The LU 7 acupuncture point is a strong weapon in the fight against early sniffles and sore throats that accompany seasonal changes. Called Lieque, LU 7 is a very important Lung Meridian point that can boost immunity and maintain respiration. It is situated above the wrist on the forearm, and its primary role is to reduce congestion in the nose, as well as coughing and body aches, thus serving to prevent and manage the common cold and flu.
How does the LU 7 acupuncture point work?
LU 7 is famed for treating wind-cold and wind-heat, two types of pathogens responsible for cases of common colds and influenza in TCM. It facilitates the running of Qi to strengthen the bodily defensive energy or Wei Qi.
At the same time, the balancing effect at the mind level and psychological levels, LU 7 relieves stress, further weakening the body’s immunological status.
What are the advantages of stimulating the LU 7 acupuncture point?
- Relieves nasal congestion: Unblocks blocked sinuses and makes breathing easier.
- Reduces cough and sore throat: Helps to calm an irritated throat and to suppress coughing.
- Strengthens immunity: Boosts the body’s resistance to common infections.
- Eases headaches and stiff neck: Relieves headaches often associated with colds.
- Balances emotional stress: Relieves anxiety, thereby enhancing general well-being.
