This is an important point in order to achieve inner and outer Wind to eliminate. Especially when it manifests itself in neck stiffness and headaches. In combination with Lu07, the Wind-Cold eliminates. To eliminate Wind-Heat, GB20 is combined with Di04 and 3E05.

This point is practically always pressure-dolent, that is, it is painful when pressed, which does not automtically mean that there is a problem in the gallbladder energy area.
Here, other points would have to be used for diagnosis.
LI 11 "Curved pond" - Quchi
Toning point of the colon meridian

High blood pressure, diarrhea, strengthen immune system, menstrual problems, colds, shoulder problems, tennis elbow, skin diseases.
Comment:
This item can be used similarly to Di04, the big difference being that Di04 specifically has a reference to the facial area that Di11 does not.
SI 03 "Back river" - Houxi
Key point of the handlebar vessel, distant point for the neck
- Location:
Several folds appear on the little finger when the fist is clenched. The point is located at the proximal (close to the body) fold, behind the base joint of the little finger.

Cramps, tremor, neck stiffness, dizziness, headache, bilateral back pain, clears the mind, gives clarity to what is important/unimportant.
Comment:
In combination with Bl62, the point Dü03 activates the handlebar vessel and therefore has a positive effect on the entire spine, both upper and lower. This applies to both chronic and acute problems, but only if the pain is on the spine or in the lower paravertebral area (both sides) of the back.
The word Qi Gong consists of 2 syllables - Qi and Gong. The Chinese term "Qi" can be translated for us most likely by "life energy". But it contains more than this. It also means breath and air. In Chinese medicine, Qi is considered to be the invigorating force that flows through all living things. However, Qi is not only inside the body of a living being, but also outside. Qi also shows itself to us in nature. Thus animals, flowers and trees are flowed through by Qi. Qi is the living force that is inherent in everything and that makes life possible.
The Japanese call this force "Ki". In India it is called "Prana". It always means the same thing - the power and energy that is inherent in everything and keeps us alive. In Chinese medicine, health is only possible when the Qi in our body is pure, not polluted and can flow freely.
Due to bad living habits, in the course of time, energy blockages can occur in the body system and as a result, diseases can manifest, which can be physical or psychological in nature. Generally speaking, we can say that a living person has Qi throughout the body.
The word "gong means roughly "body work" or "success through perseverance and practice". Therefore Qi Gong is called "Work with the life energy". We learn to improve the flow and distribution of Qi in our body through movement and concentration to strengthen our health and bring body and mind into harmony. At the same time we learn to stand correctly, between heaven and earth. This significantly improves posture and many aches and pains disappear on their own.
Qi Gong is a holistic healing system with a long tradition, which has been continuously developed until today. It includes health-promoting postures, movement, self-massage, breathing techniques and meditation. Through these various exercise methods, Qi is supposed to be collected and stored in the body, like in a reservoir. The goal is to expel the impure Qi and absorb fresh pure Qi.
Qi Gong is not a medicine that is prescribed for a limited time, but rather it should be practiced daily. In this regard, 20 minutes of daily practice is enough to improve health and one's well-being to a great extent.
Anyone can practice qigong. There are exercises for every age and every state of health. The exercises can be practiced standing, sitting, lying down or walking. So even physically challenged people can easily practice Qi Gong and improve your health in a sustainable way.

The herbal therapy is called "the queen of TCM" in traditional Chinese medicine. This underlines its high status. Herbs form an important foundation of TCM and have a profound effect on the human organism. They can replenish deficiencies, expel states of fullness, warm or cool the body. They are generally referred to as herbs. Nevertheless, minerals are also used in the recipes.
Herbs are usually prescribed after a thorough diagnosis by a doctor. In this diagnosis, in addition to a conversation, attention is paid to the pulse, tongue and overall appearance of the person. Nevertheless, there are herbal mixtures that have proven themselves over the centuries for various problems.
We have made suggestions for all clinical pictures for such proven recipes. Nevertheless, in many cases it may be necessary to consult a doctor or therapist. Based on the individual situation, this person can recognize how the energetic situation really is at the moment and, based on this, recommend the optimal herbal mixture. Of course we do not have this possibility, because we cannot meet you personally. Nevertheless, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will try to help you as much as possible.
For many disease patterns there are 2-3 herbal suggestions. The first suggestion is always the one that from my experience is suitable for most people. However, if there is no reaction, then try the second mixture that is suggested to you.
However, herbal therapy needs some patience, because in most cases it works slowly and subtly. In return, there are no side effects and the effect is very long-lasting.
