Lung Channel
1/31
Your patient returned from a trip to the desert and now has a cough with dry, yellow, blood-streaked sputum. You believe this is wind-dryness. What point could you use to clear heat, moisten the Lung, and stop bleeding?
LU-6 is the Xi-Cleft point of the Lung channel. Xi-Cleft points treat acute conditions and pain. On the yin channels, Xi-Cleft points have an additional function of treating blood disorders (bleeding and/or blood stagnation).
