SP1 · 足太阴脾经

Yinbai yǐn bái · 隐白

Location. On the great toe, at the medial side of the distal phalanx, 0.1 cun proximal to the medial corner of the nail.

Category. Jing-well 井穴

The name means "hidden white" — the point sits at the inner corner of the great toenail, where the pale nail root is partly concealed. This is a naming convention, not a claim about effect.

定位。在足大趾末节内侧,趾甲根角侧后方 0.1 寸(指寸)。

特定穴。Jing-well 井穴

穴名意为「隐伏之白」,位于足大趾趾甲根角内侧、白色甲根隐伏之处。此处为命名描述,不涉及疗效主张。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
At the corner of the toenail, where the skin is thin over bone. Low risk in routine practice; because ingrown nails and local infection are common in this area, single-use sterile technique matters here.
