Large Intestine Channel
1/35
Which point is located on the wrist, between the tendons of extensor pollicis longus and brevis?
LI-5 is located in the anatomical snuffbox. You can ask the patient to extend the thumb to better see the tendons. LI-5 is on the wrist, so it's good for the wrist. Since it's the fire point, it also clears heat.
