7. Jianjing
 

 
  Acupressure 

The jianjing is on the meridian of the gall bladder. Its clinical name is GB-21.

  

The jianjing is located on top of each shoulder, exactly halfway between the neck and the shoulder bone.

     
  Use your fingers to massage this point as deeply as is comfortable, starting with your left shoulder. Be sure to massage both sides.
