If you’ve ever been on a university campus or in a human resources office, you’ve probably heard debates about specialists versus generalists. Specialists focus on a single area with great precision, while generalists have broad skills and flexibility. Interestingly, this distinction also applies to acupoints in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Some acupoints are used for very specific symptom patterns, while others are mainstays in many treatment protocols because of their wide-ranging benefits. Lie Que (Broken Sequence, LU7), located right above your wrist, is one of those versatile points. If you or someone you know needs an acupoint that addresses a variety of everyday issues, Broken Sequence is one worth remembering.

Respected for Its Range

Lie Que was first mentioned in the “Ling Shu” (“Spiritual Pivot”), one of the classical TCM texts centered around acupuncture theory. Its strong reputation is backed by the roles it plays within the TCM system.
