The acupuncture point "KD 24" , 靈墟, is represented by "Lingxu" in pinyin and "Spirit Ruins" in english and may be found:

In the 3rd ICS 2 cun lateral to CV 18.

Of many possible clinical applications, it may be considered to influence the following issues/symptoms:

Local Point, generally useful for cough, chest tension, constricted breathing.
Breast distention - moves qi stagnation in the chest.
Palpitations, abdominal bloating, panic attacks arising from digestive issues.

KD 24 has some precautions to be considered (see our precautions list).

No Deep Needling (NDN)

A single acupuncture point is not commonly thought of as an empirical way to influence a TCM diagnostic pattern. KD24, however, is a strong candidate to be incorporated into an acupuncture protocol for patients who exhibit: Lung Rebellious Qi and/or Stomach Rebellious Qi

KD 24 may potentially be used, in coordination with a well designed acupuncture treatment protocol, to influence the following conditions: Asthma, Breast Distention, Cough, Digestive Issues, Palpitations, Panic Attack and/or Wheezing (Dyspnea)

While not necessarily valid clinically, CV 18 ( Local point for chest issues - pain, cough, a…), SP 19 (Aids the descent of lung qi - cough. Regulate lu…) and ST 16 (Chest tightness a/or pain, asthma, cough. Breast…) are nearby.
