3. Yanglingquan is an important acupoint of the gallbladder meridian, located below the fibula head of the lower leg. In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder are closely related to emotions. Yanglingquan acupoint must be stimulated more often, like plucking a string, which will produce an electric numbness sensation that travels directly to the bottom of the foot. This is when the effect is best. If this acupoint is frequently plucked, the stagnation of the gallbladder meridian caused by anger and hyperactivity of liver fire will be dissipated.
