Indications
How to stimulate it (acupressure)
Apply moderate pressure with your thumb or a finger, using small circular movements. A mild sensation of pressure or warmth is normal, but it should never be painful. Maintain this pressure for 1 to 2 minutes. You can repeat this self-massage 2 to 3 times a day, or whenever you feel the need.
Other uses
Acupuncture
Depth : 0.5-1 cun
This point may be needled by a professional. The recommended puncture depth is 0.5 to 1 cun perpendicularly, a procedure that falls within the practitioner's scope of practice.
Effects in traditional Chinese energetics (TCM)
This point works by activating the collaterals (secondary channels that supply the tissues and connect the meridians) and relaxing the tendons (structures that connect muscles to bones), supporting better circulation and greater flexibility.
