This acupuncture point can be used similarly to LI 04. The big difference is that LI 04 specifically has a reference to the facial area and head area, the LI 11 so does not have.
LI 11 is the toning point of the colon meridian and thus a potent point to strengthen the colon energy. This point has also proven very helpful for constipation and skin itching for no apparent reason.
