Which point on the San Jiao meridian is classified as a Jing Well point?

The Jing Well points are located at the extremities of the meridian system and are generally found at the tips of the fingers or toes. These points are thought to have a strong ability to treat disorders of the corresponding organ and are often used in situations of acute pain, such as excess conditions.

In the case of the San Jiao meridian, SJ1 is classified as a Jing Well point. It is located at the corner of the nail of the ring finger and is utilized for various conditions affecting the San Jiao channel as well as for symptoms like fever and vomiting, reflecting its strong energetic properties. This makes SJ1 significant in both acupuncture practice and the broader context of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The other points mentioned—SJ3, SJ2, and SJ4—do not hold the Jing Well classification; instead, they are categorized differently within the meridian system, serving other therapeutic purposes and affording various benefits for associated conditions. SJ3 is known as a Shu Stream point, SJ2 as a Ying Spring point, and SJ4 as a Yuan Source point, indicating their specific roles and functionalities within the therapeutic framework of the San Jiao channel.
