The following are examples of combination of unrelated Yin and Yang channels.
- LU-9 Taiyuan and ST-36 Zusanli to tonify Lung- and Stomach-Qi and Qi in general. The

Qi): the combination of these two channels therefore powerfully tonifies Qi. - L.I.-11 Quchi and SP-10 Xuehai to clear Heat and cool Blood. This combination is

This combination is good when stagnation of Liver-Qi causes a pain in the
hypochondrium extending to the scapula. - S.I.-1 Shaoze and LIV-3 Taichong to move Liver-Qi in the breast. This combination is
