Triple Burner meridian

Location

On the posterior aspect of the arm, on the line connecting the olecranon and the acromial angle, 5 B-cun superior to the olecranon — roughly midway between Qinglengyuan (SJ11) and Naohui (SJ13), over the triceps muscle.

What it helps with

Gently supports tension along the back of the upper arm and stiffness in the neck and occiput.

How to work on it

Press with the finger pads of the opposite hand on the back of the upper arm in slow circles for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Caution

Do not press hard or for a long time: the radial nerve runs nearby. If tingling or a shooting sensation into the hand appears, ease off and shift slightly.
