Therapeutic functions and clinical indications
- Purge heat in the eye or ear: conjunctivitis, pus in the eye, tinnitus, otitis, purulent otitis. If heat, we sting, we make bleed.
- Lactation, often used in moxibustion for hypogalactia to increase milk production.
It is the Small Intestine, separation of the pure and the impure, therefore we tone the spleen and the Small Intestine.
We treat the disease in front by working from behind (the meridian behind the breast is that of the Small Intestine).
Conversely, if toxic heat (breast abscess), the point can bleed.
