Notas
- This point belongs to the Huatuojiaji (M-BW-35) group, linked via the Connecting channel between the DU channel and the Urinary Bladder channel. These points work chiefly to smooth Qi flow through both channels, and needling them allows excess Qi to drain out through the Urinary Bladder channel; their therapeutic effects largely parallel those of the DU channel itself.
- It is particularly helpful for correcting misalignment of the vertebrae.
