Small Intestine meridian pathway
The Small Intestine meridian, hand Taiyang, begins at the inner nail corner of the little finger, at the point Shaoze.
It rises along the inner edge of the finger and hand, on the border between the pink and white skin.
It rises along the posterior part of the outer side of the forearm.
At the elbow, it passes through the groove between the medial epicondyle and the olecranon (the ulnar nerve, the 'funny bone').
It rises along the posterior part of the outer side of the arm.
It then reaches the shoulder, where it crosses the shoulder blade and rises up to Dazhui and comes forward again to pass through Quepen and enters internally to couple with the Heart and connect with the Small Intestine.
At the neck, a branch leaves the main pathway at Quepen, rises along the neck to the cheek and reaches below the cheekbone.
It then returns to the tragus of the ear at the point Tinggong.
At the cheekbone, a small connecting branch leaves the main pathway and goes to the inner canthus of the eye, where the Bladder meridian begins.
This meridian is very rich in points.
We massage the Small Intestine meridian a lot, as well as the Bladder meridian.
