Path of the Dumai meridian - Governing Vessel
The Dumai meridian will begin in the center of the small pelvis, the internal genital tract.
It descends and exits through the perineum at the point Huiyin (which is a point of Renmai meridian).
Then it goes backwards, passes through the coccyx, crosses the sacrum midline and goes up along the lumbar spine, midline.
At the height of the kidneys, it sends a branch to the kidneys.
Then it continues its journey all along the spine to the base of the skull.
There is a point just below the base of the skull called Fengfu where it sends a branch to the brain.
It will continue and cross the entire skull from back to front, the forehead in the middle, it passes between the 2 eyebrows, through the middle of the nose, through the middle between the nose and the upper lip and will end at the point Yinjiao which is located on the frenulum of the upper lip (between the upper lip and the gum, therefore in the mouth).
