CV 6 location: 1.5 cun below navel. Intensifies Qi function throughout the body, treats prolapse of internal organs, kidney weakness, and all Qi deficiencies.

 

CV 12 location: 4 cun above navel. Treats gastric pain, vomiting, nausea, and hiccups.

 

CV 17 location: on the sternum level with the space between the 4th and 5th ribs. Works great for cardiac pain, chest pain, asthma and coughing. Has a calming effect.

 

This meridian plays a huge role in qi circulation. The meridian forms a circular entity with the Governing Vessel.
