Important Pressure Points of Large Intestine Meridian
Below I am going to list and link to the top 3 most important pressure points on the Large Intestine Meridian.
There are articles lined to each pressure point above. However I do recommend my book Kyusho Pressure Point Anatomy of the Online Encyclopedia of Kyusho for more information on every pressure point on the body.
I also want to note that Pressure Point LI-10 is one of the 36 Dim Mak Vital Pressure Points. I will also add that a strike to Large Intestine on anyone with issues within the organ itself can lose control of their bowls immediately. Read the linked articles to learn more about this.
