Meeting Place of the 3 Yin — Sān Yīn Jiāo
This acupuncture point is used in Chinese medicine to tonify the spleen energy. It is often combined with the point St 36 used. Due to our diet, many people suffer from a spleen qi deficiency, which manifests itself in sweet cravings, tiredness after lunch, general fatigue and weight problems.
Another area of action of this acupuncture point is that it removes dampness from the lower of the 3 heaters. Thus, it also has a specific effect on the urinary tract and is used here for micturition disorders, dysuria (pain during urination) and cloudy urine.
Sp 06 is also an important point to strengthen blood and yin and is therefore used for blood deficiency and yin deficiency.
Sp 06 is also one of the main points in any gynecological problems, as it regulates the uterus and menstruation and can resolve pain.
On the psychological level, the acupuncture point has a lot to offer. Thus, it has a strong calming effect on the mind and is therefore used for sleep disorders. Due to its effect on the liver energy, it also works very well with irritability and generally brings us back to our center.
