Xin refers to the new acupoint; Ming refers to Guangming (GB37). This point is a newly discovered acupoint for treating eye diseases. It can restore eyesight, hence the name Xinming.

bubble_chart Location

Xinming 1: Located behind and below the auricle, at the midpoint of the skin fold behind the earlobe, or the upper and anterior five points of the depression between the mastoid process of the temporal bone and the posterior edge of the mandibular ramus. There are two points on the left and right. Xinming 2: Located one cun above the eyebrow tip and five fen outward.

bubble_chart Anatomy

Xinming 1 At the front edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, there are postauricular artery and vein, external carotid artery and vein, auriculotemporal nerve, mandibular nerve and its branches. Xinming 2 In the temporalis muscle, there are branches of the superficial temporal artery and vein, maxillary arteries and veins, and the temporal branch of the facial nerve.

bubble_chart Manipulation

Xinming 1: The needle body is at an angle of 60° with the skin. Quickly insert the needle forward and upward. After the needle tip reaches the intertragus notch, pull the earlobe slightly forward and outward. The needle body is at an angle of 45° with the longitudinal axis of the body. Slowly insert the needle from above. When the needle body reaches the superficial surface of the mandibular condylar process and the depth is about 1 to 1.5 cun, the needling sensation can be obtained. If the needling sensation is not obvious, insert five points further forward and upward. If the needling sensation still exists, If it is not obvious, you can slightly change the direction of the needle tip and search patiently until you get satisfactory needling sensation, so that the needling sensation can be transmitted to the eye area. Xinming 2: Insert the needle tip horizontally into the forehead, and slowly advance the needle for five to eight fen.
