GB43 · 足少阳胆经

Xiaxi xiá xī · 侠溪

Location. On the dorsum of the foot, between the fourth and fifth toes, proximal to the margin of the web, at the junction of the red and white skin.

Category. Ying-spring point 荥穴

"Xia" means to flank and "xi" a stream; the name pictures the point as lying beside the small gully between the toes. It is the ying-spring point of the Gallbladder meridian, one of the five phase-point categories used for points below the knee. A category name, not a claimed outcome.

定位。在足背外侧,当第4、5趾间,趾蹼缘后方赤白肉际处。

特定穴。Ying-spring point 荥穴

「侠」为夹,「溪」为小水流,穴名状其位于两趾间沟旁。此穴为胆经之荥穴,属膝以下五输穴的类别之一。类别名而非疗效表述。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
In the web between the fourth and fifth toes, where the skin is thin and the digital nerves are close beneath. Classical texts describe shallow needling here. Practitioner skill, not a self-care technique.
