Between the two vertical hamstrings, behind the knee, in the crease produced when the leg is bent. N.B.: do not use this acupoint if you have varicose veins.

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.

Clasp your hands so that your index fingers lie on the upper side of your wrists (top drawing). The point lies in line with the thumb, in a small cavity (bottom drawing). Remember the location of this point, unclasp your hands and use the point.

On the outer side of the foot, slightly behind the last knuckle of the little toe.
