Which acupuncture points can be used for LU Wind-Cold?

The choice that includes LU-7, BL-12, and Du-16 is specifically pertinent for addressing LU Wind-Cold, an external pathogenic invasion characterized primarily by symptoms such as chills, cough, and nasal congestion.

LU-7, known as "Lieque," is the Luo-connecting point of the Lung meridian and is particularly effective in dispersing Wind and dealing with exterior conditions. It is also helpful in regulating the lung's ability to expel pathogenic factors.

BL-12, or "Fengmen," is located on the bladder meridian and is indicated for the prevention and treatment of Wind-Cold conditions. It serves as a vital point for strengthening the defense (Wei Qi) against external Wind and helps to release the exterior.

Du-16, called "Fengfu," is located at the nape of the neck and is a key point for expelling Wind, particularly when it has entered the body through the head or neck. It plays a crucial role in alleviating upper respiratory symptoms associated with Wind-Cold invasions.

In combination, these points support the body's natural defenses against Wind and help to alleviate the symptoms that arise with this exterior pathogen. Other choices involve points that may address different conditions or symptoms but
