Exploring Stomach 36: Where It Is and Why It Matters
Approximately four finger-widths below the kneecap and one finger-width lateral (towards the outside) from the tibia (shinbone) is where you may find stomach 36 of the lower leg. Connected to the Stomach Meridian—a vast network of energy channels in Traditional Chinese Medicine—this is one of the most important acupuncture sites on the body.
The “Point of Endurance” gets its name from the profound impact it has on general vitality, immunological function, mental and physical endurance, and resilience. When dealing with a wide range of health issues, acupuncturists and acupressure practitioners often refer to this point.
