Appropriate labor induction points will depend on the patient and their diagnosis and issues at the time of treatment. Commonly used points for labor induction would be the “four gates” LI 4 w/ LV 3, SP 6, GB 21, and TH 6, possibly UB 67.

I wrote recently of a study using acupressure for labor induction which discusses the effects of SP 6 and LV 3 in more detail.
