toe, .1 cun from the corner of the nail.
Classification:
Jing-Well point of the Urinary Bladder Meridian

- Malposition of fetus, difficult labor
- Headache, eye pain, nasal congestion,
epistaxis
Functions:
Eliminates Wind, clears the head and
eyes, turns the fetus and helps labor.
Notes:
UB 67 is the point to turn the fetus.
Because this point is the place where the UB meridian and Kidney meridian
connect, it can regulate the Kidney and tonify Qi. If the Kidney Qi is not
sufficient, it is difficult to maintain the fetus in the correct position. The
deficiency of Kidney Qi also causes lack of strength, making the labor
difficult. UB 67 regulates and tonifies Kidney Qi.
Jing-Well
points are where the qi bubbles up. Jing-Well points are indicated to revive
consciousness. Jing-Well points are known to treat fullness below the Heart and
clear Heat.
