This is another interesting evidence based study.
I use ST36 frequently in my practice; the initial reason is for immune and any tummy issues. I also use it a lot with my clients who have lung related disorders as it pulls pathogens from the lungs. This study is really interesting as it is proving the St36 not only pulls pathogens from the lungs but creates a significant reduction in anti-inflammatory biochemicals suggesting that it may be effective in treating the resultant COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This is great for humans and pets. So if you are a smoker and you have a pet do this point on yourself and your pet as second hand smoke is equally as toxic. Also if you or your pet has asthma or any other bronchial disturbances. I would try this as well to see if you notice a difference. Obviously you want to check with your Dr and or your vet and get a diagnosis so you know what you are dealing with. Happy pointing ….

ST 36 find the front of the knee and slide your finger down into the little groove on the lateral side of each knee This point serves double duty it pulls pathogens out of the lungs, helps with any digestive issues, and supports the immune system.
