Sifeng are a set of four empirical points classically used to treat childhood nutritional impairment (gan ji) and digestive disorders. They excel at fortifying the Spleen and dispelling accumulation, making them highly effective for indigestion, abdominal distention, and parasitic infections. These points are typically pricked and squeezed to express a small amount of yellow-white fluid, often paired with ST36 for chronic digestive issues.
