What is the influential point of marrow?

The influential point of marrow is indeed located at GB-39, also known as Xuanzhong. This point is considered significant because it influences the bone and marrow health, aligning with traditional Chinese veterinary medicine’s perspective on the importance of marrow as a vital substance for the body's vitality and strength.

GB-39 is especially linked to the regulation of marrow production, which includes not just its role in forming blood and energy but also how it supports the bones. In TCVM, the health of the marrow is associated with the quality and quantity of Qi and blood, making this point particularly important in treatments aimed at enhancing vitality and bone health in animals.

In contrast, the other points mentioned do not have the same explicit connection to marrow influence. For example, LU-9 is known to be the influential point of the vessels and is primarily associated with lung function and blood circulation. BL-11, while influential for bones in a broader sense, does not specifically denote marrow. GB-34 is the influential point of tendons. Therefore, GB-39 stands out as the correct choice for its unique role in relation to marrow.
