Sifeng is a renowned set of extra points primarily used in pediatrics. It is most famous for treating childhood nutritional impairment, food stagnation, and digestive weakness, often referred to as 'Gan syndrome'. The classical technique involves pricking the points to express a small amount of yellowish fluid, which is considered a sign of successful treatment for these conditions.
