Point Indication class 12

The DU primary channel: ascends both inside and alongside the spine. enters the brain at DU-16 and DU-20. enters the Kidneys. passes through the Heart. winds around the anus. winds around the external genitals.

The DU luo-connecting vessel arises at DU-1 spreads over the occiput connects with the Bladder channel and spreads through the spine

We can summarize the actions of the points of the Governing vessel as follows: Treating diseases of the anus, rectum, and intestines. Treating diseases of the genitals, urinary system and uterus. Treating febrile diseases and reducing heat in the body.

Treating diseases of the zangfu. Treating disorders of exterior or interior wind. Treating disorders of the sense organs. Treating disorders of the Heart zang, primarily pain and palpitations. Treating disorders of the brain and spirit.

The Governing vessel is the channel that mediates between the brain and the Heart. Clinically many of its points may be used to treat a variety of psycho-emotional disorders, in much the same way that points of the twelve principal channels may be used, especially those of the Heart and Pericardium.

If we try to be more precise about the use of the Governing vessel points, we can suggest that i. their indications generally reflect excess patterns of spirit disharmony such as mania-depression, and ii. they are especially indicated when psycho-emotional disorders are accompanied by fullness and discomfort of the head, dizziness, disturbance of consciousness and epilepsy.
