Where it is
At the inner end of the eyebrow, in the notch above the inner corner of the eye.
Nearby: The eye. Frontal sinus above. Shallow tissue.
Traditionally said to
Local point for frontal headache, sinus pressure, and twitching around the eye in channel teaching.
What people look up
Acupressure
Fingertip in the notch, upward into the brow, not down into the eye, 20–40 seconds.
When not to press: Eye pain, vision change, or a severe one-sided headache of sudden onset needs care.
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
Transverse subcutaneously, often 0.3–0.5 cun toward the middle of the brow. Not deep toward the eye.
Angle
Transverse, lateral along the brow or slightly inferior in some styles — never into the orbit.
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.
