ST 8 is the best point for migraines! Especially when there is nausea, vomiting and or sensitivity to light. I use it all the time during pregnancy (since we can't needle Li 4) with great results!
It's also useful for eye pain, dizziness, and facial paralysis post stroke or with Bell's Palsy.

The XI-CLEFT points characteristics:
- They’re located on the limbs, and are where Qi & Blood accumulate and converge in the meridians.
- Each of the 12 regular meridians has a Xi-Cleft point, as do the Yin Wei, Yang Wei, Yin Qiao and Yang Qiao Meridians, 16 in all.
- They treat acute disorders. The Yin points alleviate acute bleeding disorders, and the Yang points relieve acute pain.
- They can also help diagnose, when palpating these points. If they are tender, the meridian is affected. For example, if ST 34 is very tender to the touch, there is stomach issues.
