LU7 (Lieque, “Broken Sequence”) is the Luo-connecting point of the Lung Channel of Hand Taiyin Meridian. LU7 is superior to the styloid process of the radius, 1.5 cun proximal to the wrist crease, in the depression between the brachioradialis tendon and the abductor pollicis longus tendon. It releases the exterior, expels wind, promotes descending function of Lung, opens Ren Mai.

LU7 is a highly versatile point, serving as the Luo-connecting point of the Lung, Confluent point of the Ren Mai, and Command point for the head and neck. It excels at releasing the exterior and expelling wind, making it a primary point for common cold and headache. Its connection to the Ren Mai makes it invaluable for gynecological issues and disorders of the throat, chest, and diaphragm. It is often paired with KD6 (Zhaohai) to open the Ren Mai and treat throat issues.
