Where it is

On the top of the foot, in the web between the big toe and the second toe, just before the margin of the web.

Nearby: Toe web. Sensitive. Don’t split the toes.

Traditionally said to

Ying-spring and fire point of the Liver. Taught when liver heat or liver fire is the classroom pattern: red eyes, irritability, a pounding head. Not an anger treatment.

Acupressure

Pinch the web for 30–45 seconds. It can feel sharp; lighter is fine.

When not to press: Skip broken skin, gout, or athlete’s foot.

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

Common textbook range: about 0.5–0.8 cun oblique.

Angle

Oblique, proximal, in the web.

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.
