ST-22
  Location 3 cun above the umbilicus (or 5 cun inferior to the sternocostal angle) and 2 cun lateral to the anterior midline. How to find The distance between the sternocostal angle and the centre of the umbilicus can be divided into 8 cun, which can vary considerably from the patient’s finger cun; therefore, only proportional cun measurements should be used (helpful tool: elastic tape ➞2.3.1). First, measure 3 cun up from the umbilicus. Or: Measure 1 cun downward from the midpoint of the distance between the umbilicus and the sternocostal angle (➞Ren-12: spreading hands technique ➞ 2.3.3). ST-22 is located 2 cun lateral from here. Located on the same level are ➞ Ren-11 (anterior midline), ➞KID-18 (0.5 cun lateral to the anterior midline) and ➞SP-16 (4 cun lateral to the midline).
