ST37, however, is a strong candidate to be incorporated into an acupuncture protocol for patients who exhibit: Blood Stagnation, Spleen Blood Deficiency, Stomach Fire and/or Stomach Food Stagnation
ST 37 may potentially be used, in coordination with a well designed acupuncture treatment protocol, to influence the following conditions: Abdominal Pain, Borborygmus, Constipation, Diarrhea, Dysentary and/or Leukemia
