Where are the JinJin and YuYe points located?

The JinJin and YuYe points are located on the veins on both sides of the frenulum, which is the small fold of tissue located under the tongue. These points are specifically situated at the sublingual area, highlighting the importance of assessing anatomical landmarks in acupuncture practice. JinJin translates to "Gold Needle" and YuYe means "Silver Needle," and these names reflect the critical role these points play in regulating fluids within the body, particularly related to conditions of yin deficiency or fluid imbalance.

Proper localization of acupuncture points is crucial for effective treatment. Understanding the anatomical context helps practitioners accurately locate these points to ensure effective communication with the body's meridian system. The choice indicating their location adjacent to the frenulum reinforces the connection between acupuncture practice and anatomical precision.
