What is the designation for the Guan-yuan back shu point?

The Guan-yuan back shu point is designated as BL-26. This point is located at the lower back area, corresponding to the governing function of the bladder channel as it relates to the kidneys and reproductive organs in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM).

The back shu points are significant in TCVM because they are believed to facilitate the connection between the body's energy (Qi) and the internal organs they correspond to. BL-26 specifically correlates with the Kidney's association with the body's foundational energy, vitality, and reproductive functions.

Understanding the proper designation and functionality of these points assists practitioners in identifying appropriate treatment protocols tailored to address specific conditions in animals, particularly when addressing issues related to the kidneys or lower back. Knowledge of these points is essential for effective acupuncture and treatment planning within TCVM.
