Large Intestine 19 (LI19) – Kouheliao, Mouth Grain Crevice
Location
LI19 is located on both sides of the nostril, just below the nasal wing, in a small depression at the junction with the upper lip.
Functions
LI19 can help improve nasal breathing and relieve discomfort in the nose and facial area.
Indicators
Safety
Special care is required when treating this point, as it is located near sensitive facial structures. Only trained individuals should apply it.
Medical information
LI19 is located lateral to the nostril, in the depression between the nasal wing and the nasolabial groove, approximately at the level of the lower border of the nostril.
LI19 is used to treat nasal congestion, rhinitis, facial paralysis, and local pain. It influences the opening of the nasal passages and can support cases involving the facial nerve.
Due to the proximity to sensitive structures such as the infraorbital nerve, precise needling technique and caution with anxious or irritated horses are recommended.
