For wrist joint pain, which additional point can be used with HE-7?

When treating wrist joint pain with HE-7, the addition of LI-4 enhances the overall effectiveness of the treatment. LI-4, located on the hand between the first and second metacarpal bones, is a well-known point commonly used for pain relief and to regulate qi throughout the body. In acupuncture, LI-4 is particularly effective for clearing heat and alleviating pain, making it an excellent adjunct to HE-7, which is primarily used for calming the mind and benefiting the heart.

Combining HE-7 and LI-4 can create a synergistic effect, as LI-4 helps to promote circulation and ease muscle tension in the hand and wrist area. This combination allows practitioners to target both the local symptoms in the wrist while also addressing broader systemic issues, making it a comprehensive approach to managing wrist joint pain.

Other points, while they may have their own indications, do not offer the same direct synergy for wrist pain relief when paired with HE-7.
