特定穴。Meeting of the Small Intestine, Triple Energizer and Gallbladder 手太阳、手少阳、足少阳之会

足少阳胆经首穴,因位于目外眦旁眼眶骨孔处而得名。传统文献将其归入目外眦与头面一类。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
The skin beside the outer canthus is thin and the eye is immediately adjacent. Classical texts describe shallow needling here. Practitioner skill, not a self-care technique.
