Path of the Small Intestine meridian
The Small Intestine meridian, Taiyang of hand, begins at the internal nail angle of the little finger at the point Shaoze.
It will go up along the inner edge of the finger and the hand, on the border of the pink and white flesh.
It will go up the posterior part of the external face of the forearm.
At the elbow, it will pass through the epitrochleo-olecranon gutter (the little Jew's nerve).
It will move up the posterior part of the outer side of the arm.
Then it arrives at the level of the shoulder where it crosses the shoulder blade then goes up to Dazhui and comes back forward to pass through Quepen and penetrates internally to couple with the Heart and bind to the Small Intestine.
At the neck, a branch leaves the main path of Quepen, goes up the neck to the cheek and reaches under the cheekbone.
Then it returns to the tragus of the ear at the point Tinggong.
At the level of the cheekbone we have a small relay branch which leaves the main path which will join the internal canthus of the eye where the Bladder meridian will begin.
This meridian is very rich in points.
We will massage the Small Intestine meridian a lot as well as the Bladder meridian.
