Shaoshang point is located on the radial side of the thumb tip, 0.1 inch above the corner of the nail root.

The Yuji point is located in the depression behind the first metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, approximately on the radial side of the midpoint of the first metacarpal bone, at the junction of the red and white flesh.

【How to use】

Press and pinch Shaoshang and Yujie, place the edge of the thumb nail or the tip of the finger on the acupoint, and slowly press down with force.
