Where is the exact location of Yamen acupuncture point?

The correct location of the Yamen acupoint is at the depression above the spinous process of the second cervical vertebra at the back of the neck. It is necessary to promptly seek acupuncture, tuina, and other treatments at a formal hospital, and one should not blindly locate the acupoint for self-treatment. The Yamen acupoint is an important acupoint of the Governor Vessel (Du Mai), which can disperse wind, calm the liver, rejuvenate the mind, and open the orifices. It is mainly used to alleviate abnormal conditions such as epilepsy and headaches. If patients experience abnormal conditions such as delayed speech, head pain, or neck and shoulder pain, they can stimulate the Yamen acupoint at a formal hospital. When stimulating the Yamen acupoint, excessive force should not be used, as it may irritate the local skin and muscles. The Yamen acupoint is often used in combination with other acupoints, such as Renzhong (GV 26), Hegu (LI 4), Yifeng (SJ 17), and Ermen (TE 21). During active treatment, one should closely monitor changes in the body and adjust the treatment approach as advised by a doctor. If needle therapy is required, do not attempt it yourself, as it may cause local damage and abnormal conditions of the nerves and medulla oblongata. Stimulating the Yamen acupoint is a common treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine that can regulate the body. Multiple repeated treatments are needed to achieve better therapeutic effects. If body irritation intensifies during treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan under the guidance of a doctor.
