Which point is the Ma Dan-Yang Heavenly Star point for heat in the body, skin diseases such as itching a rash, and hypertension?
The Yang Ming channel is full of qi and blood, and therefore tends towards heat and excess. LI-11 is one of the main points for clearing heat from the body, and is a commonly used point for skin problems such as urticaria, rash, dry skin, etc.
