The spleen meridian has 21 points, it starts on the big toe, on the medial side. It ends at the mid axillary line right between the 12th rib and the armpit. The spleen is the seat of stress and worry, pensiveness. Unable to feel secure (insecurity) and therefor is like having diarrhea, you just don’t know… There are 9 points below the knee we will cover in this video.
The spleen is a Yin organ, it really is the pancreas if you think about it. We know the spleen has immune function as well as recycling red blood cells. The pancreas helps to get nutrients from food with its enzyme reactions. Also it controls the blood sugar levels with the production of insulin as well as glucagon. Spleen has no actual digestive function as discussed in many books. It does deliver the recycled red blood cells parts to the liver for storage and redistribution. But that if for later.
SP1- On the medial corner of the big toe. This is for abdominal swelling, blood in the stool, lower Jiao bleeding. (menstrual and digestive.) It is also used for sleep problems like disturbing dreams, general mental health and convulsion.
SP2-Medial toe at the metatarsal-phalangeal joint (where the toe meets the foot) at the ‘fish’ skin mark… This one is also for abdominal swelling, bloating, distention, gastric pains, indigestion. Diarrhea and constipation. Helps to normalize functions of the lower abdomen.
SP3- on the medial portion of the foot, at the proximal point of the joint of the 1st metatarsal. (head or distal part of the metatarsal, before It widens on the fish line. This one is good for not only the lower abdominal digestive issues, but the General heaviness of the body, ‘borborygmus’ (tummy grumbles) as well as just plain sluggish feeling.
SP4- distal and inferior to the base of first metatarsal, proximally. This one can be good for plantar fasciitis but is commonly used for the lower abdominal issues like the ones previously mentioned. You can feel the foot pulse with these.
SP5- In the depression distal and inf. To the medial malleolus (inner ankle bone) halfway between tuberosity of the navicular bone and the tip of the medial malleolus. It is good for the same abdominal issues, generally. This is a great one for foot problems.
SP6- (IMPORTANT) San-Yin-Jiao. 3” directly above the top of the malleolus. This one is a great one to calm irritability, heals and helps with fear and worry. It is the cross over point of the Liver, Spleen, and the Kidney energy channels. This one is not only for the abdominal issues (bloating, diarrhea, constipation, borborygmus, distention…) but also can help with sterility, delayed labor, other sexual dysfunctions, as well as insomnia and pain in the lower limbs. This one is a great point for stress care and relaxation.
SP7- 3” above sp6 or 6” above ankle, medially. This one also good for lower abdominal issues and coldness, numbness, and paralysis of the leg and knee and good for swelling of the ankle.
SP8- Counting from the medial tibia, 3” from the SP9. This one, in addition to the abdominal issues. Can be used for irregular menstruation and nocturnal emissions in males.
SP9- On the lower border of the medial condyle of the tibial, in the depression on the medial border of the tibia. Can be used for edema of the leg, jaundice, dysuria, incontinence and knee pain. It is one of a group of four that are great for knee pain, it corresponds with part of the Saphenous nerve which basically follows the meridian
