The specific location of Yintang

Yintang is located on the forehead and at the midpoint of the line between the two brows. It belongs to the strange acupoints outside the meridian, that is, the acupuncture points with fixed names, positions and indications besides the fourteen meridian points, referred to as odd acupoints. "Seeing health through Yintang is not all superstition, but it is scientifically justified." Jiang Liangduo, a professor of internal medicine at Beijing Dongzhimen Hospital, said that in the four consultations of "seeing, smelling, asking, and cutting" in traditional Chinese medicine, the first "seeing" is to pass Carefully observe the patient's face, mouth and tongue, etc., and find signs of disease.

The skin has a healthy luster, rather than dullness; roundness, requires fullness of the skin at the Yintang area instead of shrinking.

"Yintang is most afraid of darkening and blue, which are manifestations of physical diseases. The so-called width of Yintang is mostly from the perspective of physiognomy and has nothing to do with health." Jiang Liangduo explained, but the visit is only The first step in the four consultations of traditional Chinese medicine, so we can only judge the overall health of the person through Yintang. It is impossible to diagnose a certain disease from it, and we need to cooperate with the other three consultations to confirm the diagnosis.
