On the lower abdomen, on the anterior median line, at the superior border of the pubic symphysis, 5 cun below the centre of the umbilicus.

Lying on your back with knees bent, place a warm palm on the lower abdomen and press softly with the finger pads on the out-breath for 30-60 seconds; then make slow circles with the palm for 1 minute.
Lower abdomen: do not use during pregnancy. Work only with an empty bladder and without deep pressure; see a doctor for pain with fever, blood in the urine or urinary retention.
