Gongsun (SP4) pairs with Neiguan (PC6), and Lieque (LU7) can alleviate conditions associated with Zhaohai (KI6). Linqi (GB41) and Waiguan (TE5) serve as the principal and coupled points, respectively; Houxi (SI3) harmonizes correctly with Shenmai (BL62). Needling the left side for right-sided ailments reveals upper-lower correspondences; using intention to connect meridians facilitates extensive massage. Tonification and sedation follow the principles of Ying-Sui (following and opposing) and Shun-Ni (compliance and opposition); the Five Gates and Eight Methods are the true principles.
Locating Acupoints: Gongsun (SP4) consists of two points, belonging to the Spleen Meridian. Located one cun posterior to the base of the big toe on the medial side, in the depression; lift the foot and locate it when the soles of both feet face each other. Needle depth is one cun. It treats diseases of the heart, abdomen, and five zang organs, corresponding as principal and coupled points with Neiguan (PC6).
