2 cun below LI 11 on the LI 5 to LI 11 line.
Of many possible clinical applications, it may be considered to influence the following issues/symptoms:
- The following relationships exist between the ST and the LI and can be used to treat ST, LI and SI organ problems:
- SI: LI 8 & ST 39
- LI: LI 9 & ST 37
- ST: LI 10 & ST 36
- Shoulder, elbow & wrist pain issues, general achiness in these areas.
- Paralysis in the upper limbs.
- Less dispersive & more tonifying than other LI points.
- Epigastric & abdominal pain, ulcers, vomiting.
- Tong Ren/Tam Healing System: Abdominal issues, any digestive issues, pain in the arm/shoulder/neck, builds energy level.
LI 10 may potentially be used, in coordination with a well designed acupuncture treatment protocol, to influence the following conditions: Parkinson's Disease (PD), Shoulder Pain, Tennis Elbow and/or Wrist Pain
While not necessarily valid clinically, TH 10 (Transforms phlegm, reduce lymph swellings, thyroi…) are nearby.
