LI 11, also known as Quchi, is a crucial acupuncture point located on the elbow crease. This point is stimulated to treat a variety of conditions related to the digestive system and the upper body. At Acubody, we work with experienced acupuncturists who are adept at helping individuals manage difficult health conditions and improve their overall well-being. We are here to share with you some key points regarding the LI 11 acupuncture point so that when you come to us, you have a basic idea.
Where is the LI 11 point located?
The large intestine channel travels from the index finger, up the arm, shoulder, and neck, and onto the face to the nose. The LI 11 acupuncture point is located at the elbow.
You can easily locate it yourself by bending your arm and looking for the end of the crease on the outer side of your bent elbow.
What does stimulating this acupuncture point do?
The LI 11 acupuncture point is a powerhouse point with two key superpowers:
- LI 11 is one of the strongest points in the body for clearing heat. Heat in the body can manifest as high blood pressure, fever, headaches, sore throat, or simply that feeling of being overheated. It could also be related to sunburn or hot flashes. LI 11 is like a vent for your body, and stimulating this point can release a little steam whenever you need it.
- Another superpower of this acupuncture point is releasing the exterior. In traditional Chinese medicine, a disease or cold caused by a pathogen is seen as an invader which has managed to sneak past your defences. LI 11 is like a big window that provides these invaders a route to escape and leave your body.
So, the next time you are battling heat or cold, do not hesitate to come to Acubody. We will provide you with personalised guidance and also walk you through the nuances of the LI 11 acupuncture point.
Besides these, stimulating the LI 11 point can also help with reducing anxiety and improving mood, improving digestive health and appetite, and alleviating pain from the upper body.
