The points used in one treatment were:
- LU-7 Lieque on the right and KI-6 Zhaohai on the left to open the Directing Vessel,
regulate the uterus and nourish the Kidneys. This extraordinary vessel is very important
in menopausal problems. - P-7 Daling on the left and KI-3 Taixi on the right to calm the Mind, settle the Ethereal
Soul and tonify the Kidneys. This combination balances Left and Right, and Top and
Bottom: the points are used with the above laterality to cross over with the opening
points of the Directing Vessel (LU-7 on the right and KI-6 on the left). P-7 is particularly
useful in emotional stress deriving from relationship difficulties. - Ren-4 Guanyuan and KI-13 Qixue to nourish the Kidneys, tonify the uterus, strengthen
the Original Qi and benefit the Essence. - ST-36 Zusanli and SP-6 Sanyinjiao to tonify Qi and Blood and strengthen Qi to hold
Blood.

stop night-sweating. This combination of points from two related arm-leg channels of the
same polarity, balances Left and Right, and Top and Bottom. They were used with this
laterality to cross over with LU-7 and KI-6.
