the sea of blood is…

32
Q

deeper
usually can't see it
have to probe or palpate
eventually goes into zang/fu or joints
can enter divergent level
may appear as cysts
36

arm yin: tai yin, shao yin, jue yin
arm yang: tai yang, shao yang, yang ming
leg yang: tai yang, shao yang, yang ming
leg yin: tai yin, shao yin, jue yin
*this is the circulation of blood. the alternate sequence from the su wen is the sequence of the primary channels.
