· Known for its energy-boosting powers! Ancient Chinese medicine thought this point could give soldiers enough stamina to walk three more miles!

· Helps balance the digestive system; acting like a control button for your appetite and digestion which aids in weight loss - especially with treatments lasting 12+ weeks.
