What is the SI lower He-Sea point?

The lower He-Sea point for the Small Intestine is located at ST-39. He-Sea points are associated with the water element, influencing the regulation of fluids and promoting the health of the respective organ system. ST-39 specifically is considered the lower He-Sea point for the Small Intestine, reflecting its function in transforming and transporting food and fluids throughout the body.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), the location of ST-39 is pivotal as it is utilized in treatments to access the deeper energy of the Small Intestine, helping to manage conditions associated with its functions. Proper use of this point can aid in digestive health, particularly in cases of diarrhea, malabsorption, or other gastrointestinal concerns.

The other points listed are significant in their own right but do not serve as the He-Sea point for the Small Intestine. ST-37 is the lower He-Sea point for the Large Intestine, BL-39 is the lower He-Sea point for the Bladder, and LI-6 is associated with the Lung channel and is considered a Luo point. Understanding the unique characteristics and specific clinical applications of these points is essential for effective treatment in TCVM practice.
