Stomach 40 Fenglong (丰隆)
The master point for phlegm (one of my favourites to use in practice
• Category: Luo-Connecting point of the Stomach channel
• Location: Midway down lower leg, about two finger-widths lateral to the tibia crest
• Primary power: Transforms phlegm + damp
Why it’s famous
• Considered the #1 point for resolving phlegm in Chinese medicine
• Works on physical + mental phlegm
• mucus
• nodules
• cysts
• brain fog
• obsessive thoughts
What makes it special
• Luo points connect paired channels → Stomach ↔ Spleen
• Strengthens Spleen’s transformation function
• When Spleen moves fluids well → phlegm can’t accumulate
Clinical uses
• Chronic mucus or congestion
• Heaviness in body or limbs
• Dizziness from damp/phlegm
• Chest oppression
• Mental cloudiness or emotional stagnation
Energetic insight
Phlegm in TCM isn’t just slime.
It’s stagnant matter + stagnant thought.
ST-40 clears both.
Simple takeaway:
If there’s phlegm anywhere in the body or mind, think Stomach 40 first.
