Where is the location of the Tianchi acupoint?

Generally, the Tianchi acupoint (PC1) is located on the chest of the human body, at the level of the fourth intercostal space. The detailed analysis is as follows:

The Tianchi point is one of the commonly used acupoints on the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin, and it is also the first acupoint of this meridian. Specifically, it is located at the fourth intercostal space on the chest, one cun lateral to the nipple, and five cun away from the anterior median line. When locating this acupoint, the patient can sit upright and move horizontally outward approximately one thumb's width from the nipple. Due to slight anatomical differences among individuals, there may be some variation in locating the Tianchi acupoint. Stimulating the Tianchi acupoint can help nourish the heart and calm the mind, relieve chest tightness, regulate qi, clear heat, and promote body fluid production. It may be beneficial in treating conditions such as insomnia, chest tightness, chest pain, and mammary hyperplasia.

Maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in moderate exercise, ensuring sufficient sleep, and avoiding excessive fatigue are recommended in daily life. Comprehensive health regulation can better maintain overall health and prevent diseases.
