Where is the Gallbladder Meridian Located on the Outer Thigh?

The gallbladder meridian on the outer thigh is located on the central axis of the outer thigh. The course of the gallbladder meridian can be determined by connecting the Huantiao point and the Xiyangguan point. The Huantiao point is located at the intersection of the outer 1/3 of the line connecting the greater trochanter of the femur and the sacral hiatus, which corresponds to the outer lower side of the buttocks. The Xiyangguan point is located three cun above Yanglingquan, in the depression above the lateral supracondylar ridge of the femur. One can start by tracing upwards from the outermost and lowest part of the femur, which is the outermost part of the knee joint, and gradually feel for a depression above the femur, which is the Xiyangguan point.

The gallbladder meridian, along its course through these two points, can be used to treat various conditions related to the lower limbs and knee joints, such as paralysis of the lower limbs, hemiplegia, and numbness of the calves.
