Lung-1 LU-1 Middle Palace NEEDLING Transverse-oblique insertion 0.5 to 1 cun medially alongthe intercostal space. Caution: deep perpendicular or oblique insertion carriesa substantial risk of causing a pneumothorax |
On the lateral aspect of the chest, in the first intercostal space, 6 cun lateral to the midline, 1 cun inferior to Yunmen LU-2. Ask the patient to extend their hand forwards whilst you apply resistance to their hand, in order to emphasize the delto-pectoral triangle. First locate Yunmen LU-2 in thecentre of the triangle, then locate Zhongfu LU-1 in theintercostal space approximately one cun inferior andslightly lateral to it; ii. To locate the first intercostal space,first locate the costal cartilage of the second rib which is level with the sternal angle, then locate the first intercostal space above it. |

Lung-2 LU-2 Cloud Gate NEEDLING Transverse-oblique insertion 0.5 to 1 cun. Caution: deep perpendicular or oblique insertion carriesa substantial risk of causing a pneumothorax |
On the antero-lateral aspect of the chest,below the lateral extremity of the clavicle,6 cun lateral to the midline, in the centre of the hollow of the delto-pectoral triangle Ask the patient to extend their hand forwards whilst youapply resistance to their hand, in order to emphasise thedelto-pectoral triangle, and locate Yunmen LU-2 at itscentre |

Lung-3 LU-3 Palace of Heaven NEEDLING Perpendicular insertion 0.5 to 1 cun. Note: according to several classical texts, this point is contraindicated tomoxibustion |
On the antero-lateral aspect of the upper arm, 3 cun inferior to the axillary fold and 6 cun superior to Chize LU-5, in the depression between the lateral border of the biceps brachii muscle and the shaft of the humerus. Divide the distance between the axillary fold and thecubital crease of the elbow into equal thirds. Tianfu LU-3is at the junction of the upper and middle third |
|
|
Lung-4 LU-4 Clasping the White NEEDLING Perpendicular insertion 0.5 to 1 cun. |
On the antero-lateral aspect of the upper arm,4 cun inferior to the axillary fold and 5 cun superior to Chize LU-5, in the depression be-tween the lateral border of the biceps brachii muscle and the shaft of the humerus. Divide the distance between the axillary fold and the cubital crease of the elbow into equal thirds and locate Xiabai LU-4 one cun inferior to the junction of the upper and middle third (Tianfu LU-3). |
|
|
Lung-5 LU-5 Cubit Marsh NEEDLING Perpendicular insertion 0.5 to 1 cun. |
On the cubital crease of the elbow, in the depression at the radial side of the tendon of biceps brachii. |
|
|
Lung-6 LU-6 Maximum Opening NEEDLING Perpendicular or oblique insertion 0.5 to 1.5 cun. |
On the flexor aspect of the forearm, 7 cun proximal toTaiyuan LU-9, on the line connecting Taiyuan LU-9 with Chize LU-5. Divide the distance between Taiyuan LU-9 and ChizeLU-5 into half. Kongzui LU-6 is in a palpable depression1 cun proximal to this midpoint. |
|
|
Lung-7 LU-7 Broken Sequence NEEDLING With the fingers of one hand pinch up the skin over the point, and with the other hand needle transversely in approximal or distal direction, 0.5 to 1 cun, avoiding the cephalic vein. |
On the radial aspect of the forearm, approximately 1.5 cunproximal to Yangxi L.I.-5, in the cleft between the tendons of brachioradialis and abductor pollicis longus If the forefinger is placed at Yangxi L.I.-5, in the anatomi-cal snuffbox, and moved directly proximally over the fullextent of the styloid process of the radius, the finger falls into the cleft between the two tendons |
|
|
Lung-8 LU-8 Channel Gutter NEEDLING Oblique proximal or perpendicular insertion 0.3 to 0.5cun, avoiding the radial artery |
Above the wrist, 1 cun proximal to Taiyuan LU-9, on theline connecting Taiyuan LU-9 with Kongzui LU-6, in thedepression at the base of the styloid process of the radiusand on the radial side of the radial artery. If the forefinger is placed on Taiyuan LU-9 and moved proximally over the palpable styloid process of the radius, it will naturally fall into the depression where Jingqu LU-8 is located |
|
|
Lung-9 LU-9 Supreme Abyss NEEDLING Perpendicular insertion 0.3 to 0.5 cun, avoiding the radialartery |
At the wrist joint, in the depression between the radial artery and the tendon of abductor pollicis longus, level with Shenmen HE-7 (the proximal border of the pisiform bone). The location of this point is normally given in relation tothe crease of the wrist. Since wrist creases are a superficial and variable anatomical feature, it is better to locate this point in relation to the nearby pisiform bone: first locateShenmen HE-7 at the lower border of the pisiform bone,then find Taiyuan LU-9 at the same level. |
|
|
Lung-10 Lu-10 Fish Border NEEDLING Perpendicular insertion 0.5 to 1 cun |
On the the arm eminence of the hand, in a depression between the midpoint of the shaft of the first metacarpal bone and the then arm muscles. Locate and needle close to the border of the metacarpal bone. |
|
|
Lung-11 Lu-11 Lesser Shang NEEDLING Perpendicular or oblique insertion directed proximally0.1 to 0.2 cun, or prick to bleed. |
On the extensor aspect of the thumb, at the junction of lines drawn along the radial border of the nail and the base of the nail, approximately 0.1 cun from the corner of the nail. Perpendicular or oblique insertion directed proximally0.1 to 0.2 cun, or prick to bleed. |
