Comments
"This is an ophthalmology point. Guang Ming means to Give Light, it is a point located in Shao Yang and Shao Yang is the movement that carries Water to the Liver. When Water is lacking, Wood dries out and there is a risk that it will burn. When you are in a fire there is smoke, everything appears blurry and moves. If you want to see more clearly, you call the firefighters, they arrive and throw water. They wet the wood and extinguish the fire, once extinguished things are seen more clearly. All ophthalmology problems are a problem of Fire, you must give Water. It does not mean tonifying Water, but tonifying Kidney-Yin to carry Water to the Wood. All ophthalmology points are Water points."
