Ruzhong — Center of the Breast
In brief
This point is primarily an important anatomical landmark for locating other acupressure points. As such, it is not used directly for acupressure or treatment.
Where to find it
At the center of the nipple (in the 4th space between ribs).
How to stimulate it (acupressure)
