What is the front mu/back shu designation for BL-22?

The front mu/back shu designation for BL-22 is associated with the spleen. In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), the back shu points correspond to the organ system that they are linked to, and BL-22, which is located on the back, is the back shu point for the spleen. This means that stimulating BL-22 can help with conditions related to the spleen's function, such as digestion and fluid regulation.

The relationship between the front mu points (located on the front of the body, often on the abdomen) and back shu points is significant in acupuncture, as they provide important insights into diagnosing and treating conditions related to the organs they correspond with. In this case, while other choices relate to their respective organs, BL-22's designation as the back shu point for the spleen is well established within TCVM practice. Knowing these associations helps practitioners tailor treatments specifically for the animal's needs based on the diagnosis of organ imbalances or dysfunctions.
