Efficacy & Actions
This point belongs to the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian and is the Xi-Cleft point of this meridian. It clears heat and benefits the orifices, unblocks the meridians and collaterals, and regulates qi and relieves pain. It is a commonly used key point for treating head, face, and upper limb disorders – especially ear disorders and migraine. First documented in Zhenjiu Jiayijing. "Hui" means meeting; "Zong" means ancestor or gathering. As the Xi-Cleft point of the Sanjiao Meridian, qi deeply converges here – hence the name Huizong (Meeting Ancestor).
