Points of the Head and Neck
STOMACH #5
The stomach meridian has two descending branches on the face, one from the temple area, and the other from under the eye. These branches intersect at S-5, which is located at the notch along the bottom of the jaw bone. Through this notch passes the facial artery; and over it lies the Marginal Mandibular branch of the Seventh Cranial ( or Facial) nerve. This point is struck diagonally upward, towards the center of the skull.
STOMACH #9
TS-9 lies on the side of the neck at the meeting of the neck at the anterior border of the Sternocleidomastoid muscle and the thyroid cartilage. It is level with the Adam's apple in the crease between the larynx and the muscle. This point is struck at a 45 degree angle, with a "heavy" (not snapping) blow.
TRIPLE WARMER #17
TTW-17 is located under the ear, behind the hinge of the jaw, at the place where the Seventh Cranial ( or Facial) nerve surfaces. This point is struck at a 45 degree angle from back to front.
