The liver and gallbladder are located below our ribs, and the meridians to which they belong are either distributed between the ribs, along the inner wall of the ribs, or through the quarters. In addition, the Yin meridians of the hand also pass through the flank, while the large meridians of the spleen are all over the thoracic flank. Therefore, for the various symptoms of the flank and ribs, we should focus on stimulating the acupuncture points on the above four meridians.
