Zusanli, also known as Xia Ling Point and Stomach Tube Point, is the lower point of Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming.

First, Zusanli, Zu, refers to the acupoint where the foot is located, which is different from the name of Shousanli.

Li San refers to the range of action of substances at acupoints.

It means that the qi and blood substances in the stomach meridian form a large range here. Usually, the substance in this acupoint is the ground meridian water from the Du-mai point.

The name of gastric tube means that this acupoint is the channel for transporting spleen granules.

Fourth, the stomach economic cooperation point.

Because the stomach meridian starts at Lidui point, and the ascending qi of points below Zusanli meets here, it is called the stomach meridian point.

The qi and blood substances are the wet spleen soil underground and the gaseous substances in the sky.

The change of qi and blood is mainly that the part of the soil is evaporated into the sky by water, which becomes the movement of qi and matter in the sky. Only the long-term nourishing characteristics of the soil, so this point belongs to the soil.

Spleen belongs to soil, so points can dry spleen and damp, and generate stomach qi.

Digestive system diseases, nausea and vomiting, hiccup and acid regurgitation, abdominal pain and diarrhea, constipation conditioning are all his strengths; Nervous system diseases, acute and convalescent stroke, central nervous system diseases, peripheral nervous system diseases, spinal related diseases, spinal cord injuries, etc. Will get more qi and blood nourishment and promote functional recovery; Menopause conditioning, knee joint disease, lower limb pain, numbness and so on have gratifying effects;
