Which Pericardium point separates from the channel to connect with TB-1 (guan chong)?

The correct answer is PC-8 (Lao Gong). This Pericardium point is distinct in its anatomical and functional characteristics within the Traditional Chinese Medicine system. PC-8 is known to connect with the Triple Burner channel at TB-1 (Guan Chong), indicating a separation from the primary Pericardium channel to influence the dynamics of the Triple Burner channel. This connection allows for a deeper therapeutic interaction, particularly in addressing conditions that involve both the heart and the Triple Burner system.

PC-8 is primarily located in the palm and is associated with regulating the heart and alleviating various emotional and physical disorders. Its unique ability to connect with the Triple Burner channel helps in treating issues that may relate to water metabolism or fluid disturbances commonly associated with the functions of the Triple Burner.

In contrast, the other points listed do not have this unique separating function to connect with the Triple Burner channel. For example, PC-9 is located at the tip of the middle finger and is known for its role in dealing with heart energy and consciousness, whereas PC-7, located at the wrist, primarily influences the heart and its corresponding emotional aspects without this specific channel connection. PC-6, located deeper on the forearm, is significant for regulating heart functions
