Q

Which channel starts in the chest, penetrates the diaphragm and connects to the Lung, then exits below the left breast?

A

Great Luo if ST

The Great Luo of the Stomach is in the chest and can be used for cardiac conditions (that’s why it exits below the left breast). The problem is, the classics don’t give a point for accessing the Stomach Great Luo. Some people use ST-18 and some people use ST-40.

20
Q

What organs does the Heart Primary channel connect with?

3 Points

A

HT
SI
LU

study note
The Lung governs qi, and the Heart governs blood, so together these organs govern the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body.

21
Q

Where does the Heart Divergent channel converge with the Small Intestine Channel?

A

Inner Canthus
BL 1

study note
All divergent channels go towards the face, supplying qi and blood to the head and face.

And all divergent channels connect to their yang-paired channel. The Heart Divergent channel meets the SI channel at UB-1.

22
Q

Which tissues does the Heart Luo channel connect to?

A

The root of the tongue and the eye

study note
The Heart Luo-Connecting channel separates at HT-5, connects with the SI channel, ascends the arm to enter the Heart organ, then ascends to the root of the tongue and the eye. HT-5 therefore treats aphasia, stiff tongue, stuttering, red eyes, and eye pain.

23
Q

Where does the Heart Divergent channel separate from the primary channel?

A

Axillary Fossa

study note
The Heart Divergent channel separates at the axillary fossa, enters the chest and connects to the Heart, emerges on the face, and connects with the SI channel at the inner canthus (UB-1).

24
Q

Where does the Heart primary channel begin?

A

Heart Organ

study note

The Heart channel is the only channel to start in its own organ. Its linkage from the previous channel is an internal pathway of the Spleen channel going from REN-10 to the Heart organ.

25
Q

Where does the internal branch of the Heart primary channel travel ?

A

Ascends alongside the esophagus and connects to the tissue surrounding the eye.

study notes

thus it is able to treat swollen throat, throat pain, and eye problems. Even though the Heart “sprouts in the tongue”, the primary channel does not connect to the tongue; only the Luo-Connecting channel does.

26
Q

Where does the Small Intestine primary channel begin?

A

Ulnar side of the little finger (SI-1)

27
Q

A

Ascends the arm and connects to the shoulder at LI-15

study note
The SI Luo-Connecting channel separates from the primary channel at SI-7, connects to the HT channel, goes up the arm and connects to the shoulder at LI-15.

29
Q

What is the pathway of the Small Intestine Divergent channel?

A

Separates at the shoulder, enters the axilla, crosses the HT, connects to the Small Intestine

study note
Divergent channels usually separate from the primary channel on the limb, enter the body cavities of the trunk, and connect to organs.
