Large Intestine 4

Large Intestine 4 is the Command point of the Head & Face. This means it has a commanding influence over this entire region of the body. It has powerful protective effects, which we all need when entering the cold and flu season!

Large Intestine 4 is also a Yuan Source point, which means it stimulates vital energy, regulates the function of its associated organ, while also reinforcing the immune response against pathogenic factors that otherwise lead to an imbalance.

Note: Use LifeWave patches on both Large Intestine 4 and Lung 9 to supercharge your body's defenses!
