THE FIVE SHU POINTS
•
•
•
•
•
Jing-Well Points
Ying-Spring Points
Shu-Stream Points
Jing-River Points
He-Sea Points
Jing-well Points
• Where the Qi of the Channel emerges
• Restores consciousness
• Clears Heat & Stagnation, especially from
the opposite end of the channel
• Calms the Spirit (Shen)
• Treats fullness below the Heart

Ying-spring Points
• Where the Qi of the Channel “glides”
• Clears heat from the channel/organ (fire
& water point)
• Effect on the opposite end of the channel
(less than Jing-well)
• Can substitute for Jing-well
• Can combine w/Shu-stream to treat Zang
Examples

Lung
• KID-2 clears deficiency heat from the
Kidneys

• ST-44 clears fire from the Stomach
channel

•
•
•
•
Where Qi of the Channel begins to pour
Yin Channels: same as Yuan-source pts
Heaviness &/or pain of the joints
Combine w/ Ying-spring to treat the Yin
organs
• Yang Shu-stream: channel stagnation
• Diseases which “come and go” - chronic
Examples
• LU-9, SP-3, HE-7, KID-3, LIV-3 all tonify
their associated zang (Shu-stream +
Yuan-source)
• GB-41 disperses qi stagnation throughout

• Mother Point = Point representing phase/
element preceding affected channel on Sheng
(Generating cycle)
• Example: Lung Deficiency: Tonify LU9 (Earth
point on Metal Channel)
• Child Point = Point representing phase/
element following affected channel on Sheng
(Generating cycle)
• Example: Lung Excess: Drain LU5 (Water point
on Metal Channel)
Mother-Child Points
• Classic of Difficulties 69 :

the same as the shu-stream points.

yuan-source points”, they are the primary
point on the yin channels for this purpose.
