What is the front mu point for the liver?

The front mu point for the liver is located at LV 14, which corresponds to the area of the liver in the body. Front mu points are known as the 'alarm points' and are typically found on the anterior aspect of the body where the corresponding organ's energy can be accessed most readily. LV 14 is situated on the lateral side of the ribcage, specifically at the sixth intercostal space, making it easily accessible for acupuncture and related therapies.

This point plays a significant role in diagnosing and treating liver-related issues, as it helps to facilitate the flow of liver qi and enhances the function of the liver. By stimulating this point, practitioners aim to harmonize liver energy, alleviate stagnation, and support vital functions associated with the liver, such as detoxification and emotional well-being.
