Gongsun (SP4) connects with the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel), Stomach, Heart, and Chest; Neiguan (PC6) and the Yin Wei Mai (Yin Linking Vessel) are generally connected below. Linqi (GB41) connects with the Gallbladder Meridian and Dai Mai (Girdle Vessel); Yang Wei Mai (Yang Linking Vessel) meets Waiguan (TE5) at the outer canthus of the eye. Houxi (SI3) connects with the Du Mai (Governor Vessel) and the neck/throat; Shenmai (BL62) also communicates through the Luo-connecting vessels of the Yang Qiao Mai (Yang Heel Vessel). Lieque (LU7) connects with the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and the Lung system; Zhaohai (KI6) corresponds to the Yin Qiao Mai (Yin Heel Vessel) in the diaphragm and throat.
[Note] Gongsun (SP4) and Neiguan (PC6): Gongsun is an acupoint of the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian, connecting to the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel); Neiguan is an acupoint of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian. These four points (pairing left/right) connect to the Yin Wei Mai (Yin Linking Vessel). The area where these four meridians converge and circulate is between the Stomach and the Heart/Chest; therefore, they treat diseases of the Stomach and Heart/Chest.
Linqi (GB41) and Waiguan (TE5): Linqi is an acupoint of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, connecting to the Dai Mai (Girdle Vessel); Waiguan is an acupoint of the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. These four points connect to the Yang Wei Mai (Yang Linking Vessel). The area where these four meridians converge and link is around the outer canthus of the eye, behind the ear, cheeks, neck, and shoulders; therefore, they treat diseases of the outer canthus, behind the ear, cheeks, neck, and shoulders.
Houxi (SI3) and Shenmai (BL62): Houxi is an acupoint of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, connecting to the Du Mai (Governor Vessel); Shenmai is an acupoint of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. These four points connect to the Yang Qiao Mai (Yang Heel Vessel). The area where these four meridians converge and branch into collateral vessels is around the inner canthus of the eye, neck, nape, ears, shoulders, upper arms, Small Intestine, and Bladder; therefore, they treat diseases of the inner canthus, neck, nape, ears, shoulders, upper arms, Small Intestine, and Bladder.
Lieque (LU7) and Zhaohai (KI6): Lieque is an acupoint of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian, connecting to the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel); Zhaohai is an acupoint of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. These four points connect to the Yin Qiao Mai (Yin Heel Vessel). The area where these four meridians converge and tie into collateral vessels is in the Lung system, throat, and chest/diaphragm; therefore, they treat diseases of the Lung system, throat, and chest/diaphragm.
Nine types of heart pain causing restlessness, Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) syndrome, Fan Wei (Reversal Vomiting) where food cannot stay, accumulation of wine and food causing borborygmus, pain in the diaphragm and umbilicus due to water retention and Qi disorders, abdominal pain with hypochondriac distension and chest fullness, malaria and Chang Feng (Intestinal Wind) causing hematochezia, retained placenta, and blood stasis attacking upward to confuse the mind: urgently puncture the Gongsun point for immediate efficacy.
[Note] The nine types of heart pain refer to: Yin (Drink/Water), Shi (Food), Feng (Wind), Leng (Cold), Re (Heat), Ji (Palpitation/Fright), Chong (Parasite), Zhu (Infectious/Transmitting), and Qu Lai Tong (Wandering/Pain that comes and goes). Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) refers to chest fullness, hardness, and pain. Fan Wei (Reversal Vomiting) refers to eating in the morning and vomiting in the evening, with food unable to remain. Injury from wine or food, stagnation, and borborygmus in the intestines and stomach; water retention and Qi disorders causing pain in the diaphragm and umbilical abdomen, distension of both hypochondria, and chest fullness; malaria and intestinal wind causing blood in stool; as well as retained placenta in women and blood stasis attacking upward to confuse the mind—all should be treated by needling the Gongsun point, resulting in immediate effect.
