Where is H-9 located?

H-9, also known as Shaoshang (少商), is a point on the Heart channel located at the radial-posterior corner of the nail of the little finger (fifth finger). This position is significant as it relates to the channel's pathway and functions. It is characterized by its proximity to the heart and its role in emotional and cardiac conditions, making it a valuable point in acupuncture treatments aimed at issues related to the heart, spirit, and mental health.

Understanding the anatomy and location of acupuncture points is crucial for effective practice. For H-9, accurate palpation at the specified location (radial-posterior corner of the fifth finger's nail) allows practitioners to effectively access the point during treatment.
