Yintang EX-HN3 location and gentle pressure
Yintang is located between the eyebrows. It is included as a local relaxation reference for forehead or brow tightness and eye-strain-related heaviness, not as a migraine treatment point.
Seek medical care first for vision changes, severe eye pain, eye injury, or sudden severe headache.

On the face, at the midpoint between the medial ends of the eyebrows, above the bridge of the nose.
Easy way to find it
- Use a mirror to find the inner ends of both eyebrows.
- Lightly press the midpoint between the eyebrows, above the bridge of the nose, and use the spot that feels dull but not painful.
How to press
- Use the pad of the index or middle finger to press lightly or make small slow circles.
- Try 30 to 60 seconds while breathing slowly. Do not push toward the eyeballs.
When to avoid or stop

- Seek medical care first for vision changes, severe eye pain, eye injury, or sudden severe headache.
Common questions
Where is Yintang?
It is at the midpoint between the eyebrows, above the bridge of the nose. Press gently and avoid pushing toward the eyes.
Can I use it for pain deep behind the eye?
If there is severe eye pain, vision change, injury, or sudden severe headache, seek medical care instead of relying on pressure points.
