What type of point is SJ-10?

SJ-10, also known as Tian Jing, is classified as a He Sea point. He Sea points are located at the knees and elbows and are traditionally associated with the internal organs and the movement of water in the body. They are useful for treating conditions related to the Yang organs and are particularly good for regulating the flow of Qi and fluids. In the case of SJ-10, this point is specifically important for clearing heat from the San Jiao (Triple Warmer) channel and can help address various conditions, including those related to the neck, ear, and throat.

This classification highlights the role of SJ-10 in facilitating deeper therapeutic effects, as He Sea points are typically used to treat chronic conditions, abundant Yang energy, and issues related to water metabolism within the body. Recognizing SJ-10 as a He Sea point helps practitioners understand its therapeutic applications in acupuncture treatments.
