Medical information
SP1 is located at the medial coronary band of the hind limb, immediately distal to the medial hoof cartilage, at the junction between skin and hoof wall.
SP1 is used to treat bleeding, especially uterine bleeding, shock, unconsciousness, and to tonify spleen energy. It can also be used for spleen meridian disorders and blood harmonization.
In horses with hoof issues or increased sensitivity, SP1 should be treated with minimal pressure and after thorough disinfection. The proximity to the coronary band requires special care to avoid infection or trauma.
