Immediate effect area: around the eyes

Best effect: It can remove eye puffiness and relieve eye bags caused by staying up late.

According to the "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Bronze Man" record, "It can treat deafness as if something is blocking the ear, and one cannot hear anything." This shows that the Tinggong acupoint is effective in treating ear diseases.

In addition, symptoms such as tinnitus, hearing loss, and hearing impairment can be improved by pressing the Tinggong acupoint for a long time.

Huang Xuelong, the editor of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Therapy and Physiological Effects," once said: "Tinggong (SI19) is located between Tinghui (GB2) and Jiache (ST6). Based on my past experience, it seems that it is best to open the mouth to locate Tinggong, insert the needle to a depth of 0.3 fen (0.3 cm), and apply moxibustion for 3 cones." This illustrates the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on the Tinggong acupoint.

The Tinggong acupoint is located in the depression in front of the center of the earlobe when the mouth is open.
