There is an acupoint in the recess immediately behind the outer anklebone.

Normally used in combination with acupoint 6. Acupoint 5 is a hand's-breadth above the end of the inner anklebone, behind the shinbone.

This acupoint is very effective in lower-body problems, especially in combination with acupoint 5. It is a hand's-breadth below the bottom of the kneecap, on the outer side of the calf, in the cavity between the shinbone and the leg muscle.

This point is suitable for most upper-body problems. Press the thumb and index finger together to form a ridge at the upper edge of the thumb. The point is in the centre of the ridge, directly above the crease between the thumb and index finger.

Two thumb-widths above the spot at which the big toe and the second toe join, on the upper surface of the foot.

Immediately behind the nail of the second toe, on the side furthest from the big toe.

On the big toe, on the side nearest to the second toe, just behind and slightly to the side of the nail.

In the middle of the sole of the foot, just behind the ball of the foot.
