LUO points - Luo Connecting Points are where a separate channel splits off from the main flow and connects with the Yin/Yang paired meridian. help balance life force energy when there are channel problems based on fullness (pain, heat) or emptiness (stiffness, weakness).
I use luo points when the body is divided in half and one side of the body meridian is out of balance with the other. Stimulating that point will help balance the energies between the two. You body will become balanced.
