Locations of midnight-noon ebb-flow points

The human umbilical region is likened as a clock. Umbilical core is the center, which extends to twelve directions to form the positions of midnight-noon ebb-flow. It corresponds the down, lower right, right, upper right, up, upper left, left and lower left positions to Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai of midnight-noon ebb-flow, which is in accord with 24 hours and twelve regular meridians (each one stands for 2 hours, for example, Zi is from 11 pm to 1 am, which is connected with the Gall Bladder meridian). If a disease changes at certain time or in a specific meridian, treatment can be performed the corresponding time. For example, if a patient with chronic respiratory conditions coughs at Yin period (3 a.m. to 5 a.m.), treatment can be performed at this period of time. If some pathological changes occur in the gallbladder meridian, Zi period (11 p.m. to 1 a.m.) is the optimal time for treatment.
