The Yang Yuan Points are not used to tonify yang organs but can be used to expel pathogenic factors a/or release excess patterns. LI 4 - expel wind heat TH 4 - clears heat from the GB SI 4 - treat pain along the SI meridian ST 42 - acute facial paralysis from wind-cold GB 40 - resolve LV Qi stagnation UB 64 - resolve damp cold in the lower warmer |

| Entry and Exit Points |
|
|
| Not all of the entry exit points are the first and the last points on a meridian. The exceptions are LU 7, LI 4, ST 42, KD 22, PC 8, TH 22 and GB 41. The entry exit points do not have a strong theoretical usage in modern clinical practice, however, they may be considered if you want to allow a relative excess or deficiency in one meridian to be offset by it's yin yang paired meridian. For example, if you want to drain excess from the LU and have it flow into a deficient LI you could needle LU 7 and LI 4. |
