Discussion on ZL's questions of course C
<p>Dear ZL, <br />Let's discuss your questions. <br />
1). For sure we won't insert the needle to the artery or veins, and I think nobody would do that! <br />
It's not dangerous at all.<br />
<br />
2). Yes, the conception vessel never runs to the wrist, so Lieque (LU 7) is a point of lung meridian, but it's a confluent point, which will be described in details in course D. <br />
<br />
3). The word "indication" means the disorders this acupoint is good to treat. This is a commonly used word in medicine.<br />
<br />
4). Some people may have a big mucle at the heel, some may have a smaller one, so to do a big muscle one may do deeper, while to do a small muscle, one may do shallower. So is the depth from half to one cun. <br />
<br />
5). If so, there will be a VERY BAD hematoma! <br />
And later, there will be a large area of bruise. <br />
When you really thrust a big artery, you should take out the needle and press the needled place as hard as possible. <br />
Fortunately it's difficult for a beginner to penetrate an artery, so you don't have to worry too much.<br />
While you are thrusting a needle, if you feel a strong resistance under the needle, you'd better change the place or change the angle of thrusting. <br />
<br />
I think it's also very important for one to know where the big arteries are. <br />
So read the text carefully and see where there are big arteries.<br />
<br />

Dear Dr. King, <br />
<br />
More questions, <br />
<br />
1). Lieque (LU 7) and <br />
Regional anatomy: <br />
Vasculature: The cephalic vein and the branches of the radial artery and vein. <br />
when I insert the needle in Lieque, that mean I poke into an artery and vein? Is that danger? <br />
<br />
2). Why Lieque (one of the Eight Confluent Points, LU 7) , conception vessel never runs to that area (wrist)? <br />
<br />
3). how to understand “Indications” here? Is that a sign when people feel hurt in that acupiont? Or, we can give patient treatment in that acupoint when the patient “Cough, asthma……….”? <br />
<br />
4). Kunlun (Jing-River Point, BL 60) <br />
Method: Insert the needle perpendicularly, 0.5-1 cun deep. <br />
<br />
Why the Kunlun can be inserted for 0.5~1 cun, that area is very thin, the needle almost poke through our food. <br />
<br />
5). How bad if we insert a needle in a big artery by mistake? What can we do in that case? <br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks <br />
<br />
