As its name 'Meeting of Yang' implies, Huìyáng is a crucial point for conditions involving the lower orifice and the convergence of Yang qi. It is particularly effective for treating disorders of the anus and large intestine, such as hemorrhoids, diarrhea, and dysentery, by regulating local qi and blood. Its ability to address both cold and heat in the intestines, as well as Yang deficiency, makes it a versatile point for complex lower jiao patterns.
