When the palm of the hand is placed on the chest, this point is located on the dorsal aspect of the head of the ulna, in a cleft level with and to the radial side of the high point of the styloid process of the ulna. It is most easily located by asking the patient to place their arm by their side and their hand prone, and the practitioner placing a finger on the high point of the ulna styloid process. Ask the patient to place their palm on their chest and the point is found in the cleft where the practitioner’s finger will rest.

A

A Xi-Cleft point is the site where the Qi of the meridian is deeply converged. Qi and blood are stored deeply at these particular points. If there appear abnormal reactions at X-Cleft points, it shows that the pathogens have entered the deeper parts of Zang-Fu organs. Thus, they are used for acute, painful symptoms, inflammation, protracted diseases of its pertaining meridian and Zang-Fu organ. Also, Xi-Cleft points of the Yin meridians have hemostatic functions. https://www.steve-woodley.co.uk/?content=pointsearch&point=SI-6

SI7 Notes

A

Luo-Connecting points of one meridian can communicate with two meridians. They treat diseases of the collaterals and can be used to treat chronic diseases, especially chronic diseases of the Zang-Fu organs. Clinically, Luo-Connecting points are often combined with Yuan-Source points in the treatment of diseases.

Ling Shu Ch. 6 suggests piercing the Luo points if a disease is in the Yang of the Yin realm (e.g. the Fu organs) implying this point for disorders of the Small Intestine.

Ling Shu Ch. 10, On Channels, describes the diseases relating to the Luo emanating from this point as:
Repletion: The joints relax and the elbows no longer function
Depletion: Warts grow
(Unschuld, 2016).

Q

SI8 Notes

A

He-Sea points are where the qi of the meridian collects and goes deep into the body. He-sea points are known to indicated treat rebellious qi and diarrhea.

In five element acupuncture this point is reduced to drain excess in the Small Intestine

Ling Shu Ch. 6 suggests piercing the He points of the Yang channels if a disease is in the Yang of the Yang realm (e.g. the skin). This would mean using this point, presumably needled at a very superficial level, to treat skin level disorders relating to this channel.

Combining this with the needling techniques described in Chapter 7 we could suggest using either superficial needling here to influence pathogens in the skin, or leopard spot needling (three needles aimed at letting blood from each side) for pathogens in the Blood.
