Stomach Channel

Which point is the Lower He-Sea point of the Small Intestine?
The Small Intestine channel is in the upper body, but its corresponding organ is in the lower body. The He-Sea point of the channel can't reach the organ, so we have an additional point called the Lower He-Sea point which can reach the organ. ST-39 treats Small Intestine disorders, like pain radiating into the testicles or dark, painful urination (HT heat pouring into SI).
