On the lateral side of the abdomen, anterior to the ASIS, 3 cun below the level of the umbilicus (lateral to CV 4)


Of many possible clinical applications, it may be considered to influence the following issues/symptoms:

  • GB 27 is more useful for male issues - testicular pain a/or retraction, lower abdominal pain, shan disorder


Gb 27 has the following theoretical associations which serve as important guideposts in designing an effective treatment protocol:

  • Intersection Point of the GB & Dai Mai Meridians
