CHI ACUPUNCTURE POINT
LU - 1 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔In the space medial to the greater tubercle of the
humerus (when standing) in the superficial pectoral muscle at the level of
the 1st intercostal space.
LU - 5 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔On the medial side of the cubital crease, just lateral
to the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle with the elbow flexed.
LU - 7 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Just proximal to the styloid process of the radius,
1.5 cun above the radiocarpal joint.
,LU - 9 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔On the medial aspect of the radiocarpal joint, just
cranial to the radial artery, at the level of HT - 7. This point is the needled
from the dorsal aspect of the limb.
LI - 4 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones, at the
midpoint of the 3rd metacarpal bone on the medial side. For cats: the
alternative location, the midpoint of the 2nd metacarpal bone on the medial
side. (where the bones split)
LI - 10 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔2 cun distal to LI - 11 (1/6 the distance between the
elbow and the carpus) between the extensor carpi radialis and the common
digital extensor muscles
LI - 11 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔At the lateral end of the cubital crease, one-half the
distance between the biceps tendon and the lateral epicondyle of the
humerus when the elbow is flexed. (Opposite LU - 5)
LI - 15 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Cranial and distal to the acromion on the cranial
margin of the acromial head of the deltoideus muscle.
LI - 20 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔In the nasal labial groove, on the lateral aspect of
the nose, at the level of the widest part of the nostril and approximately 0.1
cun caudal to the haired/non-haired border.
, ST - 1 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Directly below the center of the pupil, just inside the
infraorbital ridge. Penetrate the point by retropulsing the eyeball dorsally
and directing the needle over the infraorbital ridge, through the skin and
under the eye. (Guard the eye)
ST - 2 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔In the depression at the center of the infraorbital
foramen.
ST - 4 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔At the lateral commissure of the mouth 0.1 cun
caudal to the mucocutaneous border. (Joker smile)
ST - 6 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔In the depression in the middle of the masseter
muscle just rostral to the angle of the mandible.
ST - 25 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔2 cun lateral to the center of the umbilicus in the
center of rectus abdominus muscle
ST - 35a - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔In the depression distal to the patella and lateral
to the patellar ligament. Also referred to as "the lateral eye of the knee" or
Wai Xi Yan
ST - 35b - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔In the depression distal to the patella and medial
to the patellar ligament is a point also referred to as "the medial eye of the
