CV-23 Lianquan, meaning 'Corner Spring,' is a master point for benefiting the tongue and throat, restoring speech and fluidity. Located on the neck, it is a key point for addressing a wide range of issues that are caused by 'phlegm' or stagnation in the throat and tongue. This point helps to restore a sense of ease and freedom to our communication.

Think of Lianquan as a point that helps to unlock your voice. It's especially useful for addressing issues like aphasia, a hoarse voice, and a feeling of a lump in the throat. By benefiting the tongue and throat, it helps to restore a sense of clarity and freedom to our communication.
