Where it is
Two finger-widths lateral to the spine, about level with the fourth thoracic vertebra, between the lung and heart shu levels.
Nearby: Chest cavity. Same back-shu safety as its neighbors.
Traditionally said to
Back-shu of the Pericardium. Taught for heart-protector patterns: chest oppression and a restless spirit, in traditional words.
What people look up
Acupressure
Mild muscle pressure only, 30 seconds. Skip if you cannot tell muscle from bone.
When not to press: Chest pain that worries you is not a back point.
About 30–90 seconds is the usual window, unless the step above is shorter. Stop if pain, dizziness, or anything unusual shows up.
Licensed practice only
Needle depth, angle, electroacupuncture
Textbook language for students. Not instructions. A cun is a body-inch on that person, not a ruler inch. Do not needle yourself.
Depth
Oblique toward the spine, commonly 0.5–0.8 cun. Lung risk if deep.
Angle
Oblique medial.
Electroacupuncture
Introductory charts rarely assign a standard electroacupuncture setting here. Clinics that use current choose frequency and intensity for that person. No milliamp figure is given, because copying one would be misleading.
