The third installment of our Light Therapy & TCM Acupuncture blog series has us investigating the Spleen Meridian.

Classified as a Yin Meridian, the Spleen Meridian is sister to the Stomach Meridian, which we’ll be discussing next month.

The Spleen Meridian

The Spleen Meridian originates at the tip of the big toe, traveling up the leg and crossing the Liver Meridian. It then moves through the spleen and stomach, up to the root of the tongue. Another branch connects the stomach and heart. Disruption in the flow of qi in this meridian primarily results in blood deficiencies, heart palpitations and disorders relating to memory and sleep.

Featuring a total of twenty-one acupoints, here we’ll review the Ting, Source, Master, Accumulation and Alarm Points.

Major Spleen Meridian Points

Located at the tip of the big toe, the Ting Point of the Spleen Meridian is referred to in English as the Hidden White. With the designation SP 1, this point assists with both the physical and emotional, including:

Next we have the Source Point, designated SP 3. Located near the ball of the foot, referred to as Supreme White, this important point aids in:

LED Light Therapy as an Alternative to Acupuncture

LED light therapy has been shown to be a promising alternative therapy for many conditions affecting or originating in the major organs. From improving digestion and the immune system to promoting organ function and easing painful side effects, light therapy is quickly becoming a remarkably effective solution for all manner of internal conditions.

Coupled with the AAH Light’s ability to provide highly focused light in concentrated areas, light therapy has been shown to activate various acupoints in much the same way as acupuncture — without the needles!
