🌟 The 8 Influential (Meeting) AcuPoints, also called Hui Points, are among the most powerful points in acupuncture practice.

They are known as influential points because each one has a deep action on a specific category of the body: the Zang-Fu organs, Qi, Blood, sinews, bones, vessels, or marrow.

• GB 34 for the sinews
• BL 11 for the bones
• LV 13 for the Yin Organs, Zang
• REN 12 for the Yang Organs, Fu
• BL 17 for Blood
• REN 17 for Qi
• GB 39 for the marrow
• LU 9 for the vessels and pulse strength

Here is how to use them effectively in practice:

✨ Combine them with a local or distal point to target the painful area.

✨ Pair them with a point from the related meridian to strengthen their effect.

✨ Use them in constitutional treatments to regulate the specific sphere involved, for example GB 34 for tendon issues in athletes, or REN 17 for Qi stagnation with chest oppression.

🌀 Examples:
• GB 34 + GB 39: sinews and marrow, excellent for chronic or neurological pain
• BL 17 + LV 8: harmonizes the Blood and supports the Liver
• REN 12 + ST 36: regulates the bowels and strengthens digestion

When looking at the Liver in TCM, we must ask the appropriate questions in order to differentiate patterns and establish the correct Chinese medicine diagnosis.

👉 Remember: Wood is the child of Water in the 5 Element generating cycle, so when stress affects the Liver in TCM, it also depletes the Kidneys.

💨 Internal Wind in TCM is caused by one of the following syndromes:

• Rising Liver Yang generating Wind: tremors, dizziness, deviation of the mouth, hemiplegia, sudden collapse

• Extreme Heat generating Wind, acute febrile disease: convulsions, spasms, high fever, delirium, coma

• Liver Yin deficiency generating Wind: muscle spasms, cramps, tremors, involuntary movements of the limbs, intermittent

• Liver Blood deficiency generating Wind: numbness of the skin and muscles, tics, muscle tightness

• Body Fluid deficiency generating Dryness: dry skin, itching, flaky and scaly skin

🥑 In TCM, the Spleen and Stomach are connected to digestion, the transformation of Qi and Blood, and the overall support of the body and mind.

• The Spleen and Stomach are the source of acquired Qi and postnatal Blood

• The Spleen governs the transformation and transportation of food into nutrients

• The Stomach receives, breaks down, and “ripens” food and drink

• The Spleen governs Blood, it keeps Blood within the vessels and helps prevent bleeding

• It controls the muscles and the four limbs, providing strength and endurance

• It opens into the mouth, and its condition is reflected in the lips

• The Stomach ensures the smooth downward movement of digestive Qi, preventing nausea, reflux, and stagnation

• When imbalanced, symptoms may include fatigue, heaviness, bloating, loose or damp stools, and poor appetite

• The Spleen houses thought, Yi, which influences concentration, memory, and reflection

• Excessive rumination and worry affect and weaken the Spleen

• They are impacted by worry and overthinking

• They support mental clarity, emotional stability, and physical vitality

☯️ When looking at the Spleen and Stomach in TCM diagnosis, we must question and observe signs related to digestion, energy levels, muscles, and emotions in order to differentiate patterns.

👉 Remember that in the 5Element cycle, Fire, the Heart, nourishes Earth, the Spleen and Stomach, and when this balance is disrupted, digestion and assimilation weaken.
