While these points are on the spleen meridian, they do not effect deep level structures like spleen 9, kidney 7, and liver 3 do. For many cases they will not be as effective as using the above points or the Lower Three Emperors (77.17 - 77.21). They are however, supplementary to urinary and reproductive disorders and can be useful if the lower points have been needled many times.
