Acu-Point Spotlight: Large intestine 10
(aka the “Let That Sh*t Go” point)
This is one of my fall-time go-to’s — right when the seasonal “meh” and heaviness start creeping in. In simple terms, Lung 10 helps your body release what it no longer needs: tension, toxins, old emotions, looping thoughts… anything past its expiry date.
The Lung–Large Intestine system is your built-in release mechanism.
Physically, it keeps things moving: digestion, elimination, immune defense.
Energetically, it teaches the art of letting go.
When this channel gets blocked, it shows up clearly:
• tight shoulders or neck 🤕
• sinus pressure or headaches 🤧
• bloating or constipation 💩
• lowered immunity 🤒
Emotionally, imbalance can feel like being stuck — unable to release stress, grief, or worries you know are weighing you down.
When the channel flows, the body exhales: digestion settles, pain softens, mood lifts, and life feels lighter again ✨
How to find + use Large Intestine 10 at home
👉 LI-10 is on the outer (thumb-side) of the forearm, about 2–3 finger-widths below the elbow crease, on the Large Intestine channel.
To stimulate it:
Press or massage the point with your opposite thumb for 30–60 seconds
Use firm but comfortable pressure
Breathe slowly and exhale like you’re actually letting something go 😮💨
Repeat on both arms 1–3×/day, especially in fall
A tiny habit with a big release effect.
If you feel like your body or mind has been holding on a little too tightly lately, you don’t have to work through it alone. Acupuncture can help create that release in a way the body deeply understands.
