Which Liver channel point is located 7 cun above the prominence of the medial malleolus, immediately posterior to the medial border of the tibia, in the depression between the tibia and the gastrocnemius muscle?

• A. LV 6
• B. LV 7
• C. LV 8
• D. LV 9

Answer: (A)

The position described is a lower-leg Liver channel point located on the medial side, in a hollow between the tibia and the gastrocnemius, 7 cun above the medial ankle. That exact spot corresponds to LV6, the xi-cleft point of the Liver channel. The Liver channel runs up the inner leg and has several points along the medial aspect at specific distances from the medial malleolus; 7 cun above the ankle in that groove is the characteristic location of LV6. This point is used to address acute conditions along the Liver channel and to help regulate Liver qi and blood, which aligns with its position in the lower leg. The other listed points lie at different locations along the leg, not in this same depression and distance from the malleolus, so they do not match the described site.
