GB27
Gall Bladder 27
The acupuncture point known as "GB 27," referred to as "Wu Shu" in pinyin and "Fifth Pivot" in English, can be located on the lateral side of the abdomen, situated anterior to the ASIS and positioned 3 cun below the level of the umbilicus, specifically lateral to CV 4.
This particular acupuncture point, along with GB 26 and GB 28, holds significance as useful points on the Dai Mai meridian, which exerts influence over the KD, GB, CV, Chong Mai, and GV Meridians. GB 27, in particular, exhibits a greater relevance to addressing male-specific issues such as testicular pain or retraction and lower abdominal discomfort associated with shan disorder.
The theoretical associations of GB 27 make it a vital reference point when crafting an effective treatment protocol, as it serves as the intersection point of the GB and Dai Mai Meridians.
