hi healthy h,

i have been studying acupressure but i wasnt sure what meridian was UB?

i might have to correct hotpepper slightly on GV24. its located just above the bridge of the nose, almost on the 3rd eye.

i did find a website with some charts on but not sure where the url is now.

i wondered how come your tutor hasnt indicated these points to you?

Thanks Rosie. I'm happy to be corrected. I will have another look through my book .
UB is urinary bladder...... according the my book.

UB: Urinary Bladder, plain old Bladder meridian!

Any acupuncture point you want can be found online here:

BTW, GV i scalled "du chanel" on this site.

Sorry Rosie, but GV 24 is a bit higher than the third eye... "0.5 cun above the midpoint of the anterior hairline".
"1 cun" is about a thumb's width.
GV 15: At the nape, 0.5 cun above the hairline, between the spinous process of the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae. Indications: Deafness and muteness, posterior headache, stiffness of neck, schizophrenia, neurosis.
