Curiosity

Jiquan, 'Supreme Source', is the starting point of the Heart meridian, rarely needled due to its depth, but used in acupressure and fascial mobilization techniques. Indicated for harmonizing the Heart-Lung axis, and for treating shoulders stiffened by emotion or fear. Also useful in cases of patients with respiratory blockages from chronic anxiety.
