Step 1: Sit or lie on your back.
Step 2: Starting from the highest point of the medial malleolus, measure straight up along the medial edge of the lower leg bone (tibia) for two sets of four horizontal fingers (with the index, middle, ring, and little fingers together, the width of the four fingers at the level of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the middle finger is 3 cun, also known as the "one-fu" method). Press where there is a sore and aching sensation; this is the location of the acupoint.
