Iliacus muscle · Hip bone
2How do I find it on my body?
- Take the navel to the top of the pubic symphysis as 5 B-cun.
- Go 4.3 B-cun down from the navel, just above the pubic bone.
- Move out to the 4 B-cun line (the nipple line).
A cun is a body-scaled unit of length. The precise way is to divide a bone length into equal parts (proportional bone cun); finger widths are a quick estimate.
- pubic symphysis
- Where the two pubic bones join with cartilage at the bottom middle of the belly; going straight down from the navel you meet it as a hard bony edge. The center of the navel to its upper edge is taken as 5 cun.
- hip bone
- The large, wide bone on each side of the pelvis, formed when the ilium, ischium and pubis grow together. The ridge you feel at belt level (iliac crest) is its top edge.
- lower abdomen
- The belly below the navel, down to the pubic bone.
3Before you press
- Press the abdomen only gently, with several fingers or the palm.
- Do not press the abdomen during pregnancy.
- Sudden severe abdominal pain, especially with fever or vomiting, needs urgent care — call emergency services if needed instead of using acupressure.
- Avoid broken or swollen skin and press only to a comfortable level.
- Acupressure is not a substitute for medical care.
4How has it been used traditionally?
- The Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing records it as a meeting place of the Spleen channel, the Yin Link vessel and the Liver channel — a historical classification, not a claim of effect.
From traditional texts — not a claim of effect.
