flexor carpi radialis muscles, ending in the palmat P 8 (Laogong), on the transverse crease of thepalm, between the second and third metacarpalbones. From there it traverses the middle fingerto terminate at P 9 (Zhongchong), in the center ofits tip.Another branch arises from P8, runs along thering finger to SJ 1 (Guanchong) on the ulnar side,about .1 cun posterior to the corner of the nail, tolink with the Triple Burner (Sanjiao) Meridian.14. The Sanjiao (Hand-Shaoyang) Meridian(SJ)See http://www.acumedico.com/sanjiao.htmThe Sanjiao Meridian originates at SJ 1 and runsupward on the dorsum of the hand, between thefourth and fifth metacarpals, to SJ 4 (Yangchi) onthe transverse wrist, in the depression lateral tothe tendon of the extensor digitorum communismuscle, and continues on the lateral aspect of theforearm between the radius and ulna to SJ 10, inthe depression when the elbow is flexed about 1cun superior to the olecranon. It continues alongthe lateral aspect of the upper arm until itreaches SJ 14 (Jianliao), at the origin of the deltoidmuscle, in the depression which lies posteriorand inferior to the lateral extremity of theacromion. Turning toward the medial upper cornerof the scapula, it crosses the Gallbladder Meridian,circles down to the supraclavicular fossa,enters the chest to connect with the PericardiumOrgananddescendsthrough the diaphragm to the abdomen tojoin the upper, middle and lower Jiao, its pertainingOrgan.A branch form the chest flows upward, emergesfrom the supraclavicular fossa, connects toSJ 17 (Yifeng), posterior to the lobule of the ear,in the depression between the mandible and mastoidprocess, runs along the posterior border ofthe ear and further to the anterior corner of thehairline. Then, it descends to the cheek to terminatein the infraorbital region.Another branch arises from SJ 17 and enters theear from SJ 21, in the depression anterior to thesupratragic notch, just above the condyloid processof the mandible. Then, it emerges in front ofthe ear connecting with SJ 22 (Erheliao) andreaches SJ 23 (Sizhukong), in the depression atthe lateral end of the eyebrow, to link with G 1(Tongziliao), .5 cun lateral to the outer canthus, inthe depression on the lateral side of the orbit.15. The Gallbladder (Foot-Shao Yang) Meridian(G)See http://www.acumedico.com/gb.htmThe Gallbladder Meridian originates from theouter canthus of the eye at G 1, ascends to thecorner of the forehead to G 4 (Hanyan), curvesdownward around the posterior of the ear to G12 (Wangu), ascends to G 14 (Yangbai) on theforehead, 1 cun directly above the midpoint of theeyebrow and circles down to G 20 (Fengchi), inthe depression between the sternocleidomastoidand the trapezius muscles, level with a horizontalline passing directly below the external occipitalprotuberance. It runs down along the side of theneck in front of the Sanjiao Meridian to G 21(Jianjing) on the crest of the trapezius directlyabove the nipple, curving to the back it crossesand passes behind the Sanjiao Meridian down52 Yang-Sheng (Nurturing Life) Volume 3, Issue No. 3
