Which point is identified as a Luo Connecting point?

The Luo Connecting point is defined as the point on a channel that connects to its associated Luo channel. In the case of the Small Intestine, the Luo Connecting point is located at Small Intestine 7 (SI-7). This point is significant because it has the ability to affect the channels that run alongside it, thereby serving as a bridge between the Small Intestine channel and its related organs or areas.

Small Intestine 7 is also referred to as "Hidden Clasp," reflecting its role in providing a deeper connection within the channel system. This point can be beneficial in addressing issues related to the SI channel, such as conditions that affect the small intestine or related areas such as the shoulder and neck.

The other points listed do not serve as Luo Connecting points within the Small Intestine channel. Each has its own unique location and therapeutic benefits, but they do not fulfill the criteria for a Luo point as clearly as SI-7 does. This distinctive characteristic of SI-7 helps practitioners with specific diagnoses and treatments related to the dynamics of Qi and blood flow in the corresponding areas.
