Professor Ding Zongyue from Renxiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital kindly points out: Acute pharyngitis is primarily due to excess heat, while chronic pharyngitis is mainly due to deficiency heat. Bloodletting at Shizhe can clear and drain wind-heat from the lung meridian; Tiantu is the intersection point of the Ren and Yinwei meridians, effective for dispersing lung qi, resolving phlegm, and stopping cough. When used in conjunction with Shizhe and Hegu, it can drain lung fire and benefit the throat, treating sore throat. Taixi is the source point of the Kidney meridian, and Zhaohai connects to Yin. The combination of these two points can nourish Yin and lower fire, guiding deficiency fire downward, which is crucial for treating deficiency heat sore throat, and can be used together with Tiantu to help clear and benefit the throat.
