Spleen Channel

1/37
Which point is the Jing-River and Metal point on the Spleen channel?
Jing-River points on yin channels treat the tendons and bones, so SP-5 benefits the tendons and bones. Jing-River points are also indicated for diseases manifesting as a change in the voice, so SP-5 treats stiff tongue and impaired speech (remember the Spleen channel spreads over the lower surface of the tongue).
