EX-HN3 · 经外奇穴

Yintang yìn táng · 印堂

Location. On the head, in the depression midway between the medial ends of the two eyebrows.

A point outside the fourteen channels, recorded in classical literature as a point of the glabella. The name means the hall of the seal, referring to the space between the brows.

定位。在头部,两眉毛内侧端中间的凹陷中。

十四经之外的奇穴,古典文献载其在两眉之间(印堂,古称阙中)。穴名取印堂之意,指两眉间之位。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
On the face above the root of the nose and close to the eyes. Gentle pressure is safe; needling here is superficial and is a practitioner skill. Avoid the area if the skin is broken or infected.
