Which back shu point correlates with GV?

The back shu point that correlates with the Governing Vessel (GV) is indeed BL-16, which is located on the bladder meridian associated with the thoracic spine and the pericardium. In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), the Governing Vessel not only governs the Yang energies of the body but is also considered a major channel for connecting the various meridians.

Each of these back shu points relates to different organs and functions in TCVM. BL-15 corresponds to the heart, while BL-17 is associated with the diaphragm and blood, and BL-18 pertains to the liver. However, BL-16 stands out as it is linked to the pericardium and functions as a bridge connecting the heart and the governing energy of the body, thus it aligns well with the overall function of the Governing Vessel in maintaining the balance of the body's energy. Understanding the roles of these points and their relationships helps practitioners effectively target treatments based on the principles of TCVM.
