✨ Acupuncture Spotlight: ST 40 & SP 3 – Clearing the Mind, Grounding the Spirit ✨
Acupuncture points associated with the season of Late Summer and Earth Element.
In Five-Element Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, every acupuncture point carries physical, emotional, and spiritual significance. Today, we’re highlighting two powerful points that work beautifully together to help restore balance.
🌿 STOMACH 40 (ST 40) – Fenglong “Abundant Bulge”
Spirit: ST 40 helps clear the “mist” that can cloud the Heart and Spirit. It encourages greater mental clarity, emotional balance, and a deeper connection to your authentic self.
Mental & Emotional: If your mind feels overwhelmed with racing thoughts, worry, obsessive thinking, confusion, or emotional heaviness, ST 40 can help clear what Chinese medicine refers to as “phlegm misting the mind,” allowing you to think more clearly and feel emotionally lighter.
Physical: One of the most important points for transforming phlegm and dampness in the body. It may support:
• Brain fog
• Sinus congestion
• Dizziness
• Chronic mucus
• Chest congestion
• Digestive sluggishness
• High cholesterol support
• Swelling and fluid retention
🌾 SPLEEN 3 (SP 3) – Taibai “Supreme White”
Spirit: SP 3 strengthens your inner foundation. It nourishes confidence, stability, and the ability to feel grounded and supported, even during life’s challenges.
Mental & Emotional: This point is wonderful for those who overthink, constantly worry, feel mentally exhausted, or struggle with self-doubt. It helps cultivate calm, centered thinking and emotional resilience.
Physical: SP 3 is a primary point for strengthening digestion and supporting the Spleen’s function of transforming food into energy. It may help with:
• Fatigue
• Poor digestion
• Bloating
• Loose stools
• Weak appetite
• Muscle weakness
• Edema
• Feeling heavy or sluggish
✨ Together, ST 40 and SP 3 create a beautiful combination:
🌿 Clear mental fog.
🌿 Calm excessive worry.
🌿 Strengthen digestion.
🌿 Support emotional resilience.
🌿 Restore balance between body, mind, and spirit.
When your digestion is stronger and your mind is clearer, your body has a greater capacity to heal naturally.
