The exact location of the Yuji point is on the outer side of the hand, at the red-white meatus of the midpoint of the radial side of the 1st metacarpal bone (where the heart of the hand meets the dorsum of the hand and the heart of the foot meets the dorsum of the foot).
It is on the Taiyin Lung meridian of the hand and is the Xing point of the Taiyin Lung meridian of the hand. It is positioned on the outer side of the hand, at the middle point of the radial side of the 1st metacarpal bone, at the point of the red-white inter-membranous space.
It can be used to treat cough, asthma, hemoptysis, loss of voice, laryngeal paralysis (redness, swelling and pain in the pharynx, or dryness, foreign body sensation, or itchy and uncomfortable pharynx, difficulty in swallowing), exogenous fever, heat in the palm, and pediatric chancre (a kind of chronic disease of children, which is characterized by emaciation, dietary anomalies, abdominal distension, and sparse and withered hair), and other diseases.
If acupuncture or moxibustion is used at this point, a clinician should be consulted and the operation should be carried out by a clinician to avoid consequences such as infection.
