Qishe qì shě · 气舍

Location. On the anterior aspect of the neck, at the upper border of the medial end of the clavicle, in the depression between the sternal head and the clavicular head of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

The name means the dwelling place of qi. Classical sources record it briefly, in relation to the throat and to the movement of qi through the neck.

定位。颈前部,锁骨内侧端上缘,胸锁乳突肌胸骨头与锁骨头之间的凹陷处。

穴名取气所舍居之意。经典记载简略,与咽喉及颈部气机运行相关。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
On the neck, close to the carotid sheath and the great vessels at the root of the neck. Not a point for self-treatment; needling here requires advanced practitioner training.
