  • 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.
