定位。肘内侧,尺骨鹰嘴与肱骨内上髁之间凹陷中。

特定穴。He-sea 合穴

小肠经合穴,传统记载位于肘部。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
The ulnar nerve lies directly here; a strong electric sensation is expected, and a practitioner limits the depth.
