SP2 DADU (GREAT METROPOLIS)
Location: On the medial aspect of the big toe, at the junction of the red and white skin, distal to the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
Point explanation: The Tonification point of the Spleen, both Yin and Yang – though more Yin than Yang.

LU7 LIEQUE (BROKEN SEQUENCE)
Location: On the radial aspect of the forearm, directly above the styloid process of the radius, approximately 1.5 cun proximal to the wrist joint space (wrist crease) in a V-shaped groove.
Point explanation: This is the Luo-connecting point of Lung, which connects it with the Large Intestine, its coupled meridian. This point is at side of the wrist, on the Large Intestine meridian. It is a very important point – used as an Area Distal point for the neck and occiput, as a Meridian Distal point for lung, and a Confluent point for the Extra-ordinary meridian, the Ren meridian. As the point is on the bone, it should be given with skin pinched up away from the bone and the needle pointing either in or against the direction of energy flow in meridian. In most circumstances, it is given in the direction of energy flow, which is with needle pointing to fingers, to tonify the Yin.
The superficial meridians that flow between the skin and the muscle, have a continuous flow from one to the neighbouring meridian. The Lung meridian flows into the Large Intestine meridian next. But this energy flow is not always from the last point of the previous meridian into the first point of the following one. Sometimes, energy flow from one to the neighbouring meridian can be through an earlier point, and into a later point. It should be noted that energy flows from point Lu 7 into Large Intestine, and the point of entry into Large Intestine is through LI 4.
