The distance from the nipples to the anterior midline is 4 inches, and their midline to the anterior midline is 2 inches. Combining the two, the location is Yu Fu point. Yu Fu point has the effect of relieving cough and calming asthma (stopping cough and calming wheezing), regulating qi and lowering rebelliousness, and can treat cough, asthma, vomiting, distension and fullness of the chest and ribs (the collective name for the chest and ribcage area), and loss of appetite. When discomfort occurs, one should consult a doctor in time and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of physician’s diagnosis, and should not operate or use the medicine on one’s own in order to avoid delaying the condition.
