Yintang (EX-HN3)

Hall of impression — brow rub

Yintang is an extra-point brow focus commonly included in calming and head self-care instruction. The small midline mark locates the glabella region in the front-view diagram, while the self-massage action is a light circular rub rather than a claim about a separate classical primary channel.

Huangdi Neijing · Lingshu (primary_canonical)

Lingshu ch. 10 (Jing mai) supplies the head and channel framework around this region, but Yintang (EX-HN3) is a later extra-point designation rather than a named Lingshu point; the citation therefore supports context, not a classical Yintang locus.
