Which influential point is associated with wind/trachea?

The point associated with wind and the trachea is BL-12, also known as Fengmen. This point is located on the bladder meridian and is particularly influential in treating conditions related to exterior pathogenic factors, such as wind. In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), wind is often associated with issues related to respiratory systems, including the trachea, as it can invade the body and lead to various ailments.

BL-12 is considered a major point for dispelling wind and is used to bolster the body's defenses, making it a key point for treating respiratory conditions that involve pathogenic wind. When wind affects the respiratory system, it can lead to symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or other respiratory discomfort, thereby demonstrating the connection between this point and the trachea.

The other points are not primarily linked to wind or respiratory functions in the same way. Specifically, BL-17 is noted for its role in blood health, GB-34 is important for promoting liver function and resolving pathogenic dampness, and CV-17 is associated with respiratory issues but not directly tied to wind in the same context as BL-12. Thus, BL-12 stands out as the influential point related to wind and the trachea in TCVM practice.
