Although Conception Vessel 1 (CV 1), also called Ren 1, is rarely used in acupuncture due to its invasive location. However, it is interesting to note that this point connects the conception vessel with the governing vessel. Most acupuncturists will choose distal points along acupuncture channels to activate this point location.
Chakra Connection: Conception Vessel 1 matches the location for the root chakra. The root chakra represents our foundation, survival, and ability to flourish and thrive. *Because of the invasive location of this point, many practitioners will use Kidney 1, on the bottom of the foot, to activate the root chakra.
Location: In the center of the perineum, Males: between the anus and the scrotum, Females: between the anus and the posterior labial commissure.
Attributes: Meeting point of the Conception, Penetrating, and Governing vessels. Si-miao Ghost point
TCM Actions: Strengthens the lumbus and boosts the kidney; regulates the penetrating and conception vessels; clears heat and disinhibits damp.
Indications: Genital itch; irregular menstruation; pain and swelling of the anus; urinary stoppage; enuresis; seminal emission; mania and withdrawal.
