Medical information

Yin Wei 2 is located in the inguinal region, 3.5 cun lateral to the ventral midline, typically at the level of the proximal thigh, immediately medial to the femoral artery.

Yin Wei 2 is used to treat stagnation in the pelvic region, disorders of the Yin Wei Mai, and to support blood circulation in the hindquarters.
