Gallbladder meridian
On the side of the trunk, at the lower border of the free end of the 12th rib.
Heaviness and coldness in the lower back, puffiness, sluggishness — the classical 'kidney support' point in TCM.
Rub along the rib with a warm palm for 60 seconds on both sides, until it feels warm.
This overlies the kidney: no percussion and no deep pressing. Low-back pain with fever, swelling or blood in the urine is a reason to see a doctor, not to press points.
