Yunmen acupoint comes from the "Su Wen * Shui Re acupoint theory". It is the Hand Tai Yin Lung Meridian acupoint, located in the chest area, and is the gateway for the entry and exit of lung qi.
Clouds are clouds and mist; The door, the gateway for entry and exit, refers to this acupoint as an important gateway for the lungs and their meridians to exchange with the outside world. What is the explanation for the door through which clouds and qi come from? The clouds in the sky are formed by water vapor, which descends when cold and rises and disperses when hot. The clouds on the lung meridian refer to the qi and blood of the lung meridian, which flow out of the Yunmen acupoint in the form of cloud like gaseous substances and spread throughout the body, like weather clouds and mist, nurturing all things. Therefore, the acupoint is called the Yunmen acupoint.
