Point guide
Find & press
-
Locate above the wrist crease
Rest the forearm palm-down or slightly rotated. From the radial wrist crease, measure about two finger-widths toward the elbow on the thumb side. Feel for a tender hollow beside the styloid, not on hard bone.
-
Circle-press one minute
Using your thumb, press gently into the point, then rub in a circular motion for about one minute. A dull ache (酸胀) is the usual cue. Sharp shooting pain means ease off and relocate.
-
Switch sides
Repeat on the other forearm. Both sides are usual when supporting Lung Qi and everyday Wei Qi between visits.
-
Stop cues
Ease off if the press feels sharp, numb, or wrong. Mild ache that eases on release is common. Sudden breathlessness, chest pain, or high fever need urgent care, not self-press.

Quick questions
Where is the Lie Que (LU7) acupuncture point?
On the radial forearm, about 1.5 cun (roughly two finger-widths) above the wrist crease, in the hollow beside the radial styloid. Feel for a tender spot in soft tissue, not on hard bone.
How do I press Lie Que for immunity support?
Press gently with the thumb, then circle for about one minute per side. A dull ache is expected. Sharp pain means ease off. This is a short home habit beside rest, movement, and kitchen care.
Is Lie Que the same as the cough acupressure set?
LU7 appears in cough routines with Zhao Hai (KI6) and Lian Quan (CV23). This Bite isolates the locate-and-press for everyday Lung and Wei Qi support from the Boosting immunity Insight.
