The Golden Duo: Huatuojiaji points and the Golden Line of the Lower Leg Gratefully compiled and edited by group member [Ai Ke] Huatuojiaji points are located on the back and waist, 0.5 cun lateral to the posterior midline, from the spinous process of the first thoracic vertebra to the fifth lumbar vertebra. There are 17 points on each side, totaling 34 points. They have a very wide range of indications. The main functions of Huatuojiaji points include, but are not limited to: 1. Regulating Zang-Fu organ function:They can be used to treat internal organ diseases such as stomach pain, abdominal distension, and indigestion; stimulating these points regulates the function of the corresponding organs. 2. Relieving pain:They are highly effective for musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, lower back pain, and cervical spondylosis. Stimulating Huatuojiaji points promotes blood circulation, relieves local muscle tension, and reduces pain. 3. Improving nervous system function:They have an auxiliary therapeutic effect on symptoms like neurasthenia, insomnia, and headaches. By regulating the nervous system, they help improve sleep quality and relieve mental stress. 4. Enhancing immunity:Long-term, appropriate stimulation of Huatuojiaji points can also enhance the body's immunity and improve resistance to disease. Elder Zhou's Huatuojiaji points have saved countless people; as long as you practice this, many chronic illnesses and difficult conditions can be gradually resolved through this point-by-point clearing process. Huatuojiaji points are located on the upper body, the back and waist, representing Yang. So, what about Yin? That is where Teacher Xuan Bin's "Golden Line of the Lower Leg" comes in. Teacher Xuan Bin believes:Where there is Yang, there must be Yin; where there is an upper, there must be a lower. Where is the lower and Yin aspect of the human body? Isn't it the inner side of the lower leg? This is exactly where the Spleen, Liver, and Kidney meridians pass; clearing them can regulate the Spleen, Liver, and Kidneys.In TCM theory, the Qi movement of the Liver and Kidneys follows the Spleen upward, so clearing the Spleen meridian is especially important.The Spleen governs our muscles and limbs. If your muscles are hard and your limbs are thick—like having huge calves—that is not right. Some say, "Look at those bodybuilders with such massive limbs," but that is not healthy. If a tree trunk is thin and the branches are huge, isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Look at the many marathon runners who die suddenly. Why does this happen? Let's analyze it: their energy is limited. When energy is already insufficient, they continue to draw it toward the limbs; when Qi and blood are all diverted to the limbs, the heart and lungs are left with insufficient supply, leading to fainting, and the cessation of breathing and heartbeat. Thanks to the Huatuojiaji points advocated by Elder Zhou and the Golden Line of the Lower Leg discovered by Teacher Xuan Bin, they are truly a natural golden duo. By learning and mastering their wonderful uses, we can handle most difficult conditions and ensure our physical health.
