The Lung Meridian: Today many, many people have serious issues with their lungs. Diseases like asthma are off the charts. We can debate forever as to the causes, but when it comes to self defense we always need to be aware of potential weaknesses in the body.
This is the 5th in the series on the acupuncture meridians of the body, and the first of the metal meridians.
The previous article was on the Small Intestine Meridian, however I will provide links to all the articles below also.

Important Pressure Points of the Lung Meridian
Below I am going to list and link to the top 3 most important pressure points on the Lung Meridian.
- Alarm Point LU-01
- Pressure Point LU-05
- LU-08
I have only written articles on LU-01, 02 which are linked above. However there are many important pressure points on the Lung Meridian. 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.
Now for a little more information Pressure Point LU-08 is one of the 36 Dim Mak Vital Points as well as an Underlying Indicator Pressure Point. Pressure Point LU-05 is a basic healing point for breathing issues and resuscitation. Therefore it can also be used to cause sever breathing issues. Please read the linked article on LU-01 as it is a very important and dangerous pressure point.
