Spleen Channel
1/37
Your patient complains of fatigue. Her body feels heavy, she feels bloated like she is retaining water, and she has loose stools and excessive vaginal discharge. The pulse is slippery, and the tongue is pale with a thick white coat. You diagnose dampness in the Spleen. What point could you use to drain dampness?
SP-9 is the He-Sea and Water point; it regulates the water passages and drains dampness.
