Quick Answer
LU7 Lieque, often remembered as Broken Sequence, is a Lung meridian point on the thumb-side forearm. It appears in breath and upper-body traditions, but breathing trouble, chest symptoms, wrist/forearm injury, numbness, or tendon pain should stop the point path.
Safety Decision
Stop before pressure if the body area is injured, the symptom is severe or unusual, or qualified care should come first.
Continue only as a short, comfortable, education-only routine after reading the locator and stop signs.
LU7 LiequeBefore You Try This
This LU7 page is educational and not medical advice. It cannot assess breathing symptoms, chest symptoms, cough, sinus illness, forearm injury, numbness, tendon pain, or whether pressure is suitable.
Ask qualified care for breathing trouble, chest symptoms, severe or persistent cough, fever, forearm injury, numbness, severe pain, medication questions, pregnancy, children, or chronic illness.
reader path
Is This the Right Page to Read Now?
This acupoint page fails if the Broken Sequence on the thumb-side forearm in the Lung family locator becomes a treatment shortcut, a stronger-pressure target, or a replacement for the named safety stop signs.
Read LU7 as forearm vocabulary, then choose sinus, LU9, PC6, or Safety according to the real question. Then choose read-only, one brief comfortable contact, a printable card, or a safety stop.
Diagram Notes
The marker highlights LU7 Lieque, Broken Sequence, on a thumb-side forearm locator view; its landmark cue is "On the thumb-side forearm above the wrist, near the radial bone line." Use it with the safety cues rather than treating the marker as clinical precision.
Locator overlay for LU7 Lieque, Broken Sequence, placed on CC BY 4.0 Servier Medical Art human anatomy base images and paired with a regional landmark view.
How to read the LU7 locator
- Start with the broad area: thumb-side forearm.
- Compare the written landmark: On the thumb-side forearm above the wrist, near the radial bone line.
- Use the marker as orientation, then let comfort and the keep pressure mild near tendons caution decide whether to stop.
The Broken Sequence locator uses a licensed educational anatomy base for the thumb-side forearm; it is not a clinical locator or personal safety clearance.
Why This Page Gets Extra Attention
Reader Scenario
A reader arrives at LU7 after seeing a short chart and needs to verify the Broken Sequence landmark on the thumb-side forearm before doing anything physical.
Common Misread
Do not use LU7 as a breath and upper-body wellness traditions shortcut; the locator and caution still decide whether this stays reading-only.
Editorial Call
Broken Sequence earns its length only when it separates thumb-side forearm touch, landmark confidence, breath and upper-body wellness traditions context, and the reason to stop.
Best Next Choice
Choose whether Broken Sequence should stay read-only, allow one brief comfortable thumb-side forearm contact, move to the printable card, or open a safety page.
Use the Broken Sequence locator as a neighborhood check for the thumb-side forearm; the written landmark still outranks the marker.
LU7 Lieque and the Broken Sequence name
LU7 is the standard code for Lieque, often translated as Broken Sequence. The phrase belongs to point-name memory and Lung meridian context. It does not mean the page can explain breathing symptoms, cough, sinus illness, or upper-body discomfort.
Thumb-side forearm location needs tendon and skin caution
LU7 sits in a thumb-side forearm neighborhood where tendons, wrist motion, skin irritation, numbness, or injury can matter. Sharp pain, tingling, numbness, swelling, broken skin, or a recent strain should keep the page read-only.
Where LU7 fits in sinus and upper-body pages
LU7 may appear in sinus-pressure pages beside LI20, LI4, BL2, EX-HN3, and LU9. The link is a traditional upper-body and Lung-family relationship. Fever, severe facial pain, infection signs, breathing trouble, or worsening illness override the point comparison.
How LU7 relates to LU9 and PC6
LU9 is another Lung meridian wrist-area point with pulse-sensitive caution. PC6 is a Pericardium wrist page used more often for nausea and travel. Comparing them helps the reader separate forearm and wrist contexts without turning either point into a respiratory answer.
The wrong way to read LU7
The wrong reading is: Lung meridian means this point is relevant whenever breathing or coughing appears. A safer reading is: LU7 is a named forearm point, and actual breathing symptoms belong with care-first pages.
Technique boundaries for LU7
This page does not teach acupuncture, moxa, cupping, scraping, pressure dosing, breathing care, respiratory care, or sinus care. It organizes point name, broad location, relationships, and conservative exits.
Best next page after LU7
Choose the sinus guide for mild nasal context after fever and severe pain are absent. Choose LU9 for Lung-family wrist comparison. Choose PC6 for nausea or travel context. Choose Safety when breathing, chest, fever, forearm, or worsening symptoms appear.
Full-page decision frame for LU7
LU7 Lieque, Broken Sequence, deserves more than a chart label because the reader has to make several separate decisions before touching the thumb-side forearm. The first decision is identity: this is a Lung point, not a general label for every nearby tender place. The second decision is context: breath and upper-body wellness traditions is a traditional or wellness reading cue, not a promise that pressure changes a personal condition. The third decision is safety: keep pressure mild near tendons. A full page for Broken Sequence therefore has to slow the reader down. It names the point, describes the broad locator, explains why the point appears with certain routines, separates acupressure from professional techniques, and gives a conservative next page. If the reader only wants a quick answer, the safest quick answer is still narrow: read the locator, check the stop signs, and use the point only as education unless the situation is mild and comfortable.
How to verify the thumb-side forearm landmark
LU7 starts with the thumb-side forearm view, but the visual marker is only a region finder. The written landmark carries the real work: On the thumb-side forearm above the wrist, near the radial bone line. Keep pressure mild near tendons and sensitive wrist structures. This matters for Broken Sequence because readers often arrive after seeing a short social post, wrist band, point chart, or routine list. A chart can make the target look cleaner than a real body feels. The reader should first name the broad body area, then compare the landmark with bones, tendons, folds, or soft tissue nearby, then check whether the skin and sensation are normal. If the reader cannot repeat the landmark in plain English, LU7 should remain a reading page. If the body area is painful, numb, swollen, bruised, hot, wounded, recently injured, or hard to interpret, the locator has already done its job by telling the reader to stop.
What breath and upper-body wellness traditions means on this page
The phrase breath and upper-body wellness traditions explains why LU7 appears in this atlas, but it does not turn Broken Sequence into a personal answer. For Lieque, the use context is a signpost for reading related pages, not a guarantee, not a ranking, and not a reason to ignore symptoms. A better way to read the phrase is: people commonly encounter this point while researching breath and upper-body wellness traditions, so the page should explain the name, locator, safety limits, and nearby choices clearly. That is very different from saying the point handles the concern. If the concern is mild and ordinary, LU7 can be part of a conservative reading path. If the concern is severe, new, persistent, frightening, pregnancy-related, medication-related, child-related, post-surgery, or connected with chronic illness, the breath and upper-body wellness traditions phrase becomes less important than the safety path.
How LU7 relates to nearby point pages
Broken Sequence should be compared with related pages only one relationship at a time. Useful comparison points include LU9 Taiyuan (wrist crease), PC6 Neiguan (inner forearm), HT7 Shenmen (wrist crease), TE5 Waiguan (outer forearm). The relationship may come from the same meridian, the same body region, a similar routine page, or a shared beginner question, but those relationships do not make the points interchangeable. LU9 Taiyuan has its own locator and caution; PC6 Neiguan has another. For LU7, the right comparison question is not "which point is stronger?" but "which page answers my current job?" A culture page explains the name. A printable page preserves memory. A wellness page compares a mild scenario. A safety page interrupts action. Reading those pages in the right order keeps Lieque from becoming one more item in a long, unfocused list.
When pairing LU7 with another point makes sense
Pairing LU7 with another point is a reading decision before it is a physical routine. The safest pairing starts on a guide such as Acupressure for Sinus Pressure and Nasal Congestion, where the page can explain why several points appear together and which stop sign controls the whole set. For Broken Sequence, pairing is most useful when it clarifies roles: one point may be the main locator to read, another may be a comparison point, and another may be a reason to leave the routine for Safety. Pairing is not useful when it simply adds more body areas because more points sound more complete. Each added point adds a new landmark, new tissue, and a new way to misread discomfort. If the reader cannot explain why LU7 belongs with the next point, the better step is to read one full page and stop.
Using LU7 inside a short routine
Broken Sequence may appear in a mild self-care reading path, but the routine has to stay education-first and stop-first. A short routine around LU7 should have a beginning, a check, and an end. The beginning is the safety review: keep pressure mild near tendons. The check is the locator review: On the thumb-side forearm above the wrist, near the radial bone line. The end is a conscious decision to stop, continue reading, or open a related page. If gentle contact is appropriate, it should stay brief, comfortable, and easy to release. The reader should not chase a deep ache, try to create sensation, or keep pressing because a point name sounds important. A routine also should not stack LU7 with every point on the Lung line. The page works best when it turns a vague impulse into one narrow action: read, locate broadly, touch lightly only if low risk is clear, and stop if the body gives any reason to stop.
Acupuncture, moxa, and cupping boundaries for LU7
LU7 can appear in professional acupuncture, moxibustion, or cupping contexts, but this page does not teach those methods. Acupuncture involves needles and belongs with qualified professional practice. Moxibustion involves heat, smoke, fire, burn risk, and pregnancy caution. Cupping involves suction, bruising, skin status, blood-thinner concerns, and injury questions. Those techniques are not stronger home versions of acupressure. For Broken Sequence, the public page can explain that the same named point may appear across modalities, but it cannot convert professional technique language into instructions. If a reader came here searching for needling effects, moxa application, cupping placement, or stronger results, the safe answer is to stay in education mode and use qualified care or a licensed practitioner rather than improvising on the thumb-side forearm.
Wrong turns readers make with Broken Sequence
A frequent wrong turn is to treat tenderness near LU7 as proof that the point was found. Tenderness can mean pressure is too strong, the tissue is irritated, or the wrong body area is being tested. Another wrong turn is to use breath and upper-body wellness traditions as a shortcut around safety. A third is to keep moving across the thumb-side forearm until something feels intense. For Broken Sequence, intensity is not the goal. Clarity is the goal. The reader should be able to say: this is the Lung point Lieque, the locator is On the thumb-side forearm above the wrist, near the radial bone line., the caution is keep pressure mild near tendons, and my next step is either read-only, gentle and brief, a related page, or qualified help. If that sentence cannot be said honestly, the page has not cleared pressure.
When LU7 is not the right next page
LU7 is not the right next page when the reader is trying to decide whether a symptom is serious, whether medicine can be changed, whether pregnancy or child use is safe, or whether an injury can be worked around. It is also not the right page when skin, tendon, pulse-sensitive tissue, numbness, swelling, bruising, or uncertainty is present. In those cases, opening more point pages can create false momentum. The better route is a safety page, a professional conversation, or emergency guidance when warning signs are present. The value of the Broken Sequence article remains intact even when the answer is not to press. It still gives language, location context, visual orientation, and relationships. A high-quality point page is allowed to say that the most useful next action is leaving the point page.
How the printable card should depend on this page
The printable LU7 card should be treated as a reminder after this full article, not as the article itself. A card can remember Lieque, Broken Sequence, the broad thumb-side forearm cue, and the stop signs, but it cannot carry the full context around breath and upper-body wellness traditions, related points, source limits, or technique boundaries. For LU7, the card is useful when the reader has already read the landmark and wants a small memory aid. It is not useful when separated from the safety note, used during a high-risk situation, or shared as a quick instruction. If a card and the full page disagree in the reader's mind, the full page wins. If the card makes the action feel too easy, return to the full page or Safety.
Source and visual notes for Broken Sequence
The source notes on LU7 have different jobs. Nomenclature and location sources keep LU7 Lieque aligned with standard naming and broad locator language. Safety and health-information sources keep the page from becoming personal advice. The visual source identifies the licensed anatomy base used for orientation; it does not prove exact placement on any reader's body. For Broken Sequence, that split is important because source lists can look more authoritative than they are. A source can support a name, a boundary, a cultural context, or a visual credit, but it cannot inspect the reader, confirm a symptom, clear an injury, or promise that breath and upper-body wellness traditions will improve. The trustworthy reading is modest, traceable, and limited.
Final choice after reading LU7
End the Broken Sequence page with one of four choices. Choice one is read-only: the reader understands LU7 better but does not touch the thumb-side forearm. Choice two is a brief gentle contact: the situation is mild, the skin and tissue feel normal, the landmark is clear, and the reader can release immediately. Choice three is a related page: the reader needs Acupressure for Sinus Pressure and Nasal Congestion, a name-meaning page, a printable memory aid, or a safety answer before acting. Choice four is qualified care: the concern is personal, severe, persistent, unusual, pregnancy-related, medication-related, child-related, chronic-condition-related, injury-related, or unclear. The page is successful when the reader can choose among those outcomes without relying on a chart alone. LU7 is a named point, but the decision is the real product.
Relationship map after LU7
LU7 should leave the reader with a relationship map, not just a locator. Start with the point itself: Lieque, translated here as Broken Sequence, sits in the Lung context and uses the thumb-side forearm cue. Then compare neighboring reading paths: LU9 Taiyuan on the wrist crease; PC6 Neiguan on the inner forearm; HT7 Shenmen on the wrist crease; TE5 Waiguan on the outer forearm; ST36 Zusanli on the front outer lower leg. Those pages are not backup targets to press if LU7 feels uncertain; they are separate articles with separate body areas, cautions, and purposes. The broader use-case map is Acupressure for Sinus Pressure and Nasal Congestion. Use those pages only when the concern is mild enough to remain in education and safety navigation. This map is important because many people search for a point by discomfort, then keep adding pages until something feels persuasive. A better habit is to ask which relationship explains the next decision. If the next decision is name meaning, open Culture. If it is a memory aid, open Printable. If it is a combination, open the matching wellness guide. If it is risk, leave LU7 for Safety. The map keeps Broken Sequence from becoming a loose claim about breath and upper-body wellness traditions.
What the reader can safely take away from LU7
A careful takeaway from LU7 has five parts. First, remember the identity: LU7 Lieque, Broken Sequence, is a named point, not a universal body button. Second, remember the place: On the thumb-side forearm above the wrist, near the radial bone line. Third, remember the caution: keep pressure mild near tendons. Fourth, remember the use-language limit: breath and upper-body wellness traditions explains why the point appears in traditional and wellness reading paths, but it cannot decide a personal symptom or promise an outcome. Fifth, remember the next action: read only, use a brief gentle contact only when low-risk context is obvious, compare one related page, or ask qualified care. This takeaway is intentionally practical. It gives the reader something to do with the page without turning the page into medical advice. For Broken Sequence, the best result is not that the reader presses more confidently. The best result is that the reader can explain why this point fits, why it does not fit, or why the question belongs outside the atlas today.
What sources support beside the evidence note for LU7
Reader use: for LU7 Lieque, the recalled sources support the exact article identity at /acupoints/lu7-lieque/, the displayed point name, and the broad locator language used on this page rather than a generic chart. Reader use: for LU7 Lieque, the named sources support the page-specific boundary "This LU7 page is educational and not medical advice. It cannot assess breathing symptoms, chest symptoms, cough, sinu..." and the article value "A thumb-side forearm article that keeps Lung meridian language separate from breathing or respiratory claims." without promising a result. Read these notes as traceability for this one point page; they cannot inspect the reader's skin, medication, pregnancy status, chronic illness, pain pattern, urgency, or whether pressure belongs today.
Questions Readers Usually Ask
Is LU7 for breathing problems?
No. LU7 has Lung meridian context, but breathing trouble belongs outside acupressure browsing. Read the locator, point-specific caution, related safety page, and next link before any pressure idea.
Can I use LU7 for sinus pressure?
Only as a mild-context reading link. Fever, severe facial pain, infection signs, or worsening illness should move to Safety or care.
How is LU7 different from LU9?
LU7 is a thumb-side forearm point. LU9 is a wrist-crease point. They share Lung-family vocabulary but need separate body-area cautions.
