Question
Are there any accupuncture points on my eyebrows? I am planning on getting it pierced soon but I don't want to crash my immune system or something. thanks

Answer
Hey Laurie,

Actually there is! Yuyao in da brow! Sorry I could hear Dr. Huo in my head.
It's used for eye congestion, swelling and pain in the eye or twitching eyelids.

I wouldn't worry about it crashing your immune system though.

The point becomes unusable, and may activate it for awhile, but it won't short-circuit you.

Yuyao is in the center of the eyebrow. Most piercings are on the side, so again I wouldn't worry about it.


Take care,
