Scalp Acupuncture: Two standard lines to locate stimulating areas

To define the stimulating areas, it is necessary to establish marking lines over the scalp according to some demarcations on the surface of the skull.

Anterio-posterior median line: this median line is drawn from the midpoint between the eyebrows to the lower border of external occipital tuberosity.

Supraciliary-occipital line: this line is drawn from the midpoint of upper border of eyebrow to the tip of external occipital tuberosity.
