We spend a lot of time looking after the parts of ourselves we can see—our hair, skin, and teeth. However, when it comes to our internal organs, we tend to pay attention only when something goes wrong. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) reminds us that true wellness encompasses both the visible and invisible aspects of the body.
One powerful way to care for your inner systems is by stimulating Fu Abode (Fu She, SP13), an acupoint located on your lower abdomen.
Vital Crossroads of Internal Energy
Fu She was first documented in the “Zhen Jiu Jia Yi Jing” (“A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion”), one of the earliest acupuncture texts, and has remained in clinical use ever since. What sets it apart is its location at the junction of three major energetic pathways: the Spleen and Liver meridians, and the Yin Linking Vessel (Yin Wei Mai). The Yin Linking Vessel plays a central role in transporting yin energy and is closely associated with the health of internal organs. Because of this convergence, Fu She is a key point for regulating energy and blood circulation within the abdomen. In TCM, this translates into improved organ function, fewer instances of pain, and greater overall vitality.
What Fu She Can Do for You
Fu She is most commonly used in TCM protocols to address hernias—disruptions in the structural harmony of the lower abdomen. However, its therapeutic reach extends far beyond that. Due to its link to the internal organs and ability to help regulate blood and qi (vital energy), Fu She is often employed for abdominal masses such as cysts and fibroids.
