Temple
Taiyang EX-HN5 location and gentle pressure
Taiyang is in the shallow hollow outside the eyebrow tail and outer eye corner. It may be used as a local self-care reference for temple pressure and side-head tightness.
Seek care first for vision changes, severe eye pain, injury, or sudden severe headache.
Standard location
In the depression about one finger-width posterior to the midpoint between the lateral end of the eyebrow and the outer canthus of the eye.
Easy way to find it
- Find the outer end of the eyebrow and the outer corner of the eye.
- Move slightly outward to the shallow temple hollow.
- Stay on the temple area and do not press the eyeball or eye socket.
How to press
- Use the pads of the index and middle fingers.
- Circle gently for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Keep pressure light because this area is sensitive.
When to avoid or stop
- Do not press the eyeball or eye socket.
- Seek care first for vision changes, severe eye pain, injury, or sudden severe headache.
Common questions
Can I press Taiyang hard?
No. The temple area is sensitive and close to the eye. Use only light circular pressure.
What if pain feels deep behind the eye?
If there are vision changes, severe eye pain, injury, or sudden severe headache, seek medical care instead of relying on pressure points.
