GV28 · 督脉

Yinjiao yín jiāo · 龈交

Location. On the inner surface of the upper lip, at the junction of the frenulum of the upper lip and the upper gum.

The last point of the vessel, named for the gum and for the junction where it sits. Classical lists place it inside the upper lip at the frenulum; the record is of position.

定位。在上唇内,上唇系带与上牙龈的交点。

督脉之末穴,穴名「龈交」,谓其在龈与唇系带相交之处。古典文献载其在上唇内、唇系带与齿龈之交;所记为部位。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
Inside the upper lip on the frenulum — a mucosal surface where infection control matters. Practitioner skill, not a self-care technique.
