More Info
Due to the point's influence on the brain and heart, it establishes the connection between the kidneys and the heart.
In Tung's acupuncture, the kidneys and heart influence the brain: the kidneys affect the brain tissue and nerves, while the heart influences consciousness and blood vessels. This is an important point that may calm the patient.
I like to needle it together with 1010.01 Zheng hui and GV-22 Xin hui.
Master Tung's Cases:
For finger swelling, use 77.09 Si Hua Zhong first, and if there is no improvement, add 1010.19-20 Tong Shui/Jin.
Severe hiccups: 1010.20 Tong Jin bilaterally.
Neck pain: 1010.20 Tong Jin bilaterally (root: kidney weakness).
Asthma due to kidneys: 1010.19-20 Tong Shui/Jin. Asthma due to lungs: 88.17-19 Sima. Asthma due to heart: 33.13-15 San Shi.
