Small Intestine meridian

Location

On the little finger, on the ulnar side, in the depression distal to the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint, at the border between the red and white flesh. Easier to locate with the fist loosely clenched.

What it helps with

Gently refreshes when the head feels hot and heavy, the throat is scratchy, the ears ring, or the fingers feel numb; a handy pocket-sized point on the hand.

How to work on it

Press with the pad or nail corner of the opposite thumb to a mild tenderness for 20-30 seconds; 2-3 rounds on each hand.
