Fengfu (DU 16)

Therapeutic functions and clinical indications of Fengfu

• Fengfu is the point through which a branch is sent to the brain (the sea of marrow); it therefore treats brain disorders – cognitive degeneration, memory loss, dementia, stroke, Alzheimer's, epilepsy;
• It is a point at the base of the skull, as it corresponds to the junction between the occiput and the cervical vertebrae (the upper junction), so it treats upper neck pain ;
• It is used for vertex headaches (top of the skull);
• It is also a point that calms the Shen.
  The 3 points at the base of the skull (Fengfu with Tianzhu and Fengchi) calm the Shen. They form what is called the miraculous line.
