Notas
- It is not a commonly used point.
- It serves as a first-aid point for hemorrhage.
- It can be applied when the entire being — body, mind and spirit — feels dulled.
- Small Intestine disorders are better addressed with ST-39 Xiajuxu, the Small Intestine's Lower He-Sea point.
- *In "sheep epilepsy," patients bleat like a sheep and seek out water, attempting to drown themselves.
