Which point is associated with the LI back shu/front mu?

The association of point BL-25 with the Large Intestine (LI) back shu and front mu reflects its anatomical and functional significance in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). BL-25, located near the lower back region, corresponds to the Large Intestine, serving as a pivotal point in addressing issues related to this organ.

Back shu points are traditionally viewed as areas that help connect external symptoms to internal organ pathology, providing insight for treatment approaches. BL-25 specifically regulates the function of the Large Intestine and can be used to address disorders such as constipation, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal issues in animals.

Furthermore, the front mu point related to the LI is commonly referred to as ST-25 (Tianshu), located on the abdomen. The pairing of these points highlights the interconnection that TCVM emphasizes between internal organs and their corresponding location on the body, providing a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment.

In contrast, the other points listed—BL-26, BL-27, and BL-28—correspond to different organs or systems and thus do not hold the same associations with the Large Intestine. Understanding this relationship is critical for effective TCVM practice and reinforces the anatomical and energetic frameworks upon which treatment
