There are many potent acupoints in the body that can help to rebalance and re harmonize the flow of vital life force energy (also known as “Qi” — pronounced “Chee”). Always remember: “When Qi flows, then health glows.” One such point is Gallbladder 34 or GB 34 point. (Also known as: “Yang Mound Spring”, “Sunny Side of the Mountain”, or “Yanglingquan”.
This point is said to be a powerful overall ‘physical therapy’ point. It can help to cultivate a more flexible body, adaptable mind, and help one to become more bold, confident, and decisive in the world.
Overall this point is a good point for:
a main influential point for all ligaments and tendons in body muscular aches, tension, or muscle strains sciatica cramps or discomfort along the lateral midline of the body (from head-to-toe) knee pain nausea vomiting indigestion hepatitis jaundice emotional attributes: timid or shyness; indecisiveness; anger; “anger turned inward” (which often manifests as anxiety or depression) frustration; irritability; or confusion;
Location of this point: Below the outside of the knee in a depression just under the top (head) of the fibula bone. There is often a tender spot in the depression where the smaller fibula bone meets the larger tibia bone the lower leg. See picture above for point location.
How to stimulate this point: You can use your index finger an/or thumb to push gently into this point. Or, gently squeeze the point on each side and then lift this point upwards. Hold the pressure or gentle stretch of the point for 1-3 minutes as you breathe slowly through your nose down into your lower belly region.
To be clear: Does pushing on this point make up for a lack of ‘healthy living’? Does it erase a person’s bad habits or poor health choices. Of course not. It can’t make up for those things! However what it can do is help to rebalance the disrupted energy flow in the body that these things caused in the first place.
The whole point of using this vital acupoint is to reestablish balance, harmony, and flow in the body. It's not a substitute for healthy living, but rather a supplement for healthy living.
