Today, I am excited to talk about this group of acupuncture points that don’t always get the spotlight—but absolutely should. Xi-Cleft points are where Qi gathers deeply in the meridians, making them incredibly effective for addressing acute pain, blood disorders, and even emotional disturbances.
With just 16 points across the channels, they’re easy to remember—and once you know how to use them well, they can seriously level up your treatments. Whether you’re supporting patients through intense pain or calming the Shen, these points are clinical gems.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
- The difference between Yang vs. Yin Xi-Cleft points—and when to use them
- Point combos for menstrual pain, acute leg pain, and bladder infections
- How Xi-Cleft points can calm emotional outbursts and Shen disturbance
- Why these points great for both diagnosis and treatment planning
