Bladder channel · point 35
Traditionally used for
- Bowel health
- Menstrual & women's health
- Fertility & vitality
Location
On the buttock, 0.5 cun lateral to the tip of the coccyx.
How to locate: With the patient prone or in the knee-chest position, find the tip of the coccyx above the anus (unlike the sacrum, the coccyx moves when pressed). The point is in the soft depression 0.5 cun lateral to the tip.
Distances are in cun, a proportional unit — how to measure.
