Did you know two acupuncture points—Lung 7 and Conception Vessel 17—work beautifully together to support both your breathing and emotional balance?
Let’s start with **Lung 7**, also known as "Broken Sequence."
This master point strengthens the lungs and helps your body’s defensive Qi stand strong against colds, flu, and respiratory issues.
It clears the airways, releases external pathogens like wind-cold, and eases symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion.
It’s also amazing for neck stiffness, headaches, and sore throat.
On an emotional level, LU-7 helps the lungs process grief—the emotion most connected to this organ in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
By restoring the natural rhythm of breath, it soothes the mind and promotes calm clarity.
Now, let’s move to **Conception Vessel 17**, known as the "Sea of Tranquility."
Located in the center of the chest, this point opens the chest, regulates Lung Qi, and helps relieve tightness or heaviness.
It’s used to ease asthma, chronic cough, or emotional tension that feels like pressure in the chest.
CV-17 also has a strong emotional effect—it calms the Shen, releases the weight of sadness or anxiety, and promotes peace of mind.
By harmonizing the flow of Qi, it nurtures both emotional and respiratory balance.
Together, LU-7 and CV-17 remind us how deeply our breath, body, and emotions are connected in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
