Which point serves as a Luo Connecting point?

Luo Connecting points are specific acupuncture points that serve as connections between the primary meridian and its paired organ or meridian. These points are important for treating issues related to the associated organ and for balancing the flow of Qi throughout the body.

In the case of the chosen answer, Du-1, it is recognized as the Luo Connecting point for the Du Mai, or Governing Vessel. This point is located at the base of the sacrum and is crucial for managing lower back pain and issues related to the spinal cord. It connects the Governing Vessel with the Yang channels of the body, providing significant benefits in regulating the Yang Qi and addressing disturbances in the spine and central nervous system.

The other points listed do not serve as Luo Connecting points. Ren-5, Ren-14, and Ren-22 are located on the Ren Mai, or Conception Vessel, but they do not specifically function as Luo Connecting points for any meridian. Instead, Ren-5 is associated with regulating fluids, Ren-14 connects with the Heart, and Ren-22 influences the throat and respiratory function. Each point has its therapeutic role, but they do not fulfill the specific function of bridging a primary meridian as Luo Connecting points do.
