What it helps with

Gently supports aching tension in the forearm and a blocked feeling in the ear; the name points to the meeting of the three yang channels of the arm.

How to work on it

Cup the forearm in the palm and press with the pad of the thumb into the space between the bones for 1-2 minutes, breathing evenly.
