G.B.-11
  Location Posterior to the ear, at the junction of the lower third with the two upper thirds of the curved line connecting ➞ G.B.-9 and ➞ G.B.-12. How to find First, locate ➞G.B.-9 (1.5 cun superior to the apex of the ear and 0.5 cun in a posterior direction). Then locate ➞ G.B.-12 in a depression posterior and inferior to the mastoid process . These two points are the endpoints of a curved line that runs approximately parallel to the posterior margin of the ear within the hairline. Divide this line into thirds and locate G.B.-11 at the junction of the middle and the lower third. At this point, a small ‘dip’ often can be felt in the bone. For reference: G.B.-11 is located at the midpoint between a line connecting ➞ G.B.-10 and ➞ G.B.-12 and is generally on the level of the root of the helix. ➞ T.B.-19 is located on the same level, directly posterior to the helix.
