Part 2: The Large Intestine Meridian

In our second installment, we’ll take a look at the lung’s sister meridian, the Large Intestine (LI).

The Large Intestine Meridian

The yang to the lung meridian’s yin, the large intestine meridian’s qi flows inward, bringing energy back to the body’s core. Also referred to as the LI Meridian, it travels from the tip of the index finger through the arm and shoulder, up through the neck and to the nose. A wide range of symptoms may arise due to imbalances in the flow of this meridian, from abdominal pain and urinary issues to upper body pain, sinus issues, stress, insomnia and much more.

The Large Intestine Meridian contains a total of twenty meridian points. Here, we’ll review the Ting, Master, Source, Accumulation and Alarm points.

Major Large Intestine Meridian Points

Located at the tip of the index finger, the large intestine’s Ting Point is also referred to in English as the Metal Yang. With the designation LI 1, engaging this point can aid in relief at the opposite end of the channel, including:

• Fever
• Toothache
• Pain/inflammation of the eyes and ears

Referred to as Union Valley, the point designated LI 4 serves as both the Master and Source point for the Large Intestine Meridian. Located between the thumb and forefinger, this vital point assists with a range of issues, including:

• All facial problems relating to allergies, rhinitis, sense organs, teeth, headaches, acne
• Chronic pain
• Blood circulation
• Promotion of child labor

The Accumulation Point of the Large Intestine, designated LI 7 with the title Warm Dwelling, is located on the inner forearm. Treating this point can help address:

Painful musculoskeletal issues at the wrists, elbows and shoulders
Manic conditions, in conjunction with other point LI 5, the Yang Ravine

The Alarm Point of the Large Intestine Meridian can be found at ST 25, a point located in the stomach meridian referred to as the Celestial Pivot. Activating this point helps reset the large intestine meridian and assist with:

All intestinal issues, including diarrhea, constipation, distension, etc.

• Fertility issues
• Fibroids and cysts
• Painful/irregular menstruation

LED Light Therapy as an Alternative to Acupuncture

As more research is conducted on the benefits of LED light therapy, a great deal of overlap has been found with acupuncture treatment. From musculoskeletal pain and virtually all forms of inflammation to organ issues, mood disorders and more, LED light therapy is quickly becoming a remarkably safe and effective alternative or adjunct treatment to acupuncture, all without the use of needles.

The AAH Light’s specific design allows it to emit concentrated light — an important feature not all light therapy devices incorporate — making it ideal for a variety of treatments similar to those provided via acupuncture.
