What is the significant acupuncture point for addressing aphasia and tongue stiffness?

The correct choice for addressing aphasia and tongue stiffness highlights specific acupuncture points that are well-recognized for their therapeutic effects in this context.

H5 (Luo-Connecting point of the Heart) and Du15 (Ya Men) are important for regulating heart function and communication pathways, which can be vital for speech and language. H5 is known to support communication and expression, while Du15 is located at the nape of the neck, where it connects the governing vessel to the heart channel, playing a significant role in clearing speech impediments linked to tongue and throat issues.

Ren23 (Lianquan) is also particularly effective for conditions related to the throat, including difficulties with speech, which can manifest as aphasia or stiffness of the tongue. This point helps facilitate the function of the throat, thereby addressing both the physical and energetic aspects involved in speech.

Together, these points form a comprehensive strategy for treating the symptoms described—aphasia and tongue stiffness—by targeting both the heart’s emotional effects on speech and specific throat-related functions. The combination enhances the ability to manipulate the flow of Qi to support improved communication and language abilities.
