GB31 הוא אזור מיוחד מאוד. If you are not feeling well and have no one to ask—whether the issue is pain or any other complaint—look at the image and locate the most sensitive spots in the area of GB31.
GB31 is a major acupuncture point.
If your symptoms are mainly on the right side of the body, begin by working on the left leg.
Press firmly on the most sensitive point in the GB31 area for one to several minutes. It may be somewhat uncomfortable. Repeat this a few times. Notice whether you feel better overall or whether the pain has decreased.
If your symptoms are present on both sides of the body, treat both legs.
There is nothing to lose—it may help, or it may not—but there are no side effects.
GB31 is a very special area. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAa8kwrRQuK/ Where the tip of the middle finger rests on the side of the upper leg when standing In Master Tung’s acupuncture, GB 31 (Wind Market / Feng Shi) is one of the most powerful points on the body, particularly when used in his unique system. In the Tung tradition, this point is often referred to within the “Nine Miles” (9.99) group or associated with the Upper/Lower Nine Miles points.

Because this point is located on the Gallbladder channel, which is the “Pivot” in the Shao Yang system, its indications are vast. Here is the full clinical list categorized by every possible situation it can be used for:

  1. Pain and Structural Issues (Lower Body)
    This is the most common use of GB 31. It “extinguishes Wind” and moves Qi and Blood in the lower limbs.

Sciatica: Especially pain that radiates down the side of the leg (Gallbladder channel distribution).

Hemiplegia: Used after a stroke to regain movement and strength in the legs.

Knee Pain: Specifically lateral knee pain or pain that prevents bending the leg.

Numbness of the Limbs: For “Wind-Damp” Bi syndromes where the legs feel heavy or tingly.

Lower Back Pain: Especially when the pain radiates to the hips or thighs.

  1. Dermatological Conditions (The “Wind” Point)
    GB 31 is the “Market of Wind.” In TCM and Tung’s system, skin conditions are often viewed as “Wind in the Blood.”

Urticaria (Hives): It is a primary point to stop itching (Pruritus) immediately.

Eczema and Psoriasis: Particularly when the lesions appear suddenly or move around the body.

General Itching: Any skin condition that is aggravated by heat or wind.

GB 31 (Wind Market) is surprisingly effective for Swollen Conchae (Nasal Turbinates) and Sinusitis, though it is located far from the face.

  1. Neurological and Brain Disorders
    Tung’s system uses the leg to treat the head through “Imaged Correlation.”

Parkinson’s Disease: To stabilize “Internal Wind” (tremors).

Bell’s Palsy / Facial Paralysis: Though located on the leg, it is used to treat the wind-stroke that affects the face.

Post-Stroke Recovery: To help with motor control and balance.

  1. Systemic and Internal Issues
    Hypertension: It helps descend the rising “Yang” energy that causes high blood pressure and dizziness.

Headaches (Migraines): Since the Gallbladder channel wraps around the head, GB 31 can “pull” the excess pressure down from the skull.

Emotional Stress: Used for “Shao Yang” patterns where the patient feels “stuck,” irritable, or has a bitter taste in the mouth.

  1. Tung’s “Nine Miles” Specifics (Points 88.25, 88.26, 88.27)
    In Tung’s system, GB 31 is part of a “Dao Ma” (point group) often used for:

Bone Swelling: It is believed to have a deep effect on the bone and marrow.

Heart Issues: Specifically “Heart Failure” or “Weak Heart” when the leg becomes edematous (swollen).

Deep Muscular Atrophy: When the muscles of the leg are wasting away due to chronic illness.
