FAQs
Quick questions
Which point should I start with?
Start with Lian Quan for a local dry tickle, then add Zhao Hai when the throat feels parched. You do not need both every time.
How often can I press these points?
Once or twice a day is a common educational habit. Keep the press kind. If dryness lasts more than a few days with fever or breathing change, book a consult rather than adding more home pressure.
Is this the same as the cough LU7–KI6–CV23 set?
Related, not identical. The cough Bite adds Lie Que (LU7) for Lung descending. This Bite keeps the dry-throat pair only.
