Point Region: Head
EXT-46, or 'Xingfen' (meaning 'Excitement'), is a local point located on the head. Its name refers to its ability to address issues related to the 'mind' and 'spirit,' as well as a sense of emotional imbalance.
As a local point, Xingfen is primarily used for issues related to the emotions and mind, such as anxiety, depression, and a sense of 'stuckness' in the head. It is a go-to point for 'calming' the mind and 'clearing' emotional blockages in the head. By stimulating this point, you can help to restore a sense of peace and tranquility to the mind and body.
Xingfen acts as a vital access point to the core of the body, providing a direct and effective way to address blockages and restore a sense of comfort and vitality to the upper body. It's a reminder of the power of local points to provide targeted relief and restore a sense of comfort and vitality to the entire body.
