Location. On the middle finger, at the centre of the tip of the middle finger.

Category. Jing-well 井穴

The well point of the Pericardium meridian; classical texts place well points at the finger tips, where Qi is said to emerge.

定位。在手指,中指末端最高点。

特定穴。Jing-well 井穴

心包经井穴。经典把井穴列于指端,认为经气由此而出。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
The fingertip is highly sensitive; the recorded practice at well points is a quick prick rather than deep needling.
