Which Heart point is located on the palm, between the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones, where the tip of the little finger rests when a fist is made?

• A. HT 9
• B. HT 8
• C. HT 7
• D. SI 1

Answer: (B)

This question tests your knowledge of where Heart channel points sit on the palm. The point described as being in the palm between the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones, at the spot where the little finger rests when you make a fist, is Heart 8. It sits in the palm between those two metacarpals and is the Jing-River point of the Heart channel, a key location along the pathway from the chest to the hand. This location doesn’t describe Heart 9, which is at the tip of the little finger, nor does it describe Heart 7, which is at the wrist crease on the radial side of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon. It also isn’t on the little finger tip in the Small Intestine channel, which is Small Intestine point 1. So the palm, between the 4th and 5th metacarpals, correctly identifies Heart 8.
