Triple Burner meridian

Location

On the fourth (ring) finger, ulnar side of the distal phalanx, 0.1 F-cun proximal-lateral to the ulnar corner of the fingernail; at the intersection of the vertical line of the ulnar border of the nail and the horizontal line of its base.

What it helps with

Gently refreshes when the head feels heavy and hot, the throat is scratchy, or energy is low; a classic “awakening” point at the fingertip.

How to work on it

Pinch the tip of the ring finger between the thumb and index finger of the other hand and squeeze the nail corner gently for 10-20 seconds; 3-5 repetitions on each hand.
