GB-10 - Floating White
浮白 - Fú bái
Point Region: Head
GB-10, or 'Fubai' (meaning 'Floating White'), is a local point located on the back of the head. Its name refers to its ability to address issues related to 'floating' or 'unstable' energy in the head and neck.
As a local point, Fubai is primarily used for issues related to the head and neck, such as a headache, dizziness, 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.
Fubai 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.
