Large Intestine 4
Large Intestine 4 (Joining Valley or He Gu) is a very powerful acupressure point. Do not use this point during pregnancy. Some of the many uses for Large Intestine 4 are: headache, toothache, pain, cough, sore throat, constipation, and delayed labor. It is found on the hand, in the middle of the second metacarpal bone, on the radial side. That means the edge of the hand bone to which your index finger attaches, about halfway between the base of your finger and your wrist. Use your thumb or fingertip to press and hold this point for several slow breaths.
