The exact location of Yinlingquan is on the inner side of the lower leg, in the depression between the lower edge of the medial tibial condyle and the medial edge of the tibia. This point has the effect of clearing dampness and heat, strengthening the spleen and regulating Qi, benefiting the kidney and regulating menstruation, and energizing the meridians.
Yinlingquan belongs to the foot-taiyin spleen meridian and is also a conjunction point of the spleen meridian. Yinlingquan is effective in clearing dampness and heat, strengthening the spleen, regulating qi, benefiting the kidney, regulating the meridians, and activating the channels and collaterals. It can be used clinically for treating jaundice, diarrhea, abdominal distension, edema, dysuria (unruly urination), pain in the pubic region, incontinence, dysuria, dysmenorrhea, spermatorrhea, and pain in the knees.
It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment for discomfort and symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner after identification of the symptoms. If you need acupuncture treatment, it is recommended to be operated by a professional physician. Do not blindly choose your own acupuncture points to avoid adverse consequences.
