Support the Prominence

On the lateral side of the neck, level with the tip of the Adam's apple, between the sternal and clavicular heads of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

LI18 is commonly used to alleviate throat disorders, benefit the voice, and reduce neck swelling. It is also effective for treating cough, asthma, and difficult swallowing.

LI18, also known as Support the Prominence of the Throat and Neck, is an acupoint located at the intersection of the neck and throat, playing a crucial role in the body's energy pathways. This point primarily influences the Lung and Large Intestine meridians, facilitating the flow of Qi (vital energy) and supporting respiratory functions. Its stimulation can enhance vocal expression and alleviate issues such as throat discomfort and respiratory distress, promoting clarity in communication and emotional expression. LI18 is also linked to the Thyroid gland, which regulates metabolism and energy levels, underscoring its systemic connections to overall vitality. Emotionally, this acupoint is associated with the processing of grief and the expression of creativity, thus contributing to mental resilience. By harmonizing physical and energetic health, LI18 fosters a state of balance that enhances vitality and well-being, making it a valuable focus for those seeking to improve their overall health and emotional clarity. Regular engagement with this point can lead to increased resilience, helping individuals navigate stress and promoting a more profound sense of inner peace.
