Ying+Spring+Acupuncture+Points

These points are located distal to the metacarpophalangeal joints or metatarsophalangeal joints and are used for febrile diseases. In the Yin meridians, the Ying-Spring point belonds to the Fire Element. This means that it may be very useful in the treatment of releasing heat from its related meridian or organ system. Also used for heat in body, changes in colour, disease of Yang channels, disease of the Zang.
