Conception Vessel 4 (CV 4) is extremely powerful for chronic debilitating diseases. Because it is a crossing point for the Liver, Kidney and Spleen channels Conception Vessel 4 can treat a broad range of conditions: menstrual disorders, urinary disorders, sexual dysfunction, menopause symptoms, and intestinal digestive disorders.
If you want to give yourself or someone you love a BEAUTIFUL pick-me-up treatment, I’d suggest putting a smooth stone on this spot, then covering your lower abdomen with a hot pack while you take a little afternoon nap. This treatment is very nurturing and rejuvenating for someone who is going through chronic health conditions.
