GV-22, or 'Xinhui' (meaning 'Fontanel Meeting'), is a local point located on the top of the head. Its name refers to its position on the fontanel, a key area for the mind and the nervous system.

As a local point, Xinhui 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.

Xinhui 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.
