2. Relieve and treat bronchial asthma, bronchitis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc.

3. Relieve and treat skin itching, etc.

[Combination of Feishu acupoints] Feishu acupoint combined with Fengmen acupoint is used to treat cough and asthma; Feishu acupoint combined with Gu acupoint and Yingxiang acupoint is used to treat nasal diseases.

[Excerpt from modern reports] For chronic bronchitis, use the lung shu, heart shu, diaphragm shu and other acupoints, and apply: datura truncatula, gansui, asarum, etc., and treat it during the dog days of summer every year. This is called "treating winter diseases in summer" and belongs to the category of preventive medicine in traditional Chinese medicine.

[Regulate respiratory function] Acupuncture at the Feishu point can enhance respiratory function, increase lung ventilation, vital capacity and oxygen consumption, and significantly reduce airway resistance.

Feishu point is an important acupoint for treating lung diseases. The "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing" says: "When the lung qi is hot, the patient cannot lie down due to breathing, vomiting and foaming, gasping for breath and panting, chest fullness and tightness in the ribs, difficulty breathing..., Feishu point is the main acupoint for treating these diseases." The "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Zisheng Jing" says: Feishu point is used to treat "wheezing and asthma." Recently, people have pointed out that the Feiqian point is mainly used to treat lung diseases, and has certain effects on improving lung function and eliminating the symptoms caused by lung dysfunction. Therefore, it has the effect of dispelling exterior pathogens, promoting lung function, and calming and descending lung qi. It is clinically used to treat cough, asthma, hemoptysis, tuberculosis and allergic rhinitis, which are equivalent to some respiratory diseases in modern medicine.

Yu points are the places where the qi of the internal organs and meridians is transferred and infused. "Su Wen?" "Chang Ci Jie Lun" says: "To force the internal organs, pierce the back, which is also the back Shu point", which means that the back Shu points can treat diseases of the corresponding internal organs. Asthma is the main disease of the lungs. The Feishu point is the place where the lung meridian qi is infused. It is close to the lungs and has a direct internal and external corresponding relationship with the lungs. It can regulate the lung meridian qi and therefore can treat asthma. Clinical observations show that acupuncture, pricking, and moxibustion at the lung point can treat asthma. Some people believe that the Feishu point can be used to treat asthma. It can be used for both asthma caused by wind-cold binding the lungs, phlegm blocking the lungs, and lung failure to descend, and asthma caused by insufficient lung qi, deficiency of both the lung and kidney, or deficiency of both the lung and spleen.

Since the Shu points and their corresponding internal organs have close physiological and pathological connections, when the internal organs are diseased, abnormal phenomena often appear at their corresponding Shu points, such as tenderness, sensitive points, nodules, etc. Therefore, the lung Shu points can also be used as reaction points for diagnosing lung diseases. The "Diagnostic Method for Identifying Diseases by Acupoint Tenderness" mentions that the positive rate of tenderness at the Yu and Mu points of respiratory diseases is also very high. Taking 100 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis as an example, 93% of them had tenderness at the Feishu point.

Back-Shu points are suitable for treating corresponding internal organ diseases and related tissue and organ diseases. Therefore, lung-Shu points are important points for treating lung diseases. In addition to being good at treating lung diseases such as colds, coughs, asthma, etc. It can also be used to treat local diseases such as neck and shoulder pain, use acupoint pressure therapy to stop phlegm, remove freckles, buckwheat husk pressure therapy, etc.
