Dr. Li Jingxiang
Guanyuan (CV4) is the fourth acupoint on the Conception Vessel, located three cun below the navel in the lower abdomen. Clinically, Guanyuan is commonly used to treat various qi deficiency conditions such as fatigue, collapse, and stroke. It is an important point for health preservation. In addition, it can also alleviate common symptoms of kidney yang deficiency in Traditional Chinese Medicine, including male disorders like impotence and premature ejaculation, as well as gynecological conditions such as irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea, through acupuncture stimulation.
