Belt Points in horses versus Daimai (Belt Vessel) in humans

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

..

Although Daimai (Belt Vessel) is not the same as the Kidney Belt

Points referred to below, see

http://www.acucentre.com.au/TCMtheory/3a8extraMs/DaiMai_8.pdf for an

in-depth (great) discussion on the Daimai, and its points and uses.

Though I occasionally use CV17 (on thorax, between forelegs), I have

never used CV points on the abdomen of horses.

 

IMO, not to mention that the penis and udder are in the way there,

needling CV04 in is very risky for both horse and operator.

 

Best regards,
