Which acupoints should be massaged for gallbladder pain

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that stores bile, which includes fluid, fat, and cholesterol. Bile helps break down fats in food in the intestines, making it easier for fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The most common symptom of gallbladder problems is pain. This pain usually occurs in the upper middle right part of your abdomen. It can be mild and intermittent or quite severe and frequent. In some cases, the pain may begin to radiate to other parts of the body, including the back and chest. So which acupoint should be massaged for gallbladder pain?
