The Knee Joint: The knee is a hinge type joint that consists of the Femur and the Tibia (mainly) with the Fibula on the outside (laterally) and the patella as a sesamoid bone in the tendon of the rectus femoris.

The Quadriceps muscles (or Quads) is four muscles; the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and the vastus intermedius which is deep to the other three. The Hamstrings or main flexors of the knee are three muscles; the bicep femoris, semimembranosus and semitendinosus.

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

Electric acupuncture pen for Small Intestine meridian (clearing out energies)

The electrical acupuncture meridian point stimulation pen for the small intestine meridian.

See the video here... Small intestine meridian, acupuncture pen.

The small intestine lies in the belly, surrounded by the large intestine.  Its main job (physiologically) is to separate the good from the bad.  Take the nutrients from food and get it to the blood stream.  it helps release mucus, and is the laboratory to break down all your foodstuffs with specific enzymes that help break fats, proteins and carbohydrates into useful chemicals we can use to support, repair and build our bodies.
In acupuncture theory, we use a little different understanding.  The small intestine IS the place we separate bad from good, like wheat from the chaff.  Here are the points.

1.      Small intestine. Has 19 points that begin on the ulnar side of the little finger(outer)  it ends at the where the jaw opens in front of the ear. 

a.      S1 Metal Point. at the ulnar side of the pinky finger nail.   Removes obstructions, opens openings.  Improves lactation, opens glands of breast. Cloudiness of the cornea, Clears eyes.

b.      S2. Water Point, When a loose fist is made, where the crease of the pinky ends on the fish skin. At proximal phalange.  Clears heat, for numbness , fever, headache and ringing in ears. Neck pain/stiffness. Also for eye.

c.      S3 Wood point, Master and toning point>  when a loose fist is made at the end of the crease that meets the metacarpal-phalangeal joint.  Neck stiffness, hearing trouble blurry vision, clears the mind.

d.      S4 on the ulnar edge of palm between base of 5^th metacarpal and triquetrum bone. Distal crease!

e.      S5 FIRE point.  Near the end of the wrist crease of the ulnar side.  Between the styloid and triquetrum.   Good fir neck swelling, reduces distractibility.  Clears head for choices. Removes obstructions of the meridian.  NOT the intestine per se.

f.       S6 nourishing point.  On dorsum (back) of wrist.  On radial side of ulna…  Used for pain of shoulder, arm and lower back.  A good one.  Relaxes muscles, Brightens the eyes.

g.      S7 Command point for head and neck. Difficult to find.  It is in between 5 and 8 (NOT 6 and 8) and then 1” distal. You may find a tendon there… Good for neck stiffness, headache, Calms mind, Spasm pain of elbow and fingers.  Fevers…

h.      S8 EARTH point.  Sedation point … Where the funny bone is.  Inside on the medial epicondyle space. Good for pain in elbow and wrist/hand.  Removes obstructions and pain in the neck. 

Here is a link if you want to buy one of these. I got this acupuncture meridian pen, also called a laser pen even though there is no laser. Sometimes it is called an electrical meridian pen. It is ok for the price of somewhere between 10 and 30 dollars. I got some and have been using them for self treatment and now getting people to better understand how to use them. Here is a link for the pen to buy on Amazon. https://amzn.to/2XoiLin A continuation of the work with the electrical acupuncture meridian pen. Today I am going over the first few points on the hand and forearm for the Small Intestine Meridian. Use this to help you really feel the points and be able to locate them easier. The more you know HOW it feels the better you will be at locating and treating them. To answer a couple questions; it does not cure anything. It is a self treatment modality you may find beneficial for certain conditions as mentioned in the video, these are traditional uses of the points and not to be considered a cure, treatment, diagnosis or medial treatment.
