Yintang is the most needed acupuncture point in the middle of the forehead. This is an "extra point" that is a type of mapping but does not fall on a particular acupuncture channel. There are some different indications for this, but the most common reason is because it can calm down. Shen is a term used in Chinese medicine and there is no real English translation. Basically it refers to the fact that we are not physical aspects such as consciousness and thought, as well as our emotional and spiritual existence. There are many points that can calm them down and can be used in a variety of situations, such as anxiety, depression and insomnia, and even pain and shock.
Most acupuncture points have more than one indication, and Yintang is no exception. Like all acupuncture points, it is valuable for treating local conditions such as forehead headaches. It also benefits the nose and can help when there is a stuffy nose or discharge from the hospital or sinus. I use it regularly in practice, especially for stress and sinus allergies and infections.
The position of this acupuncture point corresponds to the third eye. This is the metaphorical eye of Hinduism and Buddhism. As our consciousness consumes, we become enlightened. It is the location of the eyebrows and is the sixth of the seven main energy vortices that exist in our body, related to internal guidance, mental clarity and intuition. Even in Western medicine, this is an anatomically important position where light enters the skull to activate the pineal gland. As the darkness of the night increases, the pineal gland is stimulated, causing the hormone melatonin to secrete, making us drowsy. As the sun rises and the light increases, the pineal gland stops producing this hormone, and we wake up.
