Which point lies on the medial side of the lower leg, in the angle formed by the medial condyle of the tibia and the posterior border of the tibia?

• A. SP 9
• B. SP 12
• C. SP 8
• D. SP 7

Answer: (A)

The point sits in a hollow on the medial lower leg, specifically in the angle where the medial condyle of the tibia meets the posterior border of the tibia. This exact landmark is used to identify Yinlingquan, the He‑Sea point of the spleen channel. Placing the needle here aligns with the spleen channel’s path up the medial leg and targets dampness issues in the lower body. Other points on the list are located in different parts of the leg or higher up, so they don’t correspond to this medial-lower-leg depression.
