Acupoint Selection Techniques

Step 1: Lie on your back.
Step 2: Feel along the anterior median line downward to locate the depression formed between the sternum body and the xiphoid process, which is known as the sternal-xiphoid junction.
Step 3: From the midpoint of the line connecting the sternal-xiphoid junction to the navel, draw a horizontal line.
Step 4: This line will intersect with the midline of the breast, which is the vertical line passing through the nipple.
Step 5: The acupoint is located at the midpoint between these two intersections.
