Translating "肓門", acupuncture point BL-51

1st character

Meaning

This is usually translated with something like "vital region," which is supposed to be the space between the heart and the diaphragm. It is at the bottom center of the lungs. At this location, feelings about breathing can be felt, lik the movement of the breath, and feelings of suffocation or hyperventilation.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with simply translating 肓 with "breathing." All four points with this character in their name affect breathing.
