Medical information
SP10 is located on the Spleen meridian, medial thigh, in the depression between the sartorius and vastus medialis muscles, approximately 2 cun proximal to the medial border of the patella.
SP10 tonifies and moves blood, cools blood in cases of heat, and supports treatment of eczema, urticaria, and gynecological bleeding disorders.
Caution is required when needling, as SP10 is close to the femoral vein. Aseptic technique and precise localization are essential to avoid hematoma or vascular injury.
