Pressure points - Triple Heater/Warmer

TH 20: JIAOSUN (Angle of Regeneration)
Directly above the apex of the ear, within the hairline of the temple. Jiao here means corner and Sun means reticular collateral, this Pt is on the temporal region corresponding to the ear apex, where the reticular meridians are distributed.
This point must be struck fairly hard to have any effect. But when it does have an effect, it is substantial. Extreme dizziness and falling down with great nausea. A knock will occur with a medium to hard strike.

TH 21: ERMEN (Ear's Door)
In the depression anterior to the supratragic notch and slightly superior to the condyloid process of the mandible. The point is located with the mouth open. Er means ear and Men means door, this Pt is in front of the ear, like a door to the ear.
This strike causes a sickly feeling to slowly move down the whole chest area, much like the feeling one gets when attacked in a ‘controlling manner’ at TH 17. Struck hard, it will cause knock out. This sickly feeling will turn into a nagging pain after some time, causing the recipient to feel like they are having a heart attack. You must use the antidote to right this condition.

TH 22: HELIAO (Harmony's Seam)
Anterior and superior to TH 21, level with the of the auricle, on the natural hairline of the temple where the superficial temporal artery passes.
This point is much the same as TH 21, only there is also great local pain and Qi drainage. because of its location, it can cause knock out, but the strike must be quite hard. Using a palm strike to this point, you will also get a number of other points like GB 3, which when struck together will cause death.
