I know the Four Gates (LI04 + LV03, bilateral) for difficult cases but I had not

heard of the Four Doors before. I found this on

http://www.acupuncture.com/conditions/neurosis.htm in an article on

Acupuncture & Neurosis:

 

ST25, CV12, CV06, ST40 (The Four Doors, and ST40 are to Resolve

Phlegm).

 

Are ST25, CV12, CV06 the Four Doors to which you refer?

 

Best regards,

Dear Dr. Phil,

 

Indeed, when I was in school, one of my clinical supervisors from China

referred to ST25 bilaterally, Ren6 (or Ren4) and Ren12 as the four door of the

abdomen to promote digestion.
