Curiosity

GB41 Zulinqi, 'Tears of the Foot', is the opening point of the Dai Mai, the extraordinary meridian responsible for horizontal energy circulation, connected to the hips, pelvis, and gynecological area. In TCM it is essential for female cyclical treatments (menstruation, premenstrual syndrome, pelvic pain) and for releasing lateral chest and mind, especially when blocked by liver Qi stagnation.
