ACUPOINT - Large Intestine Meridian (LI)

Large Intestine Meridian (LI)

Large Intestine (LI)
The Hand Bright Yang (Yang Ming) of the Large Intestine 20 points

The large intestine channel of the Hang-Yangming starts from the tip of the index finger. Running upward along the radical aspect of the index finger, it passes through the inter-space of the first and second metacarpal bones, and ascends along the lateral anterior aspect of the upper arm to the highest point of the shoulder. It then travels along the anterior border of the acromion, then descends to the supraclavicular fossa. From the supraclavicular fossa it travels upward to the neck and to the cheek, then it curves around the upper lip and exits at the corner of the mouth, where it crosses the opposite large intestine channel of the Hand-Yangming at the philtrum. It ends at the side of the nose, where is connects with the stomach channel of the Foot-Yangming.
