The Lower He Sea Points of the Six Fu OrgansThe Lower He - ( Sea ) Points refer to the six He - ( Sea ) Points pertaining to the six fu organs along the three yang meridians of foot. In the fourth chapter of Miraculous Pivot it says, " The six fu organs, i.e. stomach, large intestine, small intestine, gallbladder, bladder and Sanjiao are closely related to the three yang meridians of foot on each of which there is a Lower He - ( Sea ) Point. " At the same time, the three yang meridians of foot communicate with the three yang meridians of hand. The stomach, bladder and gallbladder pertain to the three yang meridians of foot, while the large intestine, small intestine and Sanjiao not only communicate with the three yang meridians of hand, but also closely connect with the three yang meridians of foot. The stomach communicates with Zusanli ( S 36 ) ; the large intestine with Shangjuxu ( S 37 ) ; the small intestine with Xiajuxu ( S 39 ) , all pertaining to the Stomach Meridian of Foot - Yangming. The large intestine and the small intestine pertain to the stomach. It means that their physiological activities work upward and downward. The bladder and Sanjiao communicating with Weizhong ( B 40 ) and Weiyang ( B 31 ) respectively pertain to the Bladder Meridian of Foot - Taiyang, owing to the water passage of Sanjiao connected with the bladder. The gallbladder communicates with Yanglingquan ( G 34 ) , a point of the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot - Shaoyang. As it is mentioned in the fourth chapter of Miraculous Pivot, " The disorders of the six fu organs can be treated by the He - ( Sea ) Points. " For example, gastric pain and sour regurgitation are treated by Zusanli ( S 36 ) ; dysentery or appendicitis is treated by Shangjuxu ( S 37 ) ; biliary pain and vomiting are treated by Yanglingquan ( G 34 ) .
