One theory is that it is the bone meeting, Leijing Tuyi: "Dazhui (GV14) is the bone meeting, and those with bone diseases can use moxibustion." crossing point: the meeting of the three yang of the hands and feet, and the governor vessel (GV).

[Origin]

"Vertebra" originally referred to a hammering tool, but later it was called the vertebrae because of its similar shape. Among the vertebrae, the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra has the highest bulge, so it is called "Dazhui (GV14)", and the acupoint is named accordingly. It is also called "Bailao", which means that its points can replenish deficiency and cure fatigue.

[Location]

In the depression under the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra on the midline of the nape. When the head is lowered, the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra has the highest median bulge behind the neck and moves sideways with the pitch. The point is below it, between the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra and the spinous process of the first thoracic vertebra.

• Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing: "In the first vertebra (upper) trapped person";
• Zhouhou Beiji Fang: "On the neck
• Waitai Miyao: "The one with flat shoulders and sloping spine is the tall one";
• Zhenjiu Daquan: "The one with flat shoulders Dazhui ( GV14) under the big bones”. One theory is that it is located at the high point of the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra.
• Waitai Miyao: "The upper part is connected to the nape bone, the lower part is at shoulder level, above the vertebra joint, and the rest of the holes are under the joint."
• Leijing Tuyi : "When taking the points of the governor vessel (GV) between the spines, they should be taken at the protrusion of the joint."

[Anatomy]

• Muscles: lumbar tendon membrane, origin of trapezius muscle, supraspinal ligament, interspinous ligament, and deep interarcuate ligament (ligamentum flavum).
• Nerve: posterior branch of the eighth cervical nerve, medial branch of the posterior branch of the first thoracic nerve, accessory nerve; the interior of the interarcuate ligament is the subdural space, and the spinal canal is the spinal cord.
• Vessel: interspinous subcutaneous venous plexus.

[Manipulation]

Slightly upward, insert 0.5 to 1 cun along the spinous processes. Do not puncture deeply to avoid injury to the spinal cord and serious consequences such as paralysis. Once a strong electric shock sensation occurs and spreads downward, the needle should be withdrawn immediately, and corresponding measures should be taken according to the patient's condition. If subcutaneous insertion is needed, the needle can be inserted at the high point of the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra and subcutaneously inserted 1 to 2 inches toward the spinous process of the first thoracic vertebra. moxa cone moxibustion 3 to 7 weeks, moxa stick warm moxibustion for 10 to 20 minutes. When applying moxibustion, you can also set acupoints at the high point of the spinous process. Zhenjiu Zishengjing: "When moxibustion is done on the vertebrae, it should be done at the joint process."
