Which acupuncture point combination is effective for moving qi and blood in the Stomach channel?

The combination of ST-34 (Liang Qiu) and ST-21 (Liang Men) is particularly effective for moving qi and blood in the Stomach channel due to their specific functions and anatomical locations.

ST-34 is an important point that is considered a zi (xi) point, which is typically used to address acute conditions and promote movement in the area. It helps to remove stagnation and can facilitate the flow of qi and blood in the region of the Stomach, addressing issues such as pain or distention.

ST-21, located higher up the Stomach channel, also promotes the movement of both qi and blood, addressing patterns of rebellious qi that may cause symptoms like stomach fullness or distension. It acts on the middle jiao and helps harmonize the stomach’s function, enhancing digestive processes.

Together, these two points create a powerful effect on the Stomach channel, facilitating the smooth flow of qi and blood, alleviating stagnation and imbalance, and promoting proper digestive health. This makes them a well-suited combination for addressing conditions related to qi and blood dynamics within the Stomach.
