5. Jie Yang (it means to connect Yang Qi from one location to another. Here means to conduct Yang Qi from the stem of body to the arm and legs).

To conduct Yang Qi to the arm, use point of Yangchi (on the wrist) and to conduct Yang Qi to the leg and feet, use point of Yanglingquan.

This technique is especially useful for the treatment of numbness and cold feeling on the fingers and toes.
