Which acupuncture point is approximately 2 cun distal to Zusanli ST-36 on the right leg?

• A. Bafeng
• B. Lanweixue
• C. Dannangxue
• D. Heding

Answer: (B)

Lanweixue is located on the Stomach meridian about two cun distal to Zusanli ST-36 on the leg. Distal means toward the foot, so from ST-36 you measure two cun downward along the same line toward the ankle to find this point on the right leg. The name implies a relation to GI function, and this point is commonly used for abdominal and digestive issues. This fits the question because it specifically identifies a point two cun away from ST-36 along the leg. The other options are located in different regions (for example, on the toes or near the knee/thigh) and do not sit two cun distal to ST-36.
