Xuanji xuán jī · 璇玑

Location. On the chest, on the anterior midline, 1 cun below the centre of the suprasternal fossa, at the centre of the manubrium.

The name refers to a star, and to an ornament of jade; it is recorded just below CV22 in the classical sequence.

定位。胸部,前正中线上,胸骨上窝下 1 寸,胸骨柄的中央。

穴名取璇玑(星名,亦指美玉)之意;经典穴序中列于 CV22 之下。

Over the sternum just above the great vessels; gentle pressure only, and needling is a practitioner concern.
