Good video, as usual. My question is, do you use those same foot pressure points for gout which shows up in other places, like a finger?

[Michael Reed Gach]

This clip is for gout in the large toe. There are other points for gout in other parts of the body. If its in the index finger or thumb, I'd use the famous HoKu (LI 4) point.

[Michael Reed Gach]

Yes, because all these points are trigger points. This point on the foot (Lv 3) balances the energy which goes to the liver. In addition, if there's pain in the finger, press local points on the hand to open the blockage there.
